can grow field object not working in crystal report


I am working with crystal report in visual studio , the report contains data from the data base . the Problem is that the field object height in the report it is fine for short text length but for long text some characters that exceed the field object height will be hidden. I have been used can grow property by checking it in the format object window but it didn't work the section height didn't increase automatically to wrap all text .

please how can i solve this problem ? any help would be appreciated thanks in advance


Solution

  • In crystal reports, create a new formula. (it can be done by right-mouse clicking on Formular Fields in the "Field Explorer". In this formula field, drag and drop the notes field so the formula would look something like this {Command.Notes} or {TableName.Notes}. Then back in your report, right mouse click in the Details section and select Insert --> Text Object. Then drag and drop that newly created Formula field into the newly created blank text object.
