Hi mrcool,

attached a solution to solve your Problem. There are several steps to include a new Toolbox Item to your CRN.

Okay, lets go.

1. Step
Put this

<string id="IDS_EL_List_Vertical">Vertical List</string>

into the File X:\PROGRAM FILES\COGNOS\CRN\WEBCONTENT\PAT\RES\REPORTSTUDIO_EN.XML
in the Section

<section name="RSB" type="UI">

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Step
there after put this

<ListItem idsLabel="IDS_EL_List_Vertical" idsTooltip="IDS_EL_List_Vertical" smallIcon="icon_list_vertical.gif" xptr="StandardComponents.xml#List_Vertical"/>

into the File X:\PROGRAM FILES\COGNOS\CRN\WEBCONTENT\PAT\TOOLBOX.XML

in the Section

<ListViews>

   <ListView id="LayoutView" classPrefix="clsListItem_tb">
      <ListItems>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Step
there after put This

Ã,  Ã,  <!-- Vertical_List -->
Ã,  Ã,  <toolboxControl id="List_Vertical">
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <createNewFrame>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <list>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <listColumnTitles>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <CSS value="background-color:#0066FF;writing-mode:tb-rl;filter:flipH() flipV();color:white;border-bottom:2.25pt ridge #CCFFFF"/>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </listColumnTitles>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <listColumns>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <CSS value="border:2.25pt ridge #CCFFFF"/>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </listColumns>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  <CSS value="border-collapse:collapse;border:2.25pt ridge #CCFFFF"/>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </style>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </list>
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  </createNewFrame>
Ã,  Ã,  </toolboxControl>


into the File X:\PROGRAM FILES\COGNOS\CRN\WEBCONTENT\PAT\STANDARDCOMPONENTS.XML

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Step

there after copy the File "ICON_LIST_VERTICAL.GIF"

in the DirectoryÃ,  "X:\PROGRAM FILES\COGNOS\CRN\WEBCONTENT\PAT\IMAGES"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Line with the Text "writing-mode:tb-rl;filter:flipH() flipV();" is the solution for your Problem.
tb-rl = writing-mode from (t)op to (b)ottom, (r)ight to (l)eft then flip this in vertical AND horizontal.

I have attached the GIF-File an two PicÃ,´s where you can see, where you find the new Toolbox-Item and how the Solution looks like.

Btw. This and the "Existing Format" included in CRN are only working in HTML-Output. I dosnÃ,´t work if you show it in PDF or XLS. That is the answer from Cognos Support. :-(

Hope that helps a little.

Hi buddy...it worked fine...In our case we need both horizontal and vertical at a time...Plz check the attachment for your reference.

Hi Frnds....Finally I have found the sol to my issue...

Add the style in default_layout.css which is located @ cognos\crn\webcontent\cr1

The following Syntax is to be added...
.myStyle { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000;writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH() flipV(); width: 15px; }

Apply this style to the list column (which has to be changed) using the CLASS  Property from the properties Window...
                                         Thanks for your postings.... :)
                           

And special Thanks to jolly... :)
