Has anyone tried to change the appearance of the toggle image yet?
The little +/- sign that shows up when something is expanded or collapsed is what I'm talking about. I have the drilldown functionality and the hidden feature and the InitialToggle<whatever> property down pat. What I'd like to do is change the "Initial appearance of the toggle image for this report item" property.
There are, on the bottom of the visibility tab, three choices for this appearance. Expanded (-), Collapsed (+) and Expression. I have a parameter which asks the user if they want the report to initially render as Open (expanded) or Closed (collapsed). The problem I run into is, no matter which way the report opens, the little toggle image looks like a Plus sign (+).
So if the report opens as collapsed, all is good and well, because everyone knows a + sign means you can expand something. But if it opens as expanded, it still has a plus sign. Click the plus sign and it changes to a minus sign while collapsing the detail....
I tried putting an IIF(Param = Open, Expanded, Collapsed) in the expression, but it didn't change the toggle image even though the code appeared to compile fine. I tried it with an IIF(Param = Open, "-", "+"), both with and without the quotes. RS didn't like it without the quotes.
Any ideas?
