C++ section formats in binaries

Hello,
I've been searching all over for information about the format of several of the non-standard ELF sections generated by the C++ compiler, such as .ex_shared, .exception_ranges, etc., but am finding nothing.
Is the format of these sections proprietary? If so, is it possible to sign a non-disclosure and get access to them?
Or can someone point me to the public docs?
Sorry if this was the wrong forum to post this to.
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you tried docs.sun.com?
When I typed in .ex_shared and .exception_ranges, it did give me something back.

Section formatting

Hello,
i have a problem with section formatting.
When i:
a) put boxes or subreports inside two adjacent sections,
b) set X and Y of it's size position to 0 and
c) adjust it to match height and width of a section
sometimes line between two sections are wider then they suppose to be and sometimes they are right.
Is there any rule regarding this cases?
thanks in advance

hi,
try going to the File menu, Options, Layout tab. ensure that the Grid Size is the lowest possible...0.083 inches.
unfortunately cr never remembers this setting so you have to do this each time.
this should allow you to nudge everything so they line up better.
cheers,

Can't change section format properties in codebehind

I have the following code in my aspx page:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument cryRpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
cryRpt.Load(path1);
ReportClientDocumentWrapper docWrap = (ReportClientDocumentWrapper)cryRpt.ReportClientDocument;
AddReportDetailsSection(docWrap, detailsA.Width, detailsA.Height, "detailsC");
var detailsC = docWrap.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.DetailArea.Sections[2];
if (detailsC != null)
      detailsC.Format.EnableNewPageAfter = true;
      detailsC.Format.PageOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;
      docWrap.SubreportController.ImportSubreport("1sub", path2, detailsC);
var subReports = docWrap.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetReportObjectsByKind(CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindSubreport);
foreach (var subReport in subReports) {
           var iSubReport = subReport as ISCRSubreportObject;
            iSubReport.Border.BottomLineStyle = iSubReport.Border.RightLineStyle
            = iSubReport.Border.TopLineStyle = iSubReport.Border.LeftLineStyle = CrLineStyleEnum.crLineStyleNoLine;
cryRpt.SaveAs(path2);
But when I open saved report via SAP Crystal Reports Developer, i see that subreport was added with borders and details section C formatting wasn't changed. Can somebody tell me, what I'm missing?

HI,
thank you for reply. My CR version is 13.0.2000, VS 2010.
I've found some workaround.
To get report objects i've written such method:
protected static List<T> GetReportObjects<T>(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument report) where T
                                                                                        : class
            List<T> resList = new List<T>();
            IEnumerator re = report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects.GetEnumerator();
            re.Reset();
            while (re.MoveNext())
                if (re.Current != null)
                    var obj = re.Current as T;
                    if (obj != null)
                        resList.Add(obj);
            return resList;
And then I use it like below:
var subRptObj = GetReportObjects<CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject>(rptDoc).Where(s => s.Name.Equals("1sub")).SingleOrDefault();
if (subRptObj != null)
   subRptObj.Border.BottomLineStyle = LineStyle.DotLine;
Maybe, this will help somebody.

Section format event - Report Designer Component for Crsyatll 11

Hi,
I have been trying to find some sample code for Visual C++ using MFC to try and hook into the format event when a section of the rpt gets rendered. I have looked through all the samples and have not really been able to find anything conclusive.
I basically just need adjust the width and height of the OLE object. If anyone could point me in the right direction or provide some sample code that would be most helpful. Just something how to use an event sink for example?
Thanks in advance, Dene.
PS this might not be in the right forum, there is a bewildering number to choose from for a new comer.

Hello Dene,
please find some [RDC C++ samples for event handling|ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/CPP_code_samples_events_thread_999932.zip].

Table of Contents Section Formatting Issues

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening in the Table of Contents? It seems that if I have more than 10 sections in a chapter that it pushes the info to the right side of the text box.
In section 10.10 all my text (for the title) is formatted to the left, and I can't figure out why the TOC is displaying it like this... pretty annoying...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Andrew

First off, thanks for the book K T, it's a great edition to my learning how to use iBooks Author, but it was no help. After playing around and becoming quite frustrated I started digging around in the the TOC I've figured out how to format the TOC a cross the entire book - getting rid of the formatting issue awonacott is experiencing. I too am (was) experiencing that TOC formatting issue. Here's what I did to rectify it:
1: Go into your TOC.
2. Go into any Section heading list and double click, then change the TOC to TOC Heading 1, 2, or 3.
For some reason the default TOC gets all wonky when you try to insert a section into an already created chapter. I was having this funny formatting happen to all sections of the iBook I'm creating, not just beyond the 10th section.
I refused to just deal with this crazy formatting, as I believe you should be able to add as many sections as you please without having to trim it down to fit within a 10 sections.
Anyways I hope this helps.
Semper Fidelis,
Tomas

Is Section Formatting Conditional on which Section Appears Next possible?

How can I make the formatting of a section conditional on if the next section that appears is from the same or the next level group?
I have a footer from group 2. I want to add a page break after the footer IF the next section is not group 3's footer. Is that possible?
I tried using Section Expert > Paging tab > selected "New Page After"...but I just dont know what formula to put in the Format Formula Editor. Any suggestions?

I would think that you can use the NextValue() function to determine if you are at the end of Group 3, and if so, do the page break.
HTH,
Carl

Table Sections Formatting in PDF

Hi,
When we export a table with many sections in it, the PDF actually cuts the sections when it cannot print the whole section data in one page.
For example: I get the Section Headers at the end of the first page and the data in the second page.
Is there a way to tell OBIEE that when a section cannot fit in one page then to start it in the second.
Bottom line, I do not want one section to be cut into multiple pages.

Hi Vj,
Do you have any screen shot with the desired output to share?
Thanks,

Crystal 2011 RAS. Section Expert Paging tab properties does not correspond to EnableNewPageAfter, EnableNewPageBefore properties in section format

Hello,
We have application where you can select fields, select groupings and properties (for example disable page grouping ) and create custom report.
It worked with crystal 9.
Now we are converting to Crystal 2011 and I have the following problem:
I create report dynamically and set group footer EnableNewPageAfter property to false in group footer section.
When report is created , I open it and see that New Page After property in section expert is unchecked.
When I run the report, I have page break after each group - which is wrong.
If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report, open report again, uncheck New Page After Property, save and exit,And than run the report again,
My report behaves correctly:does not break after each group.
If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report and then load this report in code and look at EnableNewPageAfter property,
the property is still false - but it should be true
Do I use the wrong property?
What is the right RAS property to set Crystal report 'New Page After' Property in the code for group footer/group header?
Below is method that sets properties for section.
All properties from common tab works, but paging tab properties does not work
public static void SetSectionSettings( ReportSectionController reportSectionController, Section section, Color backgroundColor, bool enableKeepTogether, bool enableNewPageAfter,
                                            bool enableNewPageBefore, bool enablePrintAtBottomOfPage, bool enableResetPageNumberAfter, bool enableSuppress, bool enableSuppressIfBlank,
                                            bool enableUnderlaySection, bool autoFitSection )
            try
                SectionFormat sectionFormat = new SectionFormat();
                sectionFormat.EnableKeepTogether = enableKeepTogether;
                sectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = enableNewPageAfter;
                sectionFormat.EnableNewPageBefore = enableNewPageBefore;
                sectionFormat.EnablePrintAtBottomOfPage = enablePrintAtBottomOfPage;
                sectionFormat.EnableResetPageNumberAfter = enableResetPageNumberAfter;
                sectionFormat.EnableSuppress = enableSuppress;
                sectionFormat.EnableSuppressIfBlank = enableSuppressIfBlank;
                sectionFormat.EnableUnderlaySection = enableUnderlaySection;
                sectionFormat.BackgroundColor = uint.Parse( ColorTranslator.ToWin32( backgroundColor ).ToString() );
                reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
            catch ( Exception ex )
                log.Error( "ReportApplicationBuilder error - SetSectionSettings: ", ex );
                throw;
Thanks,
Julia Klubis

Hi Julia,
There have been a few escalations of this type. For some odd reason you have to call the .Set 2 times...
reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
See if that works?

Header Section Formatting

Hello All,
Is it possible to have the header section printed on the same page as the main section.
What I want is to have the header information on the first page only but I want the details of the report (the main section) to start printing directly below.
Thank you for you responses.
Paul Howells

I have added heading text to my main section but despite the fact that it is before any frames and the Print Object On property is "First Page" it gets printed at the
top of every page. How can I get it to appear at the top of the first page only?
TIA
Simon

Dashboard/Section Format

Hi Guys,
I have a dashboard and have 3 differerent section with in that dashboard..when i look in the dashboard I see a space between the sections Data...I want to minimise the space between the sections data/tables.
Can Some one suggest me how to do this...
Thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, you are not happy with the default layout (Styling) of the OBIEE dashboard and you wish to modify the way it presents the sections on the dashboard. The section are defined from the base design of OBIEE, even if you conduct some very basic styling and skinning the default gap will exist between the sections on the dashboard. This is by design.
Since you are just looking for a suggestion...
The way to achieve what you seek is to modify the CSS (Cascading StyleSheet) used for that particular design element of the dashboard.
That is the right answer.
How you get there takes a lot of trivial investigation. This is where it is helpful if you have a resource on your team that knows HTML/CSS/DHTML, etc. If you right-click the dashboard in your web browser and "View Source" you may be able to find the specific class or html that is creating the gap. From there you could GREP on some HTML syntax through the OBIEE web/ folder structure and widdle down where you need to make your mod.
From here you need the skills I mentioned above.
Cheers,
Christian

Format on HTML report different than on PDF view

I have a Quote report based on Product Revenue that we send to our customers. I have it formatted nicely when initially displayed and also when viewed with the Printer Friendly HTML option. But... when I view it as a PDF, it is not even close.
The layout of the report uses a narrative section with HTML formatting to get the elements to align correctly, per the documentation. The HTML I use is as follows:
Narrative Section formatting code:
<table width="600">
<tr><td colspan=3> <div align="center"><b><font size="5" face="Times">
@10</font><br>
<font size="4" face="Times" > Prepared Exclusively For: @8</font></b>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr> <th width="250"><div align="left">Quote Details</div></th> <th width="50"> </th><th width="300"><div align="left">Sales Manager Info:</div></th></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote ID: @9</td><td> </td><td>Name: @16</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote Date: @15</td><td> </td><td>Email: @17</td>
<tr><td>Quote Expiration: @14</td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=3><div align="center"><b>Phones - Cell:</b> @18, <b>Work:</b> @20, <b>Fax: </b> @19 </div></td></tr>
</table>
Notes: @11Is there another way to get the HTML view and PDF view to look the same (or at least close)?
(more details and examples here --> [HTML and PDF Views|http://crm.nurserysupplies.com/images/CRM_HTML_and_PDF_views.doc])

To date, this is considered a product limitation. I just talked with an escalation manager regarding this very issue, and he offered to bring this up with the product managers/engineers on 5/15/09. I recommend escalating this issue and asking your escalation manager to do the same.
We are trying to create a customer contract based on Opportunity information.
The best way to accomplish what you are trying to do is: Click Printer Friendly > Click HTML > Click on File - Print in browser window > Either print to PDF using a pdf printer from adobe or the cutepdf or print a hard copy.

Problem with Header Section in BusinessObjects 6.5 (2)

I am using BusinessObjects 6.5 (2). I created a Report and it includes the Min Section. The Main section has 3 parts; H, S F.
I have 4 questions:
1) Why the height of the header is different in different pages?
2) I also inserted a table in the header, and the vertical spacing between the bottom of the table and the Main Section is different in different pages. In the first page the table is farther to the Main Section, and in the other pages the vertical space between the table in the header and the Main Section is closer.
3) How do I manipulate the height of each Section H, S, F
4) When I change the background of the Main Section Header(H) it is only changed in the first page(Section Format, Background Color).

Cross Tab Size and Formatting

Good Day To All,
I have 3 Cross tab that fit perfectly on one page, but when it was created the user used an incorrect field as its columns.
When I change the column field to the correct field the Cross-Tab increases in size shifting the last cross tab to another page.
How can I keep the original size. I've tried To lock position and size but that does not work. I also tried using format painter but that only works on fonts size. I am unable to re-size the cross tab in design mode. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
David

hi David,
unfortunately there are no properties in a cross-tab to keep it the same overall width if the number of column instances changes. the Size and Position dialogues for Width and Horizontal Position (X) also do not apply to cross-tabs.
the only thing that you can do is to decrease the width of the column cell and if the output no longer fits in the width of the cell then you'll also need to decrease the font size.
there is another workaround by limiting the number of records returned to a group. please see my blog post here in particular the section "Formatting a Cross-tab to Have N Rows & M Columns". this is not an easy task either as the data coming in must be a precise match for the number of rows X the number columns that are required. this is explained further in the blog.

Remove Multi columns in Detail Section

I'm converting reports from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 2008. My old report has a detail section with multiple columns, and I want to remove this formatting. The check box in the section format window is grey and can't be changed. What is the magic combination to get the detail section back to no columns?

I'm struggling with the same problem, only I'm currently working with a report in version 8.5. The report was originally designed years ago using the Label wizard, but now the client wants to change it to a regular report.
I decided to "peek under the hood" and this is what I found:
The Crystal Report Object has a property "Kind" which will have a value corresponding to the application constant CRReportKind. The possible values are these: 1 (crColumnarReport), 2 (crLabelReport), or 3 (crMulColumnReport). Versions 8.5 and 10 are the same. I'm thinking that this property is what's preventing us from getting to that grayed-out checkbox. However, it is a read-only property, meaning, obviously, that you can't change it.
The report I'm working with is a 2 (crLabelReport). This is the VB6 code I used to find that:
Dim reportname As String
Dim oApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim oKind As CRAXDRT.CRReportKind
Dim oRpt As CRAXDRT.Report
Dim oSection As CRAXDRT.Section
Set oApp = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
reportname = "(put the complete path and filename of the report here)"
Set oRpt = oApp.OpenReport(reportname, 1)
Debug.Print oRpt.Kind
Set oRpt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
It doesn't look promising. You will probably have to redo the report, or, it may be possible to recreate the report in VB only setting the Kind property to 1. If someone else can verify that this is doable, it may be the best solution.
