Does anyone know if there is a way to get a text box to appear when you hover over a field on a report and then disappear when you move the pointer away from the field? I think this is called a tooltip box, but I'm not positive.
Thanks

Set the "ToolTip" property of the text box. *grin*

Thanks for the info, although a key piece of information (that I just learned) was that the tooltip will not show up within Reporting Services, rather, it has to be deployed in order to see the mouse over. Additionally, there isn't any 'special' syntax associated with the tooltip as "Hello world my name is Joe" works just fine. Thanks again!

Hi,

I want to change the color of the text after onclick, within the sql server reporting services.

Most importantly as I have discovered, the field or calculation must be a String or the tooltip just won't work.

Note that with BIDS on 2008 R2, you don't need to deploy the report to show the tooltips. The preview shows them.

I don't see any on-click properties for you to be able to change the font colour, however, if you are using a custom report website or the report manager default site it is possible to get into the CSS and make some overriding anchor settings in there.
