Crystal Report Title @ Run Time
-
Hello Friends, Please let me know if there's an easy to change the Report Title of Crystal Report at Runtime Coz I could see that once you create the Crystal Report there's no option to change the title else I have to start from the scratch creating a new Crystal Report and at that point of time adding the title what I want. Please share if you know something about this. Thanking you in anticipation.

yes you can change it...assuming you mean some text thats displayed as a title. there isnt much you can do with the version of CR(2008) at runtime, at least as far as dynamic charts go, but assuming you know what section your title is in, you can loop through that sections report objects, looking for text objects, i cant remmeber if there are title objects, and then you can change the text of the objects yo ufind...something like int i = 0; CrystalReport rpt = new CrystalReport(the class should be the name of your rpt file - the extension) foreach (TextObject to in rpt.Section1.ReportObjects) { to.Text = i; i++; } this way you can see what the index of the box you want changed is.. i recomend reading anything by Brian Bischof(sp?) or picking up one or more of his books if you'll have to deal with CR alot, even ones written in an older version helped me alot. i think i have Crystal Reporting for .NET. I gave up on CR a while ago so there may be an easier way, this was just the first method that came to mind. hope it helps.

If you don't need to do it at run time, then you can change the title of the report by right mouse clicking on the file name (myreport.rpt), go to properties, then the Summary tab and change the name of the report. I thought this was a bit strange, but it works for me. Crystal Reports 10.

I didn't meant to change the name of the report. I'm talking about the last section in the Crystal Report creation wizard which asks you to enter a title for the report and that title gets displayed every time you execute the report ( e.g Sales Summary Report - 2008 ). The top most title on the report page. To be more clear, I'm talking about the : PAGE HEADER (SECTION 2) of the Crystal Report. And I don't see any option to change the title name. Please comment.

Hi, After the report is created by the wizard: - Select from menu Report / Report parameters - Add a string parameter - Right click on the title and select Expression - you can see the static text in the expression, replace it with the parameter - just before launching the report, deliver the value for the parameter Hope this helps, Mika
