Hi,
Is there a property in Reporting Servcies 2008R2 that will hightlight the report row when the mouse hovers over it? I have a requirement to do this. Current my report has the green bar effect on the rows but users want the row hightlighted when the mouse is over it.
Thanks

I don't believe there are any properties that would allow you to do this within SSRS. There is the ToolTip, but that won't highlight the cell, it will put up a bubble and there is usually a delay of a second or two. You could try a Create Placeholder in a textbox and put some JavaScript in the HTML section, but I have no idea if that would work.

Same thing here. AFAIK there's little to no events in the code of SSRS. Assuming they don't exists you're stuck going to asp.net to do a hover class. I'm trying to think of a way to put it in ssrs but I'm not inspired at the moment...

ok, it's possible in HTML, but how to inject it into a report is the part i cannot help with.

you can google "CSS highlight TR" for code examples, but essentially, you have to get the < tr > tag to have events to change/highlight the row.

<tr

onmouseover="this.className='highlight'" onmouseout="this.className='normal'">

Well there's your answer...

do you have the option to export and send via e-mail? With a little work you'd just have to export the file and change the html code... shouldn't be too hard.
