This document describes how to add controls to a report.

Use the End-User Designer's Toolbox to add controls to your report.

You can drag fields from the Field List onto your report to add data-bound controls, after you bound your report to a data source.

Drag a field from the Field List and drop it onto the report's surface.

To add a control of specific type, do either of the following:

•Hold down the SHIFT key and drop a data field onto a report's surface.

•Right-click a data field and drop it onto a report's surface.

This invokes a context menu where you can select which control to add.

Hold the CTRL or SHIFT key and click several fields. Drop them onto the report's surface to add a table with its cells bound to these fields.

Drop an entire data table from the Field List to add a report table with columns bound to the data table's fields.

To add column headers, do either of the following:

•Select the fields and hold the CTRL or SHIFT key when you drop them onto a report surface.

•Drag and drop fields with the right mouse button.

This adds a new table whose cells display the field names.

You can add text and graphics from external applications to your reports:

•Drag a file, text or image from an external application onto your report.

•Copy a file, text or image from an external application, and paste it into your report.

The following table shows which file types transform into report controls:
