I know that when we started using SSRS reports that the end user was not able to select anything in a dropdown window until I added a new DWORD in Regedit/FEATURE_USE_WINDOWEDSELECTCONTROL for tessitura.exe.
I am going to be upgrading my IE 7 to IE 8 for testing. But I wanted to know if anyone has upgraded their IE 7 to IE 8 and if so did that effect the way the WindowSelectControl worked with the SSRS Reports?
I have upgraded to IE8 and tested this scenario. While the registry entry does still appear to be necessary for proper functioning of the dropdowns, the upgrade to IE8 did not reverse the fix or appear to cause any other problems viewing SSRS reports in Tessitura.
Is this reg fix on the SSRS server or each client machine and is there a TASK ticket / documentation for this fix?
thx!
Per workstation, I'm afraid. Here's the knowledgebase article for the fix.

Thanks for this post.
Hi All,
I wrote some vs 2008 C# code to modify the registry.
this post attached with source code, and exe file.
if you want to do it yourself you can modify the source code.
Otherwise, you can run regChangeVS2008.exe with permission to modify registry(such as Admin login).
have fun.

Gentlemen; I'm curious about this. Is this still a problem in SSRS? It's been a few years; we just implemented on SQL Server 2012, and I was unable to find any Googlable evidence of the wider SSRS world having this issue with IE 7. I am able to select from parameter header drop downs without this tweak, but for all I know this is referring to a different kind of drop down.
I bring this up because the Mail2 custom screen has the same issue, and I would have expected by now everyone could have just updated their software to use the "Windowless Select Control" instead of the old "Windowed Select Control" that causes an issue. Is there a larger reason for this still being a problem?
