I've seen requests for a Silverlight Report Designer spread across this site, and going back several years. I can understand the complexity of such a request, so I'm not going to ask for that.
What I would like, is the ability to capture as an event on the Silverlight Report Viewer, when a user 'clicks' on an element in a report that has an action associated with it. I feel this would be a relatively simple improvement, that would then enable me to implement my own UI to support setting properties on the selected report item.
Currently there are (I think) three implementations of IAction, being NavigateToUrlAction, NavigateToReportAction and NavigateToBookmarkAction. If it was possible to implement another, such as 'UserAction', that is raised as an event on the ReportViewer containing the report (and contains a reference to the report item that the user 'clicked'), then as developers we could capture that and implement our own logic.
Does this make sense?

Stuart

Hi Stuart,
It is in our plans to further improve the actions and allow custom actions, but to do that we need to make some changes in the core reporting engine. At this point we cannot engage with a timeframe for this functionality.
Anyway, you would be glad to know that the Silverlight report designer is a work in progress and we hope to release a first version by the end of the year.
Kind regards,
