How do I add a textobject to the report footer

[Former Member]

I can enumerate to the report footer using the report document. But I cannot find a way to add a text object to the footer. Is this possible? If so, a pointer in the right direction will be much appreciated.

I am using VS 2008 (C#) and Crystal Reports 2008.

Hi,

well about inserting a text object in a report footer - you can insert a text objet directly to report footer by clicking on insert and text object.

I just need more information about your requirement and how you are enumerating report through report docuument.

Hope that helps!!

Amit, the question was how to do it with code. I did specify VS2008(C#). That is why I am talking about a Report Document object.

It is possible to add objects to a report at runtime, but you will have to use the Report Application server (RAS). See the following sample app:

1. We build windows applications. Can you use the RAS server for windows apps as well?

2. The functionality to add and change fields existed since CR9. Has it now been removed?

I am pretty sure that it was not possible to add any objects to a report at runtime in CR 9...

And yes, you can use RAS in a Win app. See the following for more details:

I have not done it myself, but I have seen code where it is done using the api.

But, thanks. The team will have to discuss how to move forward.

If you ever find the code for CR 9, please do share it in this forum.
