Workshop tree and Field tree have become undocked

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I have 11.5 and have somehow undocked my Workshop tree

and Field tree in the Formula Editor. Now all my reports are that way !

Is there a reset button or something ?

I couldn't find anything in the Crystal environment

for something as simple as redocking a window.

Help

Thanks,

JImmy

Hi Jimmy,

There is a registry key that can reset the toolbars and dock them back.

Before you edit the registry, please back it up and make sure u2018Allow Dockingu2019 is selected for the particular tree that is not docked. Just right-click the blank area of the floating tree and check if u2018Allow Dockingu2019 is selected.

Go to start > run > regedit.

Browse through HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Business Objects > Suite 11.5 > Crystal Reports > Formula Workshop.

Under this, the keys ToolBar-Bar1 to ToolBar-Bar3 are for each of the three trees. Depending on which one of them is undocked, click on the correct ToolBar-Bar1/2/3 keys. If you click on one of these keys, there should be a value on the right called u2018WindowNameu2019; this will show what tree the current key belongs to.

Once you select the right ToolBar key, on the right side look for u2018DockingStyleu2019 and set it to u2018f000u2019. Also look for u2018MRUFloatStyleu2019 and set it to u20180u2019.

Restart CR and open the Formula Workshop, the tree would still be undocked. To Dock it, just double-click the tree.

Hope this helps!

Hi Abhilash !

Thank you for your very helpful reply. I timidly went to

the registry (after saving the regs) and successfully changed

the docking style and the float style. I clicked on the field tree

and it went back to the old position.(Yeah

The window tree, however, went to the top and expanded all across the screen.

I checked it and the Docking Style is set to "f000".

I went back to the "MRUs" in the registry and thought to set the MRUFloatX

to 0, but then I thought of all the pain I'd go through if I didn't ask first.

The window tree is at the top (instead of at its' old position of being

in line with all the other trees ) and expanded all the way across.

Which settings do I need to set to bring it back home to mama !

Thank you so much for your help,

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

I would say - undock the Window Tree and let it float all by itself! Go back and re-do the registry just for this tree and it should be back on.

P.S: What's a 'Window Tree' by the way?!

Hi Jimmy I have CRXI

I grab the section I am trying to re-dock and drag down, and to the far left of the screen. Eventually you will see it pop

back where it is supposed to be. I have both my field explorer and report explorer at the far left of my screens.

Not sure if that is where yours are. But just drag over and down (or up) till you see it change size. HTH

Hey Abhilash,

Thanks again.

"Window Tree" is what the module called itself when it was undocked.

I noticed V-361's message and tried that first 'cause I saw that

"f000" was already in the registry, and it's all working fine now.

You guys are the best and thank you again.

I'm back to normal (not that anyone else thinks so

Thanks again,

Jimmy

I assigned you "very helpful answer" but it doesn't seem

to process it.
