.Net 2.0

CR 12.0 runtime/ same issue in designer.

Windows app.

dev issue

The dialog shows scrollbars...and no maximize button.

It's possible to resize window manually...but you need to do it every time.

It had been much better if the dialog take advantage of the bigger screen resolution....so that you can see all parameters without scrolling or resizing the dialog.

Offcourse it's possible to make an own dialog and prompt for parameters...but it hade been nice to use the one that exists.

Hi

As mentioned that CR 12.0.* is the version of CR dll's that means you are using CR 2008 - am I right?

If it is the case and the issue is also same in the designer then please post this thread in the right community i.e. Crystal Reports Designer.

This forum is monitored by Design experts and you will get proper assistance.

Link to that forum is - [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-forums]

Hope that help.

Yes, I'm using 2008 Designer creating reports.

But CR 12.0 .Net API to run them in my application.

So this is wrong forum for CR 12.0 .Net API ?

Hello Lars,

This is the correct forum for .NET API/development questions. The parameter dialog box is not exposed via the CR.NET SDK (or any of our other SDKs). This means you won't be able to adjust the form manually through code.

You can create your own parameter page and then pass the parameters to the report at runtime instead of letting the engine prompt for parameters. There should be parameter samples available on the support site.
