Creating a Microsoft Visual Basic sample application with the Embeddable Designer

This tutorial assumes that you have prior knowledge of Microsoft Visual Basic, Crystal Reports, and the Report Designer Component. The following procedure and sample code detail how to create an application that demonstrates the Embeddable Designer. The application will consist of a single form with a tab control and buttons to create a new report or open an existing report. The tab control has two property pages. The first page (Designer tab) contains the Embeddable Designer, and the second page (Viewer tab) contains the Crystal Reports Viewer Control. See Programming the Crystal Report Viewers. With the application running, you will be able to open a new report or an existing report in the Embeddable Designer. After designing or editing a report, view it in the Crystal Report Viewer. When you go back to the Embeddable Designer to make changes, you'll see those changes updated automatically in the Crystal Report Viewer.

Note:    The sample application was created in Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0 with Service Pack 4.
