RAS and CrossTab Field

[Former Member]

Hi, I'm using RAS to change some properties of report fields. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and VB.NET.

I have a CrossTab in which I have field for Row and field for column and Summery field. How can I access this field ?

Thanks Filippo

Hi Filippo,

There are no API's to make any changes to a Crosstab in any of our engines, actually there never have been. All you can do is alter to object size, color and other visual parts. Nothing within the crosstab itself.

Only option is to manually create the crosstab and then you can alter the field objects using RAS.

To get assistance to create a manual crosstab please post your question to the Report Design forum.

Thank you

Hi Don,

I already have a report with a crosstab created manually. Now I want to change property of fields in crosstab at runtime with RAS but I'm not be able to find this fields ...

Hi Filippo,

Sorry you I did not explain it clearly. You can not use a Crosstab or Crosstab wizard. You create a report that looks like a crosstab report but is not using the crosstab wizard.

The Report Design team have samples that you can use so I suggest you ask them.

Again, there are no API's to get into a crosstab, only to set the properties of the object itself.

Thanks again

Don
