Dashboard in Win Form

Hi,
I want to embed the dashboard (.swf) file created using Xcelsius Engage 2008 into a .net winforms application.
Is it possible? If yes please help me.
Regards,
Neel.

Hi Neel,
There is a Shockwave ActiveX COM component to show swf files on win forms in .NET, I think that will cater your requirement.
Thanks

Group Tree issue, web form vs Win form?

Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010...
I am using the same report file for a Win form and web form version of the same utility program. The report was built bases on a view to the database, and both programs populate the report based on a dataset which has the same columns with restrictive where clauses, based on user input prior to populating the report.
On the Win Form version, when the user clicks a group on the Group Tree, the report nicely navigates to the appropriate section of the report. However... on the Web version, the ReportViewer makes a return trip to the database, refreshing the data with the entire view, overwriting the original content. In other words, out of lets say 50,000 possible records, if I ask for 50, they are displayed as I want, but in the web report, if I try and navigate to any of the 50, I get all 50,000 (an no navigation), an unwanted return to the database.
I am perplexed, as it is the same report file used by both versions.
I tried hiding the Group Tree panel (I don't need it), per instructions (CrystalReportViewer1.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.None;)
But that only closes the panel, and it is still available to the user to open (icon remaining). Is it possible to really make the Group Tree unavailable?
thanks,
Mark

Ludek,
What I wish to do is follow the instructions for placing the report in a session, per your suggestions above:
     Place the report in session. See
     KBA 1985571 - How to use sessions in web applications using the Crystal Reports viewer (the complete code)
OK, since I'm new at this, where does the code go? I can't seem to resolve RAPPBasePage, and I admit that without more specific directions on the linked page, I'm more than a bit lost with this.
Thanks,
Mark
Below is a complete code that describes how to ensure the report is in
session:
public partial class Reports : RAPPBasePage
      private ReportDocument crReportDocument;
      protected override void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
           //connect method to master event
           base.Page_Init(sender, e);

Not a dashboard to add forms in manager business catalyst

i don't understand: Icreated a muse site and send it on adobe business catalyst to test. When i go on my dashboard on creative.adobe I can see my site but whenI open the admin of this site i can't add form of apps or widgets . I can do that with site created directly with adobe catalyst.

I watch tuto, i add a template page with a tag_pagecontent, and publish from muse ...but it's always the same ,i am on a test period... i try a lot ... thanks for help !!!

How to clear the reader control when displayed on a Win Form?

Hello
I am using the reader control to display a pdf using VB.NET 2008 on Windows XP / Win 7. The pdf is realted to a record displayed in a grid. The problem I am having is I can not find a way to clear the document.
The grid is filtered and can be changed by the user. When the filter changes the reader control has no file to reference, but I can not find a "clear" function. When the form loads the reader control is nicely blank but I can not revert to that state. I created a blank pdf but that is confusing because the toolbar remains. So what now? Hide that? Then hide the scrollbars and hope more quirky things don't happen.
Is there a way to have an empty reader control (like it exists when the form loads) without destroying and re-creating the control every time?
Thanks
JM

Hi Derek,
I would suggest you check out a piece of freeware called 'CCLEANER' from the following link :_
http://www.ccleaner.com/
I use this myself on a regular basis to clear out unwanted bits and pieces from my system including internet cookies which I do not want.
Be careful though, it can sometimes clean more than expected. :)

Win Forms app Main(args) being bypassed.

I have a winforms app that is being placed in an I frame of a web application. When I open the winforms
app via command line on my local system by clicking the .exe file or by program shortcut it works fine. When it launches on the web(in a web app that I have no control over the code and did not create the application) it seems to skip Main in my program.cs
file. In fact it doesn't seam to hit the program.cs code at all. I can get other parts of the application that are dependent dll libaries to show the message boxes fine. Anyone know what could be causing this issue.
Note: There is no asp.net involved here!

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

Calling Console App from Win Interface

Need to call a console app[long running process] from a windows interface, such that
1. The interface remains active after calling the console app
2. So that I am able to fire another call via interface to the console app
3. And these two would run concurrently
Some googling around gave me certain solutions... will try today .
1. From Win Forms Interface , I call my console app with this code
[Link]
ProcessStartInfo oStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
oStartInfo.FileName = ApplicationName;
oStartInfo.Arguments = BaseOptions + MyLoopLoadedItemsHere;
Process.Start(oStartInfo)
2. Use the background worker class in the interface component and then call the console app.
3. Or Any thing else ?
However feedback required on whats the best approach according to you

You are on the right track. However you don't need to use a background worker class in this particular case. The line "Process.Start(oStartInfo)" returns immediately and the process will run in parallel to yours.

RegisterHotKey(....) to disable hotkeys such as ALT+F4 is not working in C# Web Browser control

Disabling hot keys like "ALT+F4" using register RegisterHotKey(..) function and wndproc(..) function in c# windows application is not working as expected in few cases. Below is the description.
I am using C# Web Browser control in windows application to display Web Pages. We are disabling hot keys like ALT+F4 by calling the method RegisterHotKey(..) and capture the hot key message in Wndproc(..) function. Initially This is working as expected
normally.
But as part of new requirement, we need to set the "title of Web browser page" to its parent class(Win form) text property. when we are assigning text property of winform using below code, the hot keys could not be disabled.
this.Text = webBrowserCustom.DocumentTitle; //this keyword refers to WinForm which loads web browser control
If webBrowserCustom.DocumentTitle is empty then this.text is set to Empty string. In such case the hot keys are not getting disabled.
I am not sure what is the relation between text property of winform and hot keys disabling.
Could you please let us know why hot keys are not getting disabled when we setting empty string to Winform(which is loading Web Browser control) text property.?

Hi,
How did you use RegisterHotKey and winproc function in your project, could you please post the code here so that we can reproduce the problem firstly?
If you just want to prevent the user from closing the form, you could register Form_Closing event handler, and cancel the closing behavior by the user.
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
e.Cancel = (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing);
private void btnCloseForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.FormClosing -= new System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventHandler(this.Form1_FormClosing);
this.Close();

Passing Parameter to Crystal Report

Hi Experts,
I have created and designed a Report in Crystal Report 2005. I am displaying the report in SAP B1 using Win Form . Here I want to pass 2 parameters to Report ---@FromDate and @ToDate . I have coded to pass these two parameters this way :
Dim RptDoc As New ReportDocument
        Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty
        Dim crtableLogoninfos As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfos
        Dim crtableLogoninfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
        Dim crConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo
        Dim CrTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables
        Dim CrTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        Try
            RptDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath() & "\" & ReportName & ".rpt")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@FromDate", "01/01/2008")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@ToDate", "12/31/2008")
            Dim oForm_ReportViewer As Frm_ReportViewer = New Frm_ReportViewer()
            oForm_ReportViewer.CRViewer.ReportSource = RptDoc
            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = oCompany.Server '"(local)"
                .DatabaseName = oCompany.CompanyDB '"SBODemoIn"
                .UserID = oCompany.DbUserName
                .Password = "manager@123" 'oCompany.DbPassword
             End With
             CrTables = RptDoc.Database.Tables
            'Loop through each table in the report and apply the
            'LogonInfo information
            For Each CrTable In CrTables
                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
            Next
           oForm_ReportViewer.Text = frmTitle
            oForm_ReportViewer.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
            oForm_ReportViewer.ShowDialog()
        Catch Ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(Ex.ToString)
        End Try
But When I view the report in B1 , it throws an Exception "Report or Procedure expects parameter @FromDate which is not    supplied. "
Please help me where I am making mistake , what could be the cause of this exception..
Thanks and Regards,
Pooja Singh.

Hi Pooja Singh,
You have only set Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty. Where are two parameter @FromDate and @ToDate?
SetParameterValue will only work if you have defined the parameters already and the parameters have the right format.

Change crystal report data source dynamically failed with multi tables report

hello all
i have many reports created by someone else on his own machine using same database file i use
my application use Visual studio 2013 win form with crystal report pack 9
i use rpt files provided to me
connect database use OLEDB
to show form i use below code
SQLstr = " select what ever from table "                      ' defined as Public
reportName = rpt file path & report name
showReport()
public sub showReport()
reportTable.clear()                                                       ' defined as Public
DBAdapter = new oleDpdataAdapter(SQLstr,DBconnection)
DBAdapter.fill(reportTable)
dim rptDoc as new Crystaldesicin.crystalreports.Engine.ReportDocument
rptDoc.load(reportName)
rptDoc.setdatasource(reportTable)
formRpt.RptViewer.reportsource = rptDoc
formRpt.showdialog()
now
when i use one table report with (select from one table) >>>>> works perfectly
but when i use report retrieve data from 2 tables and group   data like using
SQLstr = " select 'table'.'coulumn', 'table2'.'column' ....... etc
from 'table1'
INNER JOIN 'table2' ON 'table'.'coulumn' = 'table2'.'column'
it's not working and formrpt shown but asking for database login
I noted that in database login window : server name refer to ORIGINAL DATABASE USED BY Report Creator not to my local database
================================================
i tried to set
rptDoc.datasourceconnection.item(0).setconnection("","databse file path and name", False)
rptDoc.datasourceconnection.item(0).setlogin("admin","")
but the same
using dataset instead of reportTable the same error
================================================
what i missed in this type of reports?
( apologize about long take and poor English )

How to print a report in landscape?

Hi,
I am using crystal report for visual studio 2010 and I buid a win form test application in c#. I add a crystalReportViewer1, and reportDocument1(unTyped) on the form. In the design time the report (.rpt) is in portrait paper orientation. I want to change the paper orientation to landscape at the runtime. The code snippet is as followed,
reportDocument1.FileName = @"D:\DotNet Execises\CrystalReportsApplication\CrystalReportsApplication\CrystalReport1.rpt";
reportDocument1.Load(reportDocument1.FileName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument1;
reportDocument1.PrintOptions.PrinterName = @"
LINDY\HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL 6";
reportDocument1.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
When I click a button to print the report
        private void btnPrintCrystal_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            crystalReportViewer1.PrintReport();
in the print dialog box the paper orientation is correct,ie. landscape. But the actual printout is still in the portrait. Why? how can I print it in landscape?
Thanks

Open the report up and check on the Dissociate... option or do it in code and also.

               System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
               CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
               pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
            pDoc.PrinterSettings.SupportsColor.ToString();
            if (pDoc.PrinterSettings.SupportsColor)
                MessageBox.Show("Printer Supports Color", pDoc.PrinterSettings.SupportsColor.ToString());
