Get value of field object when I double click on any column of report

Question

Hi,
We are converting our projects from .NET 2003 to .Net 2008 and upgrading reports10 to crystal reports 2008 and changing our Active x report viewer control  to crystal report viewer.
We donu2019t use reports just to see and print the data. Our use is a bit more.
As we were using Active X Control (CRAXDDRT) to perform different operations
Following are some functions which are included in our requirements:
1-     We need the columns width to be flexible which we can changed in the code dynamically according to the users wish
2-     Setting text of some fields dynamically from .Net code
3-     Hide and show the columns dynamically from .Net code
       Upto here we are done using crystal report 2008 and .net 2008
       Now we are stuck with problem
4-     When we double click on fieldobject at runtime we are able to fetch the value of field object by using e.objectinfo.text.tostring, so far it is perfect
But we have different situation here and need a solution for this
I have two fields like Account ID and Account Description
I need the solution so that when user clicks either on Account ID or Account Description I should be able to fetch the Field object value of Account ID Column only so that i will be able to open different forms and reports based on that ID
As we were doing it before using Active X Control the code snippet is giving below
case "Field: Account. AccountID ", "Field: Account.Description"
GlobalCode = GiveCode(mYFields.Item(1).value) '------ Where 1 refer to Account ID, so in both cases either we click Account ID or Description Field at run time we are able to return the account ID field value.
so we need solution some thing like that please do let us know how we can do that
For Your reference we were using CrystalActivexReportViewerLib10.CRVFields obejct to fectch the report values
Thanx in Advance

Answer 1

Hello,
I am getting value of that cell where I am clicking. But I need the value of other columns also in that particular row where I double clicked. For this I gave one example also that suppose I have a report where there are two columns. One is AccountID and other is AccountDescription. Now if I click on Account ID I get the value of AccountID and when I click on AccountDescription I get the value of AccountDescripiton This is oK n good but I want that If i double click on AccountDescription I should be able to get the value of AccountID also.Please tell me is there anyway to do so?
We did so when we were using CRAXDRT.Report Bellow is the code snippet for how I did it in that.
Dim MyField As CrystalActiveXReportViewerLIb10.CRVFields
Private Function GiveFieldIndex(ByVal As CrystalActiveXReportViewerLib10.CRVFields, ByVal FldName As String) As Integer
For i as integer = 1 To FldArry.Count
    If FldArry.Item(i).name = FldName Then
                GiveFieldIndex = i
      End If
End Function
Private Sub CRViewer1_DoubleClick(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As AxCrystalActiveXReportViewerLib10._ICRViewerEvents_DblClickedEvent) Handles CRViewer1.DblClicked
If MyField.Name = "Field: AdoJV.AccountID" Or MyField.Name = "Field: AdoJV.AccountDesc" Then
/Following line will give us AccountID in anycase either we click on AccountID or Account Desc or even you can add more column by adding Or Operator. We need something like this in Crystal Report 2008/
  Dim GlobeAddEditCode  as String = myFields.Item(GiveFieldIndex(myFields, "Field: AdoJV.AccountID")).Value
End If
End Sub
