CrystalReportViewer in CR2008 - Parameter panel - apply button

Question

Hi,
I'm working on a .net desktop application, that uses CR embedded server as a reports engine.
We just migrated from CRXIR2 embedded server  to CR2008 Embedded server in our new release.
We want to use the new functionality of dynamic parameters in CR2008 in our application,
In our client side, we wrapped the crystalreportviewer control and hid the navigation buttons and toolbars, and replaced them with our own. We also have our own parameter pannel.
I  would like to hide the viewer's parameter panel in our client side, and add an "Apply" button to our custom parameter panel, that will apply the parameter values without refreshing the report. This is meant to keep the same look and feel with the previous version of our product.
I found how to hide the parameter panel:
this.reportViewer.MainCrystalViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = false;\\MainCrystalViewer is crystalReportViewer object
I didn't find any method that applyes the parameters.
Please advise.
Thanks
Dana

I think I found how to do it:
public void ApplyParameters(Hashtable parameters)
            ReportDocument doc = ((ReportDocument) m_viewer.MainCrystalViewer.ReportSource);
            foreach (string param in parameters.Keys)
                    doc.SetParameterValue(param, parameters[param]);
            m_viewer.MainCrystalViewer.ReportSource = doc;
Still testing this method.
