I want to add drill-down report functionality to the reports in my PB 2017 application. I would welcome any hints.
My basic idea is that in summary reports, we would have clickable fields for the amounts that are totals, which if you click them, it replaces the currently displayed report with a detail report of the details making up that total. Then you want a Back button of some sort to take you back to the summary report you came from. I can see how to do most of that, but I'm not sure what to do about indicating that those fields are clickable.
One option would be to use the MouseMove event and when you are hovering over one of those fields, change its appearance to look like a hyperlink (blue text, underlined).
Another option would be to have those fields always look like a hyperlink, except switch them out of that appearance back to regular black text before printing (or saving to PDF).
Any thoughts about these options, or other issues?
Thanks.
