Entering multiple string parameters?

[gabster]

Can please someone tell me how can I enter multiple string values to be passed to a parameter in CR?

I started out with this code, but I got lost:

CustomerReport.ParameterFields(1).EnableMultipleValues = True

Thanks a lot,
Gabi.

Multiple values can be passed through the AddCurrentValue method of the ParameterFieldDefinition object.

For Example:

'crxRPT is the name of the report object.
'ParameterFields(1) references the first parameter in the ParameterFieldDefinitions collection.

'Enable multiple values for the parameter
crxRPT.ParameterFields(1).EnableMultipleValues = True

'Pass three separate parameters to the parameter field.
crxRPT.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue "Canada"
crxRPT.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue "USA"
crxRPT.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue "UK"

Here is a question...

What if I never know how many of these multiple parameters are entered. I am thinking of some sort of a dynamic coding that does this.

Thanks again,

You're going to have to know somehow. Perhaps you'll have a multi-select listbox in VB and you'll have to loop through the items in the listbox checking to see if each one is selected. For each one selected, you do a .AddCurrentValue.

Here is another one on parameter fields:
How do I reference a parameter that resides in my subreport in VB code?

 

[balves]

You have to open up the sub-report in VB and then pass the parameter to the sub-report object.

This article has a pretty complete example:
