Hi,
Slightly off topic - if you know of a good place elsewhere to ask then please let me know 
I want to put a textbox or field into a crystal report and that textbox is filled by reading in a text file at run time. To clarify, a user types in their text which could be several pages using their favourite wordprocessor and then the contents are incorporated into the Crystal Report generated by the program in much the same way as database fields are.
Is this possible?
If not, are there any alternatives to achieving the same end result?

In older versions of Crystal the answer was no although you could have tried working with OLE objetcs (not recommended, it was a nightmare!) but now with the latest versions you can write VB code that should permit you to do what you want. I think you need at least version 10, or maybe version 9 can't rmenber exactely when VB code was introduced.

Thanks for the response.

I was looking at this and I think you're right

That's the version that ships with VS2005 - or at least a cut down version anyway.
Any idea where I may be able to find somewhere on the net that tells me how to do it?

Personnaly I lloked at the version that ships with VS and ordered the full version right away. There is no way you will create reports with this version if you want to use the features of Crystal Reports. In the shipped version you have to prepare your data before hand and then create the report besed on that.
If you feel you need more help try the http://www.businessobjects.com but again, any help you get from there might not apply as you don't have the full version.

I am reading pixel by pixel from a image, creating a color object corresponding to that pixels color and witing a "." into a word file and coloring it with the same color as the pixel.
But Word.wdColor has only 60 colors I am not able to relate the color object with Word.wdColor enum.

Hi,
The only way I could capture the TAB key was on the KeyUp event

The keyup event does not get fired if you select the button and hit tab. The only event gets fired is the leave event.

Hello
The best thing to do, I believe, would be to handle the LostFocus event. It will be fired when the button loses focus whether by the tab key or the mouse.
Isn't this what you want? If not, please give more details.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick response.
As you mention, the lost focus (Leave event for the button) will get fired for both key board and mouse movements.
I explicitly need to capture Tab event generated on the button so that I can set the focus to some other control on the form. The reason is, Am using MDI form and displays two child windows side by side. On the first child window, when the focus is on the last control and the user clicks on TAB, the focus should go to the first control of second child window.
Hope things are clear and you might be in able to help me out.
Thanks
Regards

Hello
If you are using .Net 2.0 framework, handle the PreviewKeyDown event
private void MyButton_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Tab)
MessageBox.Show("Tab");
}
I hope this helps
Regards

Hello,
Do you whant to navigate with the Tab Key?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I need to navigation on the screen thru TAB.
Actually, Its MDI form and has two child windows displays side by side. On the first child window, when the focus is on the last control and the user hits TAB, the focus should go to the first control of the second child form.
Thanks in advace for all your suggestion/help

Hello,
I think it's best to watch lostfocus event of the last control.
Then you can set Focus on the first Focus of the child Form.
Hope that helps you!
All the best,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Lost focus can happen even when the user select someother control via mouse. I need to implement TAB navigation. I cannot do this using Lost Control event.
Let me know if there is any other alternative.

Hi,
I associate a multi-level contextMenu to a control by using contextMenuStrip. I associates right-click events
for each toolStripMenuItem, so there are many events registered
and it seems quite rather inefficiency. Are there any methods
similiar to the Toolbar that only one single click event is needed
for all buttons in the toolbar ?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have a regex object with "([A-Za-z0-9ığçöşüİĞÇÖŞÜ]{1})([A-Za-z0-9\sığçöşüİĞÇÖŞÜ])*$".. The pattern I want to implement is beginning with a letter/digit and continue with letter/digit/whitespace
But this pattern matches with something like 'a
Why is that and what can I do to correct my pattern..
Best regards!
PS: is there a way to make the input NOT contain two or more consecutive whitespaces ?

You have forgotten the ^ to match the beginning of the text.
