Hide parameter through script

pcsquirrel

Hello,

I want to hide a parameter from a scripted reportevent.

I tried the following code in the Report Initialization event:

reportContext.getDesignHandle().findParameter('param1').setHidden(true);

But it seems, that this event is executed after displaying the parameter page in the webviewer. so i moved the code to the BeforeOpen Event of my Data Source. Param1 is bound to a dataset and so the Data Source event is executed before the Parameterpadge is displayed but the parameter selectionbox is still visible.

Any ideas?

kind regards

What are you trying to obscure the parameter from? The user? There is a property when you define the parameter itself where you can flag it as hidden (see thumbnail). This will make the parameter "invisible" to the user and it will not be placed on the parameter request screen. This mode allows application-level parameters to be passed to a report without the user being aware.

Does this do what you need?
