Does someone know if it is possible to replace a simple text box with a calendar picker in birt report?
I have to make a report with some parameters and some are Date field: for now I use a text box with a specific format for post. But if it is possible I want to change this behavior.
I use Birt Report Designer 4.3.1.

I want to display a blank text box at every page display in crystal report with Multiple Column as in the picture below. Can we do that in Crystal Report 2016 SP7?
Crystal Reports lays out content in sections.
So you need to identify the section you wish to use for the text object.
Then, simply place the text object in that section.
If the problem is that you don't know which section, please describe the use case in more detail.
Is there a way to make the input section (filters) collapsible while viewing the report in jasper? This is to get a wider view of the entire report. The input section takes away some space. So, once I select my filters, I would want a mechanism to collapse it. Is there a way for this?
Thanks

If you right-click the report in the repository browser and choose Edit, you can customize how the input controls layout in the report viewer, for example you could choose Pop-up window.
See here for a description of all the layouts: https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v640/customizing-report-rendering-page
There is a way. You can use "Input Controls" icon available in the Report Viewer Tool Bar to show/ hide the filters for a report. See image here:
Show-Hide Input controls
Alternatively, if you got Commercial edition of Jasper Reports Server, you can create your own custom report viewer page to add auto hide feature for input controls (filters) and can embed reports inside it using Visualize.js.
Unlike crystal 11, crystal 9 has no "Graphic Location" conditional formula button. Does anyone know how to dynamically load an image from a file location in crystal 9?
edit: Still looking into this, but at the moment the only way I can see this happening is storing the images in a database.
I have read in MSDN it says that...
1.Parameters pane: The report viewer toolbar displays a prompt and default value for each parameter. Parameter layout on the toolbar is formatted automatically. The order is determined by the order that parameters appear in the Report Data pane.
It is not possible to change the design of the parameters textbox?
No, it is not possible to change the design of the parameters textbox if you are using SSRS out of the box. If you want to customize the layout, you need to design a Web/Windows form and create your own layout for parameters and use the ReportViewer control to which you pass the parameters via code and then display the report.
The below 'dirty' way worked for me. If you already have the parameters built then delete them and rebuild them
Step1: Create the paramters in the report data window in the order which you want them to be display left to right(and they overflow into the row below)
Step2: Assign the parameters in the same order in the dataset.
I want to design a template/report where certain component's position become static or frozen. Anyone using my jrxml file, should not be able to re-position it at design time. He can add/delete new fields, but cannot modify components I have frozen.
Is it possible?
No. The .jrxml is just a text file (an XML file). There is no feature for locking it down in iReport.
You can achieve functionality like this by abstracting the user from the .jrxml. For example in JasperReports Server you can let the user layout the report, but the server always places some fixed things into the final report.
