Crystal Reports - Accessing IGraphObject properties at runtime

Question

Hi All,

I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports that is shipped with it. I would like to set certain properties of a chart such as Chart Title at Runtime. I have tried via ChartObject but there are only limited properties such as top, width, height etc. and not the properties I'm interested in. I included "craxddrt.dll" in my solution which provides IGraphObject but am obviously trying to cast the wrong class with it as it returns an invalid object reference...

(myReportDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects[0] as IGraphObject).Title

Any help in retrieving the chart properties would be much appreciated...

thanks,

Paul

Answer 1

Instead of trying to set the chart title at runtime, set it to be blank and display a Crystal formula in the same place.
