Text Object in Formula Editor (Crystal Report)

How can i get the text object so that i can use it in formula editor?

Solution

  • Text objects cannot be read or changed using the Formula Editor within Crystal Reports. If you want dynamic content that I would suggest using a Formula instead of a Text Object.

    Rather bizarrely, you are able change a Text Object value at runtime using .NET

    e.g.

    rptObject.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects("Text1").Text = "Some dynamic content"
