Topic: Disable tooltips

Subject: Disable tooltips
Date Posted: 17 Nov 2008 at 6:08am
I want to write a C# application that opens a batch of Reports and modifies them by removing or disabling their tooltips and then saves them. The reason why I want to do this is that tooltips are causing some display problems in a RDP connection.

I cannot modify the application that displays the reports in a viewer since I have not written it.

I've found the following tip of code in VB and I need to replicate it in C#

Dim i As Integer
Dim ii As Integer
Dim iii As Integer
Dim iiii As Integer
 
For i = 1 To Report.Sections.Count
    For ii = 1 To Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects.Count
        Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
        If Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).Kind = crSubreportObject Then
                Set subreport = Report.OpenSubreport(Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).SubreportName)
                    For iii = 1 To subreport.Sections.Count
                        For iiii = 1 To subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects.Count
                            subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects(iiii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
                        Next iiii
                    Next iii
        End If
    Next ii
Next i
Can anyone suggest me how to accomplish this task?

Best regards.

Alessandro

CR.NET 2005 now has a property to disable tooltips, but if you don't have access to the original report files, then this is the best way to go about it.

I do have access to the original report files and I am able to edit them. I do not have access to the source files of the application that displays them.Thus I need a way to disable the tooltips in the report instead of the application.

I have not understood your answer very well.

Best regards

If you don't have access to the application that displays the reports, then how are you running all that .NET code in your first post? This is code that has to be run within the application. Confused....

The Crystal Viewer has a property called 'disable tooltips'. You can check it to turn them off. But again, you would need access to the application displaying the report.
