    Posted: 17 May 2007 at 8:36am
I am using VB.Net/C# 2005. An MDI Form with a Crystal Reports Viewer control.
 
The double click (and click) event in .Net looks like this (I inspected the types, the casts and types are correct)

Private Sub crvReportViewer_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles crvReportViewer.DoubleClick
        Dim crv As CrystalReportViewer = CType(sender, CrystalReportViewer)
        Dim mouseArgs As MouseEventArgs = CType(e, MouseEventArgs)


    End Sub
The event is getting fired I can break into and get to the above objects, now how does one determine the text that was clicked on the report inside this event, this must be a common scenario? but I can't work it out.
 
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't answer that one. The event itself doesn't give you any information about what was clicked. It simply lets you know someone clicked somewhere on the report. From  my experience with the Crystal Reports object model, there aren't enough properties to determine what you want to find out. The runtime interface with the ReportDocument object is much too basic.

That is extremely dissapointing if that is the case. What is the point of the click/doubleclick event then? what do people use it for?

If this is the case we may have to switch to another reporting service, any suggestions?

Thanks.

To be honest, I have no idea what the purpose of that event is for. It doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. Active Reports is excellent for runtime customization and interaction. It gives you ten times more control over a report than Crystal Reports.
