Image in report header appears in front of underlaying section line objects

Hello
I am trying to simulate a company letter header with company logo in page header. I have added line objects in the underlaying sections so the user can see when the detail data/section ends.
I have inserted an image into a report header
I have set the page header to 'Underlay Following Sections'
when I preview the report, line objects in underlying sections appear behind the page header image
when I preview the report, text objects in underlying sections appear in front of the page header image
Has anybody any ideas or better ways of achieving same results please?
Ta very much.
Keith

text objects are not behaving the same way, as a workaround I have set the top/bottom/left/right border property to single and used these instead of boxes or lines.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your patience while this was being investigated. So the way Crystal Report's layout was designed was that items are put in a stack of multiple objects with the ability to move forward and back as needed. For some technical reason lines and boxes were left out of this which means they will always be in the back. Unfortunately we don't know the technical reasons that this was done as it goes back to some of our earliest versions, we are investigating this though.
The difficulty know is trying to find the reason for this, and determining if this can be changes with out breaking backwards compatibility. In the mean time the developer has suggested a work around and are wondering if this would work for you?
1. Insert a text object and enter nothing.
2. Change the size (the height matches the line width) and background (background color matches the line color).
3. Right click on the text object and select Move | To Front. And then the "line" will be on top of the picture.
Kind Regards,
Trevor

Report Header problem when exporting as Editable RTF

Hey i was advised to post my query to this forum. My query is this Thread My report Header shows underneath my Page Header in Crystal reports 2008 can someone help me please?

hi Demeleo,
i was going through old forum posts and saw this one...did this get resolved?
Hey
I created reports in Visual Studio 2008 with crystal reports basic, i then upgraded to Crystal reports 2008 so i could be able to export them as EditableRTF. My first problem was i could not open my reports in VS 2008 anymore, but i do open them in The CR 2008 IDE. My problem now is when i export my reports my report header appears underneath my page header and my page number stays one. I noticed this happens when i export a report as EditableRTF.How can i Export my report to be editable without having this problems?
using cr 2008 v1 (for cr server) i was not able to reproduce this issue when exporting to RTF.
when exporting to Word, Editable, i can see this issue. mostly because the word export has the cr page header info going into the word page header.
as the word export is essentially an RTF export anyway, i would recommend getting the latest patches / service pack for your cr and the RTF export should be what you're looking for.

Arabic full stop appears in front

Hi I use CS InDesign 6. With world ready paragrapher composer, I can copy and paste Arabic text in CS6. But the full stop always appears in front of the last line. Not at the end. Any idea how to fix it?
It's a pain to use a separate text box and put full stop in the right place manually.

There are a variety of ways to make this work for you. I am assuming that you are using English-language ID and don't even know that there is an entirely separate Middle East Edition that gives you complete typographical control over right-to-left languages. The World-Ready Composer lets the letters of individual words compose correctly, but you need to turn on right-to-left paragraph direction - and there are no controls for same in non-ME editions of InDesign.
So, unless you decide to go out and buy a whole separate license for the ME edition, your options are:
1) Buy a plugin that exposes the RTL type controls. I always recommend World Tools from in-tools.com, because it exposes stuff in the ME edition as well as the CJK edition (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) in generic English InDesign. This is the best price-performance ratio, I think, for money spent to typographical control gained.
2) Use a script or a template that already has those settings for right-to-left paragraph flow activated. If you search Google for "world-ready paragraph composer" you can find a few of those. I don't have a link on hand. They're out there, and they're free, but if you need to do something fancy (hanging indents, kashidas, LTR Arabic numerals for phone numbers and Hindi numerals for everything else, lots of bilingual sentences with frequent direction flow changes, and so on) you probably need either the ME edition or a plugin. You can do it with freely available character styles (or you can write 'em yourself if you know some Javascript) but I have found that to be a time-consuming way to work.
3) But if all you need is one paragraph of legible Arabic... then you can start a new text frame, go to the Type menu, and hold down control and choose "Fill with Placeholder Text" and, instead of getting lorem ipsum, you'll get a dropdown menu that will let you pick fake text in a variety of scripts. If you pick Arabic, you'll get correctly flowing Arabic text with the right paragraph direction applied.

Problem with Append Front Panel Image To Report.vi

I'm using LV 7.0 with the MicroSoft Report Generation toolkit installed. Under the Report Generation palette there exists an Append Front Panel Image To Report vi. Also on the same palette there is an Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi which uses another Append Front Panel Image To Report vi located under the VI Documentation subpalette. Here is the problem; I have serval vi's that use Append Front Panel Image To Report.vi from the Report Generation palette and I have a couple of vi's that use the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi which is linked to the Append Front Panel Image To Report.vi located under the VI Documentation subpalette. Clear as mud!
This creates a conflict of intrest. In a nut shell th
ere are two vi's with the same name in different locations doing different things. I have a program with subvi's that need to call each respective Append Front Panel Image To Report.vi and that just is not working.
Is this a known issue with LV7.0 that has already been addressed and/or resloved?
Thanks.

ATC Herman,
Based on the picture you posted and what you are describing, it looks like you might have an incomplete install. What version of the toolkit do you have? Was it first installed on an earlier version of LabVIEW, or did you install it first on 7.0? Your VI Documentation Palette appears the same as if you hadn�t installed the toolkit. I�ve attached a screenshot of what it should look like. The VI in question is a polymorphic VI, which may be causing some of the confusion. If you right-click on it and select �Open Polymorphic VI�, it will show you what options you have, depending on the input. I opened both test and test1, and they appeared the same for me. I was able to have them both on the block diagram. The path to bo
th of them was C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\vi.lib\printing\ReportDocExtensions.llb\Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi. The .llb ReportDocExtensions has the polymorphic VI, as well as copies of each of the possible instantiations. Make sure you have these VI�s in the .llb in that directory.
There is a KB on having the toolkit on multiple versions of LabVIEW and what files you need. Make sure you have all the files listed.
Please let me know if you are able to get to the bottom of the issue with the above information.
Thanks, and have a happy day!

Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
NT 4.0
I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
Any suggestions?

You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

Append front panel image to report

I am using Labview V6.1 on a Win2000 PC 2.4 Ghz, 512MB RAM.
I am trying to use the append front panel image to report VI to append a VI panel image to a report. I am using notifiers to synch the execution of the VI with the desired front panel an the report generation process. I keep getting an error fron the Append VI that is a 1004 which is VI not in memory. How do I keep a vi in memory? I thought it would stay in memory as it is waiting for a notification from my report section for completion before closing. The notification stuff seems to work properly. Any ideas?

Here is a VI that demonstrates the problem I am having. The other VI is the VI I am trying to append to the report.
Let me know your thoughts. I will be away from this forum starting 8-27 til 9-1.
Let me know your thoughts.
put these files in a c:\P368 folder. or edit my VIs

??????? appears in report heading

Image (Co. Logo) in Template header appears but not in Topic when viewing a topic which is attached to the Template

I have an image (Co. logo) placed in the header of a
template. Topics are attached to the template. I also have a
separate page that has hyperlinks to the the Topics in the several
books I have in the project.
When I generate (WebHelp) project and view the output, here
is what I see:
If I open any topic by directly going to a book and then
clicking on the topic, then I see the Co. Logo/image it is supposed
to be pulling from the Template. However, if I view the same Topic
by accessing it from a navigation page in which all the Topics are
hyperlinked then the top header does not show.
I am bit preplexed with these two separate displays of the
same topic. One showing the image in the header and the other not.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Only you will know for sure what you are dealing with, but I do not see the same complete url code in the header of the page you say has a problem. I only see the page filename linked (not http:///www..., just home.html). It may be a case of those pages not using the same template.

Image resolution report generation

Hello,
I am using the vis on the report generation palette in labview 7.1 to
produce an html report that includes images from intensity graphs on
the front panel.
I create a control reference to the intensity graph and then wire the
control reference to "append control image to report.vi" with the image
type set to jpg. The report contains a low resolution (appears to be 8
bit) image. Is there a way to have 24 bits true color images included
in the report instead.
Thank you
Jean-Michel Maarek

Hi Jean-Michel,
You can open the Append Control Image to Report.vi and go to the "HTML" case of the case structure and change the constant value wired to the "Image Depth" parameter of the Get Image method from '8' to '24'. I plan on adding this as an input to the VI in a future LabVIEW version.

Image in Page Header set to Underlay Following Section overwrite IBoxObect

Hi There
Using Crystal Reports as shipped with VS2008.
In the Report Header Section I have an image. I've checked the 'Underlay following Sections' so it appears as a watermark (Back ground) image.
All is fine except that it overwrites my borders on ILineObjects and IBoxObjects specified in the Details Section. Data still comes out fine.
The issue can be reproduced very easily.
1. Create a new report
2. In the Report Header Section add an image
3. check the 'Underlay following Sections' for the Report Header Section
4. In the Details section hook to a datasource and add a field
5. Draw a box around the field
6. Run the report and the data will appear but the box will be overwritten by the image
Hope you can help us on this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Bug in Append Control Image to Report in 8.5?

I am now at an end with this. I seem to have some sort of problem when using the Append Control Image to Report. I have a program that creates two reports. One is a condensed version, the other detailed. Both reports contain JPG images of some front panel displays. For the most part it seems to work except what ever it is doing appears very unstable. The problem seems to center around me trying to include a Multicoulmn Listbox. I create a Reference of it and then run that to my Append Control Image, just like any other image I want to include. If I probe the Reference, it appears to be correct, i.e. the name, etc. all seem right. However, what the image that gets included is a whole different graphic. Some times I will get the listbox, other times nothing at all. If I look in the directory and bring up the images, indeed, if it prints the wrong graphics, it also has created two of the ne that it includes.
Running the same program unmodifed seems to do the same thing, i.e. it always will print the wrong graphic. As I have tried different things to try and skirt the problem, I get different effects.
I have seen the same problem with other graphics as well, not just the listbox, but I can't come up with any hint as to why it does what it does.

I have dug into this a little further and it appears this bug has to do with creating two reports at the same time. If I only generate a single report, everything works flawless.
I placed the sections of the code that append data to the reports into a sequence so they would not happen at the same time. This seemed to have some effect, but the reports were still incorrect.
Is LabView just not able to create two reports within a single progeam?
I can work around this by creating just the detailed report for now, but it would sure be nice if there were a way to make it work.

When closing Firefox 23 with the taskbar, the dialog wndow is obscured behind it and I can't select close unless I keep clicking and it appears in front. Fix?

Got Firefox 23 forced on me while doing reinstall. First off the icon on desktop and start menu shows a white box around the Firefox icon, this by design?
Also When i click to close Firefox using the taskbar tab it partially hides behind the taskbar and I am unable to click it. Sometimes it appears in front as all the other programs do/should but rarely. V22 didn't have this problem. Is this also a feature or bug and how can I downgrade to the far superior version 22?

Why can't I insert an image into the header in Pages 5.0.1?

In previouis versions of Pages, I was able to insert an image into a Header or Footer.
This action does not appear an option in Pages 5.0.1.
Am I missing something?
I must say, I do not like the NEW interface. Much has been lost with the transition to the Cloud.
I like the concept of using my iPad Air and my desktop, however functionality has been tossed out for deference to the Tablet.

KT,
Use a "Floating Graphic" and send it to the Section Master in the Arrange > Section Master menu. Floating is called Stays With Page now. Don't worry about it not being in the Header field. It will serve the purpose.

Making some texbox and image invisible from header in the second page and third page only

i have written this expression for the image
=iif(Globals!PageNumber= 1,false,True)
the problem is, it is repeating in every pages, i want it to be displayed in the page one only, when the rdlc report is generated in the report viewer

Hi aki.mary,
According to your description, you added textbox and image to page header, now you want to display them on the first page, on other pages, their visibility is set to false, but the image is visible on every page.
I tried to reproduce the issue in my local machine, but it works fine for me. I set visibility of textbox and image by following steps:
Right-click the image, click Image Properties.
Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression.
Click (fx) button and type the expression: =iif(Globals!PageNumber= 1,false,True).
The following screenshot is for your reference:
In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, please provide detailed information of the report. I would be appreciated it if you could provide steps you created the report and screenshot of the report. By collecting this information now, it will
