When we insert a Text box into the report, and it looks like this:

we can select its text right? This worked for me.

For Each comp As StiComponent In Report.GetComponents
  MsgBox(comp.Name)
Next

But what about when the Text box doesn't quite have just text but rather something like this:

How can we get not the value of that but rather just the text, what is inside the { }, "myTable.myField" in that case. All it returns to me is "Text1".

Hello.

Try to get next property:

Code: Select all

 MsgBox(comp.Text)

Thank you.

It says 'text' is not a member of 'Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiComponent' though.

Well I made it work how I wanted by doing this:

Code: Select all

TryCast(Report.GetComponentByName(comp.Name), StiText).Text

Thanks.
