Thank you

Yes, you could do this yourself.  You may have to wait until the 1.6.1 release which will come out in June.  We have exposed the Business Object that is used within the BrowseDialog internally so you could create an InfoPanel, reference the BO within the browse to access the data our pull it out of that instance into another instance, then create a report as normal.  So yes, it is possible.  We have made a lot of enhancements to the BrowseDialog in the 1.6.1 release to give even more control to the developer.

This is the entire purpose of the InfoPanel...add support that does not natively exist within the BrowseDialog.  You could create a toolbar that resides in an InfoPanel...now that you have access to the BrowseForm and BrowseDialog object, you can do pretty much anything that you want to....even access the ListView that is populated.
