Is it possible to have a List box or a combo box instead of a Drop downlist

Hi

Is it possible to have a list box or a combo box for selecting parameters instead of having a drop down list...

and If yes how can i do it?

Regards

Sure you can. Just drag a listbox control onto your page. Set the autopostback property to true if you want to allow postback and SelectionMode to Multiple if you want to allow more than one item to be selected. Then to access the items programmatically, you can do something like this.

Dim xAsString =String.Empty

For iAsInteger = 0To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1

If ListBox1.Items(i).Selected =TrueThen

x = x & ListBox1.Items(i).Text &","

EndIf

Next

Magic

do u wanna have a drop down list that has check boxes in it for multiple selections if so.. then

1) in your report parameter select the parameter that u want make as a dropdown and then select the multivalue check boxes...

2) if you want u can create a different dataset to popluate the drop down list and select query from the avaliable values.. and then select the dataset etc. and click ok.

3) in your stored procedure should like this...

Declare the @.Param as nvarchar(max)

@.sqltext nvarchar(max)

if the @.Param is NULL

Begin

select * from whatever and include the joins

Else

Begin

Select @.SqlText = 'Select * from tablename where Field or columnname in @.Param'

Exceute (@.sqltext)

End

Hope this helps,

Regards
