[RESOLVED] [2005] From DataReport to Crystal Reports

[guyjasper]

good day everyone.
i've recently moved from VB6 to VB.NET. i have this application and it uses Crystal Reports for reporting. I have a control under the "Header" section and i want to set its value/text at run time. in VB6's datareport, i could just use the code below:

    DataReport1.Sections(n).Controls(x).caption = "This is a test"

How can i do this when using crystal reports? i have search the forum but i couldn't get the right solution. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

okay, here's how i did it.

      Dim txtTemp As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject
      Dim xReceipt As New crReceipt

      With xReceipt
           txtTemp = .Section1.ReportObjects("txtTitle")
           txtTemp.Text = "This is a test."
      End With

The crReceipt object is a crystal report document i made. under Section1 of the report, i have a TextObject named "txtTitle". using the code above, you can programmatically set the Text property of the TextObject before showing the report in the report viewer.

Hope this helps.
