Crystal 11 Report Parameters

#1 Post by Stuart.Fraser »

Hi Folks,

I'm working with Crystal 11 running against an Oracle 11g database. Anyone have any ideas on how to pass parameters to the report?

Thanks,

Stu

Just in case you ever have to do this:

Local cReport:="MyReportName.rpt"

oCrystal := ActiveXObject():create( "CrystalRuntime.Application.11" ) // create the Crystal Report Object
oReport:=oCrystal:openreport(cReport) // Configure the report

oReport:ParameterFields:GetItemByName(<Param Name>):ClearCurrentValueAndRange() // clear any saved data
oReport:ParameterFields:GetItemByName(<Param Name>):AddCurrentValue( <value> ) // set the new value

Hi Stuart,

Is there a site that lists all the CR methods available for us to use in a XBASE application?

Best Regards,

Andy

How are you using it. I had read that the developer of the FRAX component that used fastreport has passed away.

Are you using directly or in some other fashion.

Yes you are correct. Sergey passed on some months ago. I purchased FRAX from him before his demis. Using FRAX is extremely easy. All Xbase++ data types are supported. Variables (All types), objects, functions, macros just name it. I have done hundreds of reports with it in the last two years. Awasome !!! If you can conceptualize a report, fastreport can actualise it. The power is unbelievable.

I learnt that the wife is still selling it. But I advice that you download the trial and do some stuffs first to convince yourself.

If you need further assistance do let me know.

Joe.
