C++ Builder 6 and Crystal Report

[Rowin]

Hi,
I have an C++ Builder application. I want to print a report with the values appearing in my application. I get these values from my database.
I already have a crystal report format of how the report should be printed.

How to do this?

Kind Regards,
Rowin

you need a Crystal Report Component for CBuilder6 installed

Hi.
If you have the CR installed on your PC, ot should register the crystl32.ocx file. If not, find it in your CR distribution packet and register it.
Than, open the Component->Import ActiveX Control in your BCB menu. Choose the Crystal Report Control line in the list and press Install. It will install the new TCrystalReport component in the ActiveX tab. Enjoy

Here is some sample code (it is for Deplhi5, but it's easy to translate it to BCB syntax)

  with CrystalReport1 do
   begin
     DiscardSavedData:=True;
     ReportFileName:=ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0))+'\Yourreportfilename.rpt';
     Destination:=1;
     PrintReport;
     Destination:=2;
     PrintFileType:=17;
     PrintFileName:=ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0))+'\files\Yourreportfilename.doc';
     PrintReport;
   end;

Finally, you may install the VCL components provided with the Crystal Reports version 8.5 Professional or higher

I have Crystal 8.5 installed on my PC.
I can't find the crystl32.ocx file. Where should it be normally?

It should be in the [windows folder]\system32 folder.
filesize ~830kb

Please also check: [Your CR distribution packet folder]\windows\system32 folder.

. I have such files. My version is CR 8.5 Professional

Try the following:
[Crystal reports distibution packet]\ProgramF\SEAGAT~1\CRW\DEV\VCL
You should find some VCL installation packets for Delphi and/or Builder.

In my folder, there's no dev\vcl..
Its:
Program Files\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports and in Crystal Reports there are only Help and Samples as folders.
