Disable Group Tree in ActiveX Viewer

Post Author: gouldjw
CA Forum: Administration
When displaying reports from Crystal Report Server, I need to set a global setting to disable the group tree. This used to be a simple checkbox in Crystal Enterprise, but I can't find the setting in XI R2 anymore. Is there an easy way to turn off group trees server-wide? For that matter, I'd like to also disable the Refresh button, too.

Are you using the CR4VS2010 beta? If so check the readme and change your subject line then search.

Hide the 'group tree' in crystal reports 2008

Hey Guys,
Please help me out.
I need to hide the group tree which automatically shoots on the crystal report after execution.
This is what i need to see. Only the report data (After report execution) i do not need to see the group tree under the tab 'main report' which appears on the left had side of the report.
I know that in the previous version there was an option which would hide the group tree option under File>Report Option> uncheck Group tree.
But there is no option here in CR 2008.
Is there a code i need to insert somewhere in the report??

Harvino

Hi Chinmay,
Thanks for your quick reply, I was late on the reply because I had a load of other things to do. Sorry for that....
I am aware that we can click the toggle panel to remove the group tree.
But a user wants to hide the group tree on 1st run,,,, that is causing the problem.....
I cant seem to find an option we can disable group tree for the user, so that he may not view the group tree..

Resizing the group tree width

Hi,
I was wondering , if there is a way to re-size the width for the group tree in DHTML viewer . When a report is rendered, and if it has a group , then there is a pan that's shown in the left side of the report . Is there a way to set the width of it like a parameter file or SDK , to make it 5% or some width that I want , rather than the default.
Thanks in advance .

Take a look at the setToolPanelWidth and setToolPanelWidthUnit methods from the CrystalReportViewer class.

Group tree does not always render data in ActiveX viewer

We are using Crystal XI R2 and the RDC/ASP interface to render reports in the ActiveX viewer. The web server is a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit machine.
Yes, I know it is not supported but I was hoping someone may have a workaround.
We got the ActiveX viewer to render by making the noted fix to rptserver.asp but the problem we are now facing is that on certain reports, the group tree pane will not render all the data properly and comes up blank. The main report pane is no problem and displays the data fine. The problem seems to be related to the amount of data that the group tree pane is displaying and some reports will render it properly whereas others will not.
Anyone seen a similar problem before and have any clues as to how to correct it?

Does it work on WIN 2003 server?

If as a test if you filter the data so there is less of it, does the group tree pane appear on these reports?
Make sure the 'DisplayGroupTree' property is not set to False.

ActiveX Viewer: Preventing Group Tree from displaying

We use URL reporting to bring the reports up in the ActiveX Viewer. With BO XI R2 the viewer always displays the group tree section even when the report is set to not generate the group tree. And of course we get lots of question on why this part is just displaying as a white section. This was not an issue in CE10 and we wonder how we can control this behaviour in the ActiveX Viewer.

Stig

Remove group tree and parameter button from crystal view in iView

Hi
I have a crystal report which renders in an iView on the SAP portal. When a user views the report, in the viewer I see the group tree button and the parameter button. Is there a way to disable the group tree button and parameter button ?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Udi,
I have a page within it I have a Composite view (SearchPage) and an iview (MyIview1). I have passed a URL to the iview (MyIview1).
In searchpage i have a variable @Address which is selected from a dropdown box. On click of a button i need to pass the variable @Address to the iview (MyIview1). which should be appended to the URL that i pass to MyIview1.
If i use URL action it opens as popup, and shows the desired result. But, I want it to open within the iview (myiview1).
Please let me know how else do i pass the variable from composite view to the url iview within the same page as ="www.abcd.com?address="&@Address does not open the url in the iview.
Thanks and Regards... Vibha

Having issues viewing interactive parameters and group tree in Visual Studio 2013 design view.

Hey Guys,
I'm a web developer (front end and back end, kind of a one man army sort of deal) and my current employer wishes to use crystal reports to display the results of the online survey apps/tools I have been working on for the last few months. However, I have been having trouble getting the reports to render in browser, and a lot of the ui components of the browser based report viewer (the interactive parameters and group tree) will not render properly in the design view of visual studio (ive attached a screen cap of what I'm talking about) or in the browser itself.
I am new to crystal reports and its community and if I am leaving out any critical details or have posted in the incorrect section please inform me and I will make changes as necessary.
Additional info:
Visual studio version: 2013 professional (trial)
Plugin version (exe file name): CRforVS_13_0_9.exe (I also installed the 64 bit run-time from this)
Server and OS versions: IIS 7.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-Mike

Hi Mike
First thing you want to do is uninstall CRVS SP 9 and install CRVS SP 10. SP 10 is the first SP to support VS 2013.
Once that is done, let us know if that helped any.

Group Tree issue when refreshing- Crystal for Visual Studio 2010 WPF Viewer

Hello,
We've run into an issue when refreshing reports with the WPF viewer for Visual Studio 2010. After the report is refreshed, the Group Tree is blank and it should have values. For example, you run a report and see values in the Group Tree. If you refresh the report with the same parameter values the Group Tree is blank.
Has anyone run into this yet?
Thanks,
Tyler

That is correct.
I just did a quick test and was not able to reproduce the issue.
Details of test:
1) Create a new app;
File | New | Project
Visual Basic | reporting -> Crystal Reports WPF Application
2) Add the "Open File" button to the viewer (ShowOpenFileButton off of the WPF viewer properties)
3) Run app
4) Browse to a report that has a number of groups >250
5) Refresh report using the Refresh button on the viewer
I'll work on this a bit later today, see if I can repro it another way. Meanwhile, can you provide mode details (code) on how you repro the issue?

Hiding report title in Group Tree View Pane

In a .rpt file, if I provide a Group Field, it is displayed in the "Group Tree View" when I preview the report.
The Group Tree View pane also contains the name of the report - actually the title. Is there a way that I can choose not to show report title on this pane?
Here is my requirement:
I'm localizing the report file and that includes localizing group names too. I've also localized the report title by using a formula and displaying the formula in the report header. But this pane - Group Tree View - uses report title from "Special Fields", which I'm not able to modify. So I'm always getting the non-localized report title displayed on this pane, which I want to avaid somehow.
If I remove report title from the report properties, this pane shows report file name instead, which again i do not want to be displayed.
Rgds,
Chris

After removing the report title from the report properties try to place a space " " in the report title field in summaryinfo so that a blank space is shown in the group tree.

Raghavendra

Group tree button disabled

I have a report that previously used to include a "group tree". Later versions of the report the group tree is gone and the group tree button has been disabled. I've checked "report options" and "options" to make sure the the the "group tree" options and show group tree options have been enabled, but I still can't seem to get the group tree to come back on the report.

Hi
For further investigation we need the CR version.
What is the exact Crystal Report Version yo uare using at your end?

Group Tree displays a single character in Viewer.

Grouping on a formula for sorting purposesIf {?getResultSet - Parameter 8 (String)} = "SupplierName" then {getResultSet.SOSupplierName} else ...Group tree will display the supplier names when run in the designer eg. "ATT", "Bellsouth", "BizConnect", "Cingular", etc.In Viewer at runtime, it displays "A", "B", "B", "C" for the suppliers listed above, rather than their names.Can't find any other instances of this issue on Businessobjects.com, or through a google search.

Not to argue with Brian, but the Supported Platforms still contains IE 8 as being supported.
You do not mention the service pack you are using or if you can reproduce the issue on your test environment(?).

Crystal Report Viewer 13.0.2000 Group Tree does not properly display in IE8

We migrated from crystal reports 10.x.x to Crystal Reports 13.0.2000.
The group tree when rendered in IE8 shows the group icon in the middle.
See the attached picture.
However, the display is good in Google Chrome and IE11.
Since we already have a customer base using IE8, need a fix to resolve the IE8 issue.

Remove show/hide group tree at inforview for cystal report

Hi there!
I have 2 copies of Inforview install on 2 computers.
The first one, is my local comp. The display of cyrstal report at dynamic viewer is ok.
However on my second comp. The viewer will default to show the group tree stucture. I have tried to set the configuration at web.config. But it is still displaying the group tree structure.
Anyone could assist me?
Thanks and Regards,
Joni

I have tried disabling the option "Show Preview Panel" (according to a screenshot I found, this option replaced the old "Create Group Tree" option) in Report Options, and that effectively eliminates the content of the group tree, however, the group tree panel still comes up and shows empty until it is hidden using the toolbar.
This is really annoying and I can't find any solution for it on the web. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Joerg.

Main Reports' Group Tree doesn't retain last record selected

In Crystal 2008 Viewer, when you click one of the last tree nodes on a long Group Tree, the program jumps to that part of the report for that group. But when you return to the Main report tab the Group Tree pane returns to the top.
According to my users, previous Crystal versions used to outline the previously selected tree node and keep that section in the left pane, so the user could see where they just were.
This partially works in the Crystal 2008 Developer version. If I preview the report and drill down with the group tree, the Preview tab's group tree pane stays in place. I do not, however, have any outline or indication of what group was just selected.
I found this in the help text: "For longer reports or reports in which you wish to jump back and forth between different groups, the smart navigation features of the Group Tree make your work extremely efficient." For the users to jump back and forth efficiently they need the Main Reports' group tree to remember the general location from which they came (at a minimum) AND/OR the previously drilled record also be highlighted/outlined (at best).

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:
