VB Crystal Report >> Drawing Tables with CR XI

by Stijn Buys » Thu, 28 Apr 2005 18:58:56 GMT

I'm working on a VB6 applications which uses the
Crystal Reports XI RDC API to create a report at runtime.

I have a database-table
SOME_TABLE(
date Datetime,
memo Text,
name varchar(50)
)

I am trying to visualize this data in a "tabular structure"
(think of it as an html <TABLE> ... </TABLE>)

The "memo" field contains RTF-data.
The report consists of a single details section containing the 3 fields,
I'm drawing

The problem is that
the "memo" field has the canGrow property set and
the final result looks misalligned.

I get something like this: (forgive my poor ASCII-art representation)

+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---
--------------+
| Date | Some RTF text.. |
name |
+--------------+
+-----------------+
| Some more text
|
+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---
--------------+
| Date 2 | Even more text |
name 2 |
+--------------+ It keeps running and running...
+----------------+
+-------------------------------------------------------
+

What I want is something like this:
+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---
--------------+
| Date | Some RTF text.. |
name |
| |
| |
| | Some more text
| |
+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---
--------------+
| Date 2 | Even more text |
name 2 |
| | It keeps running and running... |
|
+-------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---
--------------+

I can't seem to find a way to force the "Date" and "Name" fields
to have the same height as the "Memo" field.

Any suggestions?
