Custom Button in Crystal Report Viewer

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

       I'm using Crystal Reports 2011 for all my reports and templates. I have a Java / J2EE web application which will display these reports. I need to have custom buttons for custom functionalities (like exporting to custom quicken format, custom banking formatted files, etc). I have the back end functionalities ready in Java and all I need is to invoke those methods and classes from the Crystal Viewer through some button event click, etc.

       Can you please help me with codebase or pointers & guidance to go about achieving this functionality using the report viewer or BO enterprise Java SDK - having my own custom button in the Crystal Viewer and then clicking them to call my own classes and methods ?

       Thanks a lot to everyone in advance.

The viewer does expose the option to add your own event listeners off the CrystalReportViewerBase for some events that you may be able to use.

Your best option is to add your own button to the page to handle this.
