Annotate text SELECTIVELY in Value property of a textbox in Report Designer

  • Here is what I want to do:

    In the Value property of the textbox in VS Report Designer I have:

    ="Members of NT Group: " & Fields!NTGroup.Value

    I want it to show up in the Browser as:

    Members of NT Group: SEC_group1

    Is that possible and how?

    thanks!

    Marios

  • I don't think you can do what you describe if you only use one control. Controls are rendered as a whole rather than character-by-character.

    Is there any reason you can't use a separate control for your static text?

    If separate controls are the only way to do this, I can live with that.

    I was just wondering whether there were any VB-like controls that would do the same thing.

    Thank you for the response.
