Can you explain this a little more? If you click on a column, you want a report ran for each value in the column? Or you want to run multiple reports using the value you click in a column as a parameter. Or something else? Let me know. Thanks!

Im using a grid to the content values.I want drill through reports for that column (platform_model) based upon the value of the row .eg if the value in the row is " Android " , I want it to "open android.rptdesign" and if the value is iPhone , it should open "iphone.rptdesign" .

Gotcha. You don't have to use a standard drill through. You could build your drill down link in a URI type hyperlink. This should make it easy to change the design name based on the value.

the main agenda for not using URI is that im also passing parameters to the relative report design? can you provide a sample ?

Okay. Well, in the onCreate of the element, you could do something like this:

if(this.getValue() == "Android"){
this.action.drillThrough.reportName = "Android.rptdesign";
}

Just set the original report to be your iPhone one and each time Android is the value, the design should change. Let me know.
