Limit Selected Values

BIRTigo

Hi,

For example I have 4 parameters:
TOP_N (Int / text box)
IP_Address (String/ List box / allow multiple value)
Start_Date (Date/Time / text box)
End_Date (Date/Time / text box)

The param IP_Address is using a dataset that is has a data 200 IP Addresses. When the user press Ctrl + A or selects all the IP_addresses BIRT/Eclipse just hangs(Shows "Not Responding") and freezes for a long time or sometimes closes Eclipse.

There is an option "List Limit ___ values" but this option will just filter the data taken from the DB. We need to show to the user all the available IP addresses and let the user select up to 10 values only even if we are showing hundreds of IPs.

Is there a way that we can somehow show a message or prevent or limit the number of data that the user can select on or before clicking the OK button on the parameter window, cause this is where it starts to hang.

Please help.

Hi BIRTigo,

You may have already solved this issue, but in case anyone else has a similar question...

If you create your own parameter page, you could handle the parameters however you'd like. You could probably have a check to see if they've selected more than 10 values and pop up a custom error message stating so rather than running the report.
