Displaying Report Progress - Crystal 2008 .Net Visual Studio 2005

[Former Member]

In Crystal 2008 Developer, when running a report with a lot of data, it will show you this information in the Status bar:

Accessing Database

Reading Records

Record X of X

Compressing Summaries

Page X of X

Subreport Reading Record

And it will give you a stop button.

With the .Net Viewer Control, how can you get these options. We are moving from Crystal XI to Crystal 2008. We did use the RDC control in Crystal XI which gave us the stop button and the viewer had a DownloadFinished event.

In summary, is there a way to show the progress of a report or create a progress bar?

Thank you,

Tyler

Hi Lukek.

Is there a progress bar available yet for windows desktop applications developed using Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 that tells the user how long before their report will be displayed? I have some really long running reports and it is not so good that the CRViewer just sits there with an hourglass. I don't want the user to 'end task' out of the window.

Unfotunately, not for windows apps.

I wonder if there will be one in CRVS2010. I'll check and update this thread once I find out.

Just an FYI

CRVS still does not have a customizable progress indicator for win apps.
