CRVS2010 Beta - group tree in VS 2010 Crystal Report

[Former Member]

Hi, I have installed VS 2010 Beta 2 Crystral Report and converted VS2005 report to VS2010 version.

I noticed there is a group tree button on the left side of report and I can't remove it.

question1) is there a way to remove Parameter Panel from the report when the report comes up?

question2) if I cannot remove Parameter Panel, is there a way to disable/remove the group tree butten?

thanks

Hello,

Look for "ToolPanelView" property of the viewer and select "None".

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

From CR 2008 Developer Help file:

The new parameter panel in Crystal Reports 2008 lets users set static and dynamic parameters and refresh the report. Users can also interactively format and filter report data. The parameter panel is available from the tool panel. You can access the parameter panel by clicking the Toggle Interactive Parameters button on the toolbar or programmatically by using the following code: 

Visual Basic Copy Code 
myCrystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel
 
C# Copy Code 
crystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel;

You can hide the Toggle Interactive Parameters button programmatically by using the following code: 

Visual Basic Copy Code 
myCrystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = False
 
C# Copy Code 
crystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = false;

The panel displays all parameters that have been set to Editable or Read only. If a parameter is set to Editable, you can add, delete or modify parameter values by clicking the Show the Advanced dialog box button. If the parameter values are modified but not applied, an asterisk will appear beside the parameter field to indicate that the values were not applied to the report. 

Note  
If the parameter accepts custom values, you can directly edit the parameter value in the text box on the parameter panel. 

A database icon will appear adjacent to data parameters. When you modify the value of a data parameter, the report refreshes and accesses the database to make the corresponding changes. When you modify the value of a non-data parameter, the report is formatted or filtered based on saved data within the report. The report does not access the database.
