Highlighting value based on TOC click within BIRT 3.7.2

Question

I am constructing a report in BIRT. I am trying to highlight the value that it jumps to when a user clicks one of the groups in the table of contents. It seems like this should be an easy thing to do, but I can't find any documentation for a built-in feature that accomplishes this. I am familiar with the highlighting conditions, but in order to use these I have to be able to access the value that has been clicked in the table of contents and then highlight it if tableOfContentsItem Equal to currentRowField. Is this possible without modifying the javascript "onClick" code for BIRT Report Viewer?

EDIT: BIRT Version 3.7.2

Answer 1

Given the clarification in the the comments. I can say that if it is possible it would require significant amounts of Java or JavaScript to accomplish.

By the time the report is displayed to the user in the web window, all of the report creation is completed. There are not any easily defined click and/or drag rules in BIRT to have different display changes based on activity after the report is created.

It is likely possible to do as you wish. If you can write enough Java or JavaScrip you can do pretty much anything in BIRT. But I think the skills required would be beyond what you or I currently have.
