How to set a column's width and padding in code

[Former Member]

Sirs:

I have a report which has three columns, I'm trying to set some of the report properties in code.

So far, I've been able to set the report margins and the detail section height:

'set the report margins
crDoc.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins(decReportMarginL, decReportMarginT, decReportMarginR, decReportMarginB))

'set the height of the detail section
Dim section As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section = crDoc.ReportDefinition.Sections("Section3")
section.Height = decLabelHeight

But I'm still not able to set the column width or the padding between the columns. Can anyone suggest a way?

You will have to use InProc RAS to do this. Whether you have InProc RAS availbale to you depends on the version of CR(?)...

I'm coding this inside Visual Studio 2010 with the 'CR for VS' product.

If I instantiate the report object, I see the 'rasObject' in the object tree, but I can't figure out how to reference it in code.
