Customising toolbar in the browser of RS HTML viewer

Dear friends,

please help me by commenting on my query.

Query::

I want to know how to customise the tool bar in RS HTML viewer, we can hide or show the toolbar using rc:toolbar= false/true, But i want to customise the tool bar.

ie, There is a combo for export formats to export the displaying reports. I want to customise that combo. I can clear the items by removing the extension element in the config of RS, but i want to do it in run time .

ie, My different reports should show different export formats simulteniously

You can customize the individual items on the toolbar with the information below:

However, there is no way to dynamically customize the rendering extensions that can be used at runtime (or on a per-report basis). You essentially enable or disable each rendering extension in the config files, and based on this work, certain formats show or don't show in the combo-box.

If you *must* have this functionality, I'd suggest that you turn off the toolbar completely and create your own version of the HTML toolbar which handles paging, zooming, etc. via URL Access (There is a sample of this in SSRS 2000). If you go this route, YOU can choose what rendering extensions to show the user in your own combo-box...However this will take a fair amount of work.

As u said i checked the path

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer\styles

the Styles folder doesn't exist. my version is RS 2000 enterprise Edition.

i searched for .css files in my installation folder i only got one major css ie ,reportingservices.css in

Reportmanager\styles

It's very helpful and good article.

but can we make the changes in main "htmlviewer.css" and we got the reflected changes in all the reportserver reports.so by doing this we don't have to make another copy of css file and give "rc:Stylesheet=cssfilename".

i have also second question is there any way by which we can pass "rc:Stylesheet=cssfilename" URL to parent report to child report(by drilling down-jump to report) method.

thanks in advance.

i didnt see any provision for adding url parameters in child reports. but we shall try one thing .

In your parent u add a parametr in some name "stylesheet" , and pass the value . this we can do . and while making the chil report u can assign parametrs or that , so create a parameter in the name "rc:Stylesheet" and select the value . the value is the parent parame value

ie , "rc:Stylesheet = stylesheet "

hope u will inform me regarding this

Hai it's good idea, thanks ..

i did one try and it's working.

i had add "rc:Stylesheet=cssfilename" in my parent report, now when i am drilling down to child report

"rc:Stylesheet=cssfilename" parameter will automatcally carried forward to next report(child report).so there is no problem

for passing "rc:Stylesheet=cssfilename" one report to another report.

but i try your solution in different case, because i have also problem while passing "rs:clearsession=true" to other report.

Thanks,
Sanket.
