How to display textbox only in report header when report first opens

[Toya]

I am trying to display a textbox in the report header when the page is first opened and no parameters have been selected. Something like "Please select parameters to view report." I am trying to do this by creating a binding on the textbox like this "=IIf(Parameters.Plant.Value Is Nothing, True, False)" So if the plant parameter is blank (which it would be), display the text box otherwise do not.

I can't get this to work. Can you give me some insight as to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

I was able to solve this by creating report header and placing the textbox there. Then the code I had worked.

Good work around!

Hi Toya,

Thank you for reaching out.

Using the AutoRun property, when there are no parameters it will display the "Please select parameters to view the report" message to the user.

For more information, you can use this Properties and Settings of the Report Definition - Telerik Reporting article.

Note that this functionality was added with the latest version of the product - Telerik Reporting - Progress® Telerik® Reporting 2024 Q4 (18.3.24.1112).

If further questions arise do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,

We are on 2022 version. Is there another way to make this happen in our version?

Thank you
