Crystal Report: Format Horizontal Alignment

[blackdevil1979]

Hello,

Is there a way to format the data when it is passed into the Crystal
Report(CR).. for example.. In the original table, a number may be
left aligned, how to change it to right alignment?.. in other words I
want to change it's Format: Horizontal Alignment
from Left To Right if the
data passed in is an Integer, Currency, or
DateTime.

thanx

Hi BlackDevil,

This is how i do it :

Dim crreportobject As
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.Report Object

For Each crreportobject In
crReportDocumen t.ReportDefinit ion.ReportObjec ts
'' formats text object
If TypeOf (crreportobject ) Is
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.TextOb ject Then
Dim crtextobject As
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.TextOb ject
If Trim(crreportob ject.Name) = "Text2" Then
crtextobject = DirectCast(crre portobject,
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.TextOb ject)
crtextobject.Te xt = "Hi"
End If
End If
'' formats field object
If TypeOf (crreportobject ) Is
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.FieldO bject Then
Dim crtextobject As
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.FieldO bject
If Trim(crreportob ject.Name) = "Field73" Then
crtextobject = DirectCast(crre portobject,
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.FieldO bject)

crtextobject.Ob jectFormat.Hori zontalAlignment =
Alignment.Right Align
End If
End If
Next

Kind Regards
Jorge

Hello Jorge,

Sorry, need to ask you something.

1. What crReportDocumen t? Is it the name of your Crystal Report or
something else?

a)........becau se when I change from
crReportDocumen t.ReportDefinit ion.ReportObjec ts()
to
[b:ba3448b144]report[/b:ba3448b144].ReportDefiniti on.ReportObject s()
(dim Public report As CrystalReport1 = New CrystalReport1) it there
are some incorrect syntax such as with
crreportobject. Name,
[i:ba3448b144]DirectCast(crre portobject,
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.TextOb ject) [/i:ba3448b144],
and [i:ba3448b144]crtextobject.Te xt[/i:ba3448b144],
[i:ba3448b144]crtextobject.Ob jectFormat[/i:ba3448b144],
[i:ba3448b144]Alignment.Right Align().[/i:ba3448b144]

b) if i dont change it, [b:ba3448b144]crReportDocumen t[/b:ba3448b144]
needs declaration..an d
[i:ba3448b144]crtextobject.Te xt[/i:ba3448b144],
[i:ba3448b144]crtextobject.Ob jectFormat[/i:ba3448b144],
[i:ba3448b144]Alignment.Right Align().[/i:ba3448b144] and
[i:ba3448b144]DirectCast(crre portobject,
CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine.FieldO bject)[/i:ba3448b144]
has syntax error.

c) If I change it to
[b:ba3448b144]OrrasReport.[/b:ba3448b144]ReportDefinitio n , it stated
that reference to non-shared member requires an object reference. and
the same other syntax error in b).

thanks
