X-Position and Field Width in RAS SDK

Posted on Jul 21, 2020 at 07:00 AM 33 Views Last edit Jul 21, 2020 at 05:14 PM 2 rev.

It seems to me that following types of Conditional Formulas:

CrObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeEnum.crObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeDeltaX and CrObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeEnum.crObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeDeltaWidth

return NULL in RAS SDK, the same as "Display string" did in this problem:

https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/1746303

I could reproduce the problem with the same steps as in the ticket above.

I am using 13.0.25 Version of SDK

Is it a known problem, or am I missing something?

    You are looking at this the wrong way, use the Object to change the position.

    First you get the type, and then you change the x/y using the type:

    Get my Parameter Test app from here:

    https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads

    In that app it has a drop down box to get various objects.

    Look in here:

    private void ReportObjectComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

    For example the text object has these parts and that's what you want to use to move an object:

    rptObj1.Left = //Number in Twips 1 inch = 1440 twips
rptObj1.Top = //Number in Twips 1 inch = 1440 twips
// objects reference point is the top left corner

    The whole object is controlled by the X and Y values which is top left corner in twips.

    A condition formula has nothing to do with the object position.

    What are you trying to do?

      It is possible to edit the formula for X Position Adjustment / Width Adjustment in CR Designer:

      I supposed that

      CrObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeEnum.crObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeDeltaX and CrObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeEnum.crObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeDeltaWidth

      that exist in RAS SDK should provide me access to these formulas through the API, but they do not: the call of it, for example:

      MyReportObject.Format.ConditionalFormulas[CrObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeEnum.crObjectFormatConditionFormulaTypeDeltaX].Text


      returns NULL even for the formulas that have something in them.
