Dynamically changing graph types in crystal reports 1

[crystalReporterNew]

Hi,

I have inserted a graph as a bar chart in my crystal report but want it to change into say a pie chart or a line chart depending on certain conditions at run time. Instead of making different crystal reports for that can I make the change in my VB program that sets the graphtype as what I want? I tried looking at the Section.ReportObjects.Item.ObjectFormat functions and stuff like that but nothing allows me to set the graph type in my program...is there anyway to do this?? please please help

The Crystal 9 Chart examples take an interesting approach to this.

Have a section (a,b,c,etc) with a differnet chart type in each section. Conditionally suppress all the other sections except the chart you want.

Should work with any older version of CR.
