I'm using Telerik reporting, and I have to create a report with many sections that are configurable. So I've made a main report with subreports for each section. In my main report, I'd like to use the header, to set the title of each section. How do I set a textbox's value dynamically in the header of the main report, based on the subreport displayed on the current page?
I've seen in the expression editor that there's a Global Object ReportItem, is there example on how to use that ? Could that be used to get what I want ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Hin,
In the context of the page sections you do not have access to the items in the current page or any fields. What you have, are the global objects PageNumber and PageCount and you can use only them to determine what text to show in the page header.
For example you can use the expression:
=Iif(PageNumber < 3, "Subreport 1", "Subreport 2")
This approach is applicable only if you know in front what content will be displayed on what page.
Other approach is to put the title of the subreport in the report header of the definition of the subreport, as advised in this forum thread.
Similar scenario with proposed solutions you can find in the forum thread Page Footer Expression Problem.
Also, please follow the links from the thread above for additional information about purpose and usage of all sections in a Telerik Report.
Let us know if you need any further help.
