I have a parameter field 'EL' and formula field 'FormulaEL'. I write a formula as follows:
if {?EL}=1 then chr(254)
In preview the report shows checked CheckBox. but the problem is that if I run the program it is displayed as ( รพ ) , not as checkedbox. How to solve the problem so that it is displayed as checked CheckBox?
Simple, a checkbox just evaluate to 'r' and set the font in the report for that field to webdings.
You could go a step further and use an image of a check instead, and conditionally surpress it when it's not required.
CHR(254) is a checkmark in the WindDings font but is the symbol you show above in most other fonts. It may be that you have Wingdings on the design PC but don't have Wingdings available at runtime so it is substituting another font. This font should be available on most windows PCs. You will have to install it if it is not available.

if ISNULL({coulmn_name}) then Chr(251) //shows x mark on the report
else if{coulmn_name} ='column_value' then Chr(252)//shows Tick mark in the report
// And change font to wingdings for the field in details section.

I am trying to suppress the text value in crystal by right clicking on the text object, selecting suppress and hitting the x2 button and adding the formula
isnull(field)
When I look at the print preview the text is still there when the field value is null.
In the formula section, I changed the code from
isnull(field)
to
if {field} = "" then
true;
In Crystal Reports a placeholder will still be on-screen when you hover over a suppressed field. Since the field is NULL there really won't be a visual difference between NULL and suppressed fields.

I can put my field in a section, right-click on the section (left margin of the editor) and select Section Expert... In the Section Expert, I ensure the correct section is selected, then I can check the box for "Suppress Blank Section".
Really all you needed was a pair of {} inside ()
Correct line of code to suppress anything in report if it's null is:
isnull({your_report_name.database_field_name})
Originally my report is created in v5.2.0. My report also uses resource bundles file. When open in eclipse using ireport designer plugin v 5.2.0, it can show all - static text and text field.
But when I am using ireport designer v5.1.0. It shows nothing. like
Do I need to configure something in iReport Designer?? Am I missing something??
I have had this happen because of the size of the static text box in relation to the font size. If the Font size is too large, it will cause the text to wrap to the next line and out of the frame. I am guessing that different versions of iReport have different thresholds before the wrapping occurs.
What I ended up doing to verify this was to make the box bigger until the text appeared. Then I played with the Font size until it would fit in the size box I needed.
I would not worry about the display problem. When the report is generated all text should be shown. If not set the options "Print when detail overflows" and "Stretch with overflow". The latter option is only available within dynamic text fields.
In my case my XML formatter "helpfully" put a new line inside my CDATA['s!!
I'm updating a large .fla file from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and get the following warning:
WARNING: Text field variable names are not supported in ActionScript
3.0. The variable '_text' used for the text field '_textField' will not be exported. Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be
edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts"
setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.
Is there a quick way to locate the offending symbol? The Flash Pro "Find" function does not seem to be helpful for this (or anything else for that matter, at least on my Windows 7 computer).
Thank you.
The Movie Explorer panel will list a text field's variable name in parentheses after the text inside the field. E.g.:
Here's some text inside my field, (myTextVariable) , (TimesNewRoman, 12 pts)
I have an Epson TM-L60 Label printer and I'm trying to make it cut the paper after printing a report label made in Crystal Reports (from Visual Studio). I have to do it programatically because it's an old printer and driver settings do not allow me to set options like "single label cut".
Is there perhaps a command I can use? But how do I send it from code?
According to the manual you print a capital F in the font size 10 and with a font name of "control". I would have thought if you put an F where you want the cut to happen, in that font size and name it may work. You'll have to try!
I am trying to customize a money field.
My goal is to achieve this format: -55,555 LEKE
But when I try to customize the currency symbol CR automatically removes the space between my price and the currency symbol (-55,555LEKE). I don't like this format. I tried everything.
Any ideas?
(Sorry for the delay, but your "crystal-reports-xi" tag isn't often used. Otherwise, someone might have answered this sooner).
Go into the Custom Style menu of your field.
Under Currency Symbol, choose Enable Currency Symbol and Fixed.
Change the position to -123$
Close the menu and left-align the field.
Now, all your currency symbols will be on the far right side of your field and the currency will be on the left. This isn't exactly what you're asking for, I know, but it's pretty close.
Alternatively,
Remove the currency symbol from your field entirely.
Make a text object with the currency symbol inside it.
Put the text object to the right of your currency field.
If you want to right-align your field and have that space between the symbol and the currency, this is the way to go.
I'm not sure what you're using to design the report, but in Visual Studio, it's possible to achieve this by modifying the CurrencySymbol property in the property list or setting it programmatically.
Format Field > Number > Customize >Currency symbol -> click on the 'x+2'
and type the following:
totext (' '&'LEKE').
in the field between the apostrophes-- ' '& type as many spaces as you require.
Then save.
Thanks for the answer.
I'd tried the first method you suggested, but it hadn't looked so pretty.
-123 LEKE
But I realized that this problem does not exist in older versions. So I put the currency symbol with Crystal Reports 7, and opened the document with Crystal Reports 11 and completed my design ;) But you should not enter the currency settings after opening with 11 or it swallows the space immediately.
