Access Formulas for Inside Sections for Crystal Reports?

Post by EthanEMC »

In Crystal Reports, you can attach formulas and conditions to individual sections using the Formula Workshop. During the conversion from Crystal Reports to Stimulsoft, these formula items are ignored. It is possible to attach "Condition" items to various pieces in Stimulsoft. So is there any way to access it programmatically so it can converted into variables and included dynamically?

Hello.

There are some difference between Formula Workshop and Stimulsoft Conditions. In fact we have conditional formating feature. It possible to change font text size or color of any component using Conditions or disable the component. Due this and other technical differences we can't convert formulas from Crystal Reports with our tool.
But we have plans to add functionality like in Crystal Reports the next year.

Thank you.

Okay, but in the meantime, is it possible to at least extract those conditions using the conversion utility? I would be fine with handling it myself in an extension API class.

Hello.

It's possible to extract conditions but there is a Stimulsoft report template where is no place to put these conditions.
Do you have any idea where we should put the conditions?

Thank you.
