Working with Web Controls

Web controls are report components designed to be similar to the kinds of controls found on web pages. This topic introduces how you can use different web controls in your reports.

Report provides web controls such as Text Field, Drop-down List, and Button that are usually used in web pages. In most cases, web controls are not used independently. They are bound with web actions. Based on the different functions and usages, Report classifies web controls into two types: basic web controls and advanced web controls. For the basic web controls, you need to bind web actions to them by yourself. Advanced web controls are defined with specific web actions or are used for specific purposes so that you can use them directly.
