how do I reference a text box value in an expression? SSRS - reporting-services

I have a list and inside this list I have a text box.
Since it's a list, the text box value changes for each row in the dataset.
OUTSIDE this list, I have another text box which is part of the HEADER.
I want the HEADER to change based on the value of the text box in the list.
In the text box in the header, how do I reference the text box inside the list?

To refer to any report objects you can use ReportItems Collection.
In your header textbox put a expression like this to refer to textbox in the list:
=ReportItems!TextBoxList1.Value
Remember SSRS is case sensitive. Make sure you get the right name of the text box object you are referring to.

SSRS(rdl file) How to add multiple expressions to one text box

When choosing a textbox in rdl design file - you can add expression. But how do I add multiple expressions to the same textbox?
Click in the text box until you get the cursor (usually 1st click
will select the text box, the 2nd will place the cursor in it).
Next, right-click the cell and choose Create Placeholder
Set the expression for the placeholder as you would for a textbox.
Now you can also type literals into the text box and then right-click again when you need another place holder
Repeat as required...
I often use this for things like page numbers with a total that might look like this...
Note: You can format each piece of text individually too using this method.

Find all text boxes in SSRS?

I am trying to implement Expand or Collapse facility to my report in SQLSERVER 2008R2.
For that purpose I have taken a text box named TextBox16.
But when I went to Tablix property and then visibility and then hide and Display can be toggled by this report item. Here I am not able to see all text boxes it showing to me, only odd number text boxes. Then how can I find all text boxes from Tablix property?
How to see all text boxes:
Click on the body of the report.
Hit F4.
Under the properties title is a drop down with every single object in your report. All of your text boxes should be listed in here.

Can a control source be plain text?

I need the control source for a textbox to simply be "x".
I have a bunch of textboxes on a report and I need each text box to just have an x in it.
You can set the Control Source property for the TextBox to be:
="x"
This will cause the text box to display an x in the report. However, its contents will not be editable as would be the case with a text box in a form.
