How to Set Background Color???

[subendu]

We are using Crystal and JSP to display reports with Crystal Report Viewer. We have a requirement, where we need to show the background color for the report in a different color, other than white, which is default.

How do you set the background color of the report to any other color?

You will need to change the background colour of each of the sections of your report.

Dow this using the section expert in the color tab

Hi,

I am looking for setting the background color for the whole rport, not the sections alone.

The defualt of which is White.

For Visual Basic .NET Crystal, it seems it can be done like:

CrystalReportViewer1.BackColor = Color.White

Is there anything similar to Crystal 9.

You will need to change the background colour of each of the sections of your report.

Try using the section expert in the color tab of the format section of your report
ex: page header, report header, detail, footer and so on

Hi,

I have set the same for all sections, but when I display the report, I get some white portions after the Page Footer.

So, I am looking for option to make the background for the whole report to any other color.

I don't think there is a way to change the background colour of the whole report, but a workaround may be to insert a box that covers the whole of your report and then change the fill colour of this box.

Hi,

Yes did all that.

But, still at the end, the white area is coming :-(

Try using a crayon and color the rest of the screen
