Crystal Report Formatting fields

Question

I need to shade alternate rows in my crystal report.

Using this link http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23889/Rows-Coloring-in-Crystal-Reports I achieved the purpose. But now i am facing a problem the shading flows outside the corners of drawing object which looks bad. How can i limit the shading within the object.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Two solutions:

• resize your objects to cover the details section in its entirety
• move the logic from the details section to the conditional-formula for each object's background property

I would recommend the first option.
