Hi All,
How do i dynamically change the columns of a report based on the input parameters.

Hi Deepak:

You can dynamically change the columns of the report. But that's very cumbersome.

But the easiest way to go about is select all the columns that will be required for the report at strech.

Then we can dynamically display the columns selected by the user in the details section by overriding MakeContents method of the frame.

Send me a mail so that i can send you a sample for you. Tell me what version of actuate you are using???
Thanks

Arun,
I'm using MakeContents() to dyanmically build controls but the process seems to be very inefficient as the report generation time is slower by a factor of 10 compared to using static controls. Memory usage is also much greater.

I'm dynamically building controls because I don't know until run time what type of control is needed (AcTextContol, AcDoubleControl, etc.). I'm comparing multiple database fields before setting the datarow variable.

Have you run into this problem?

I'm currently running Actuate 6.1.

I am trying to do the same. Can someone email me the sample code to do this.

Thanks,
