Crystal report active x viewer not displaying in chrome, Firefox and IE(10,11)

[Former Member]

I have a web application in classic asp and for reporting I am using Crystal Report 11.5 in the application. When I am trying to print the report, the crystal report viewer(crystalreportviewers115) is not displaying in Chrome, Firefox and IE (10, 11) .But it is working properly in IE 7, 8, 9. Please provide a solution. Do i need to change my asp code?

Neither Chrome, nor FireFox support ActiveX directly. Reading the contents on this link http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/can-chrome-use-activex-34548.html:

While Google Chrome doesn't directly support ActiveX controls, you can still use them by incorporating a workaround.

Some of those work-arounds (I've never tried any of these myself):

And there are other resources - google 'ActiveX Chrome'.

Legacy SDK so moved to Legacy SDK forum.

For IE and other try setting it to Compatibility mode, may work for the new browsers.

Or update to CR .NET Assemblies and use ASP.NET in VS 2010/2012 or 2013.

Download the CR plug-in from here:

Also note you cannot use Express versions of VS since they don't support plug-ins.

Please try using the report object instead the viewer, you can use its PrintToPrinter property in other to print and using the viewer control for just viewing (maybe adding another print button for that matter).

Hi,

I am currently in the shape to give support crystal report 11.5 with chrome browser.

I am also using classic ASP code. I need to know does it supports chrome?

If yes plz help me in this regard, what changes I need to do?

Can I use Activex control for Chrome, since it doesn't support it directly?

Thanks,

SMA

Unfortunately, no support for Chrome. You may want to try the following config of Chrome, but if that does not work, time to update the app to use the CR SDK for VS .NET or the CR SDK for Eclipse.
