Question

I am using the ReportViewer control in an ASP.NET WebForms application to display (and optionally export/print) reports. Standard stuff really.

However, my users are complaining that the toolbar scrolls with the report content: so if they want move to the next page it is necessary to scroll back to the top of the page first.

I cannot find any articles (here or elsewhere) that indicate any means of making the toolbar static (as in, the toolbar stays at the top of the page and the content of the report scrolls underneath). Can anybody here point me at a method that may allow this?

Thanks.

As per my comment against rt2800’s response, the problem was related to the height set against the ReportViewer control. I resolved this with a little JavaScript that resizes the control according to the available space on the screen…

<script type="text/javascript">
    function resizeFormToClientHeight() {
        var reportViewer = document.getElementById("<%= form.ClientID %>");
        form.style.height = document.documentElement.clientHeight + "px";
    }
    resizeFormToClientHeight();
    window.onresize = function resize() { resizeFormToClientHeight(); }
</script>
