We are trying to allow filtering at the report level. Ideally we would want drop down lists on the report that the user can use to select the parameters. Is this possible with crystal? It seems the current way is to prompt the user for the parameter with a pop up. Can we remove this popup or format it's appearance?

Cheers in advance :)

Hi.
- place a CrystalReportViewer control on a form
- a button
- a combobox

in the following code,
the user selects a value in the combo (wich is first bind to a datasource, datamember etc..)
press the button and the viewer loads the
report passing the combo selection as parameter
then no popup is needed.


here is the code: hope this helps.
with thanks to the 'DragonsHouse'.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = Nothing
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Nothing

        paramField = New ParameterField
        descreteVal = New ParameterDiscreteValue
        paramField.ParameterFieldName = "ClientName"
        descreteVal.Value = Me.CMB_ClientName.SelectedValue
        paramField.CurrentValues.Add(descreteVal)
        paramFields.Add(paramField)

        CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields

        Dim a As New crCustomerByWorkers ' the rpt file
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = a
    End Sub
