Where is conditonal suppression logic found for formula field objects 1

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

By referencing the Crystal Reports 8.5 ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library, I was able to instantiate a Formula Field Definition object as below:

Dim objFormFld as CRAXDDRT.FormulaFieldDefinition

When I open up the locals window, I can see the formula field stuff except for the conditional formatting I have on the object. Can someone point me to where this is stored?

Have a great day!

I don't understand what your coding means. If you right-click on a field and then choose [Format Field], you get several options including a conditonal suppress. Take a look there.

Madawc,

SBendBuckeye's trying to get to the conditional supression formulas from within Visual Basic.

SBendBuckeye,

Here's a whitepaper that says the conditional formatting options cannot be set at runtime:

Just found another article that makes it sound as if this was possible with the CR8 CRAXDRT library. I can't get it to work in 8.5 though:

Thanks Dave,

I'll have a look at those. I'd just like to be able to read them if that's possible. Have a star for you helpfulness.

Have a great day!
