Demonstrate the use of the Report Object Creation API Features
Summary:
The Creation API functions allow runtime creation of
report objects; including text, database field, unbound
field, blob field, chart, special, box, cross-tab, line,
picture, summary and subreport objects.
These report objects can either be added at runtime to
an existing report created in the VB designer, or (as
shown in this sample) a blank report can be created and
objects added to that blank report. All properties that
are normally available for each object at runtime are
also available for these objects.
This sample shows how to create text, database field,
unbound field, summary, picture box and line objects. For
a larger demonstration of advanced uses of the Creation API,
please see the Pro Athlete Salaries sample located in the
Crystal Reports 8.0 VB samples directory.
