Customize Parameter Section

[Saima Gul]

 My requirement is to display a button in parameter section and a search form is open on pressing that button, user select value and that value would be displayed in text box placed in parameter section how can i do that?

Hi Saima Gul,

The built-in report parameters' purpose is to provide basic UI that is available out of the box and that is enough for most scenarios. For other cases, that might require custom logic as in your case, you would have to create a custom parameter area and wire it up to the Report API.

What ended up being your solution? I have been trying to get this to work for two days in MVC. 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

You will have to simply create your own parameters area the way you need it (using your controls or other controls, widgets in the case of js only solution) and then collect the user input. Once you collect the user input you will have to send it to the server. Once you have the user input on the server just use it to pass the values to the report parameters programmatically - for more information you can check how to pass report parameters programmatically here - http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-parameters-programmatic-control.html.

I wish if i could the share the code with you but i cant....
But here is the basic idea :-
I made a user control to replace the default parameter are of telerik report and set the parameter on code behind in the reportViewer's RenderBegin event (use this link given by  'UNKNOWN' to add parameter in run time)
