Hand cursor type on report Groups - crystal-reports

How can I change to the Hand cursor while the mouse is hovering over the group headings in the CR Viewer? I am using using Crystal Reports 2011 that ships with Visual Studio 2010.

Unfortunately this behavior isn't definable within Crystal Reports, including the Viewer. The only way I know to create a Hand cursor in Crystal is to turn the text into a hyperlink.
If you're trying to indicate that an area is clickable, you'll have to do it some other way. (You could make the header text blue and underlined to make it appear like a hyperlink.) Or you could just include some "Click to Focus" text. But sadly the cursor isn't something Crystal allows you to define.

Displaying same document in editor twice with different text decorations

I'm currently developing a vscode extension that highlights snippets of text in specific colors. In order to do that I am creating a TextEditorDecorationType with the color and use setDecoration (TextEditor) on the active text editor.
Now I would like to compare two different colors on the same snippet with each other. Therefore I want to have the editor split in half showing the text document twice, on the left side with the old decoration and on the right side with the new decoration, similar to the git source control:
I figured if it is possible in the source control it should be possible anywhere.
Currently I open a second text editor with the same TextDocument and add the new TextEditorDecorationType to it, yet instead I would like to do it as shown above.
I cannot figure out how to split the editor like that displaying the same content twice.

How to define custom highlight color?

I'm able to highlight text but I'd like to use custom highlight colors. Even if I define custom colors, Word seems to use one of the colors in the default palette that it thinks is closest.
myRange.font.highlightColor = "#ffcc00"; // Should be orange. Comes out red
That color should come out orange but it comes out red.
Any ideas?
Word does not support custom highlight colors - only the traditionl, basic sixteen colors. This is a limitation of the Word application, not the Office JS APIs.
It would be possible to apply custom colors using Shading, however (as in borders and shading).
Here's a work-around to the problem of defining custom highlight colors which I discovered quite some time ago ..
If you paste in highlighted text copied from an application from outside of Word (i.e., highlighted text from an AOL email let's say), you can then:
Use the insertion bar to select and highlight an area of the text you just pasted in
Press the FORMAT PAINTER tool to copy the formatting of the area you've selected. The pointer changes to a PAINTBRUSH icon (with an insertion bar attached)
Move the PAINTBRUSH to the existing Word text that you want to highlight using the new color
Press and hold the mouse button (usually the left button) while selecting the specific text
Release the mouse button to apply the new highlighting and formatting
The applied highlighting will also include any other existing formatting; so you MAY have to change the font or adjust some other feature (i.e., turn on/off bold, italics, underline, etc.) But this is easily accomplished. The point is that you can now have ANY color highlighting that you prefer – this hack absolutely DOES work!
Here's, one last thing – when you save the document (by clicking the OFFICE BUTTON in the upper left corner), I would advise that you first select WORD OPTIONS, then SAVE and check the box next to "Embed fonts in the file" under "Preserve fidelity when sharing this document" (I always uncheck the other two boxes). This is to ensure that before you export or print the document, you may be sure that all the fonts and features have been saved within it.
And for the record, this technique is NOT shading.
The highlighting comes from actual HIGHLIGHTED TEXT copied from a document or application from OUTSIDE of Word. So it has nothing whatsoever to do with Word's shading feature. I've even copied highlighted text from non-dedicated word processing applications, and then pasted the text into Word – where it is then available to apply the copied highlighting to text within the existing Word document.
If you think about it – the fact that Word 2007 permits you to define any THEME color you want clearly shows that one should be able to define ANY desired custom HIGHLIGHTING color as well – besides just the 15 basic colors (and excluding the "no color"). And this work-around proves that this is so. The problem is that the Word application itself does not permit you to accomplish this directly.

Putting parameter drop down, and "apply changes" in preview view

I'm using the standalone crystal reports (no .net or visual basic) to generate reports, and I'm trying to figure out a way to put the parameter selection and "apply changes" button actually in the window instead of in the "Parameters" tab to the left.
Is there a way to do this or some way to export the report for a user to easily have this ability? I feel its something very simple I missed or its not possible. Thanks in advance.

SSRS ReportViewer Control linked report does not start at top

I am using an SSRS ReportViewer Control (2008) On a web form to display an SSRS Report. The SSRS Report has links to many other SSRS reports. When I click on one of the linked reports, I get unwanted behavior.
Instead of the top of the report being visible as I would expect, the report starts out at the bottom. The scrollbar on the right in the browser window is at the very bottom, and I need to scroll up to view the top of the report.
I don't want my users to have to scroll up every time they navigate to a new report. Is there a way I can force the report start at the top? (So the scrollbar on the right hand starts at the top)
I do not see this behavior when I am previewing the report in Visual Studio 2008.
Thanks
which browser are you using? I know that Chrome does not Support report manager for example (the reports are cut in half).
Take a look at this link and this link, they may help you.

Change checkbox(Activex control) in word 2007

In word 2007, I'm trying to use the default activex control as check box. I would like the color of text changed after some one check the box it.
I know how to get it done with VBA and checkbox formfield, but how can this be done with checkbox(active control)?
Shortly, is there any way I can retrieve the properties or other object information of ActiveX control check box?
I think this answer is too late for the questioner, how ever i am sending it for those who will face this problem later on.
IF you know how to change check box color in VBA then you can do it in word as well. All you have to do is to insert a check box that you can code your self. to do so.
Generate Developor's Tab in MS Word by clicking word button at the top left of MS WORD 07 Window; Select Advanced; Select Popular; then in the pan opened, check the check box that contains Developor's tab.
Now Click the Developer's Tab, Locate the Control Group and from their, click on legacy tools pull down menu.Click on more controls option at the lowest left of the legacy tools pull down menu. A new Window will open.
Scroll down to find the option Micrsoft Forms 2.0checkbox.
Click to select it, and you are done. You will receive a check box at the place where your cursor was blinking before you startated this process.
This Checkbox is very similar to the Check box from VB. Now if you know the VBA Codes and want to change the properties of check box like color etc. Look at the Control Group in Developer's Tab. Click Design Mode. Now DOUBLE CLICK THE CHECK BOX AND VB CODING FORM OPENS WHERE YOU CAN CODE.
In case you do not know how to code in VB, You can still make some useful changes in check box. Single click on the check box and Then Click Properties Immediately below the Design Mode in the devloper's Tab.
Here you can make changes in properties.
