Crystal Report v11.5 not working after CEF- Initialized

[Former Member]

Hi,

Issue : The crystal report preview is not coming/showing up after Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is Initialized.

Expectation : The crystal report preview should show up after Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is Initialized.

Description:

Application Stack: VS2017, WINSDK - 10.0.16299.0, .NET -v4.7, 32- bit application ,OS- windows 7

I have created a sample crystal report print preview application with Crystal report craxdrt.dll (v11.5.7.1048), crviewer.dll(v11.5.7.1048), which includes CEF library and we are trying to call Crystal report view, following things happened

- Crystal report preview is coming properly if CEF is not initialized.

- Crystal report preview is not coming properly after CEF is initialized, since it got failed in the internal code where the below line got failed.

“hr = DoVerb(OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE);”

Please help us to sort out the problem…

Thanks for the support…

Note: I tried attaching sample project for reference, but not able to attach it, let us know e how to share our sample project for more understanding the issue.

Regards,

Sasikumar

Hi Sasikumar, did you ever managed to solve this problem without upgrading? We are currently experiencing the same problem and upgrading isn't an option at the moment.

Wow, craxdrt has been out of support since CR 11.5. I'm amazed it works in any of those.

#1. We never supported using the RDC in VS 2010 or above

#2. RDC has been deprecated for 10+ years.

#3. Time to upgrade to CR for VS .NET

Good luck

Howdy, I am running into the exact same issue and upgrading away from RDC at this point is not an option. Did either of you find a resolution for this?
