Thanks very much for this post. I have a set up that allows me to select the data, filters, and report in one window and send the output to another, leaving both open. It allows me to repeatedly tweak the selections view the report efficiently. This process worked great in 13.0.4, but broke in 13.0.5. I could not even get a start on a fix until I saw this post.
My application is in VB.Net, so I thought I would share your solution, as it unfolded for me.
After importing System.Reflection:
CRViewer.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden
CRViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = CRActions.MyCRep
'From http://scn.sap.com/thread/3299522
'Where 'CRViewer' is the WPF Crystal Reports viewer. I'm effectively re-creating the disposed tool tip.
Dim ViewerMyType AsType = GetType(Viewer.DocumentView)
Dim tooltipField As FieldInfo = ViewerMyType.GetField("m_tooltip", (BindingFlags.Instance OrBindingFlags.NonPublic))
If (Not (tooltipField) Is Nothing) Then
Dim reportAlbumField As FieldInfo = GetType(Viewer.ViewerCore).GetField("reportAlbum", (BindingFlags.Instance OrBindingFlags.NonPublic))
If (Not (reportAlbumField) IsNothing) Then
Dim currentView As Viewer.DocumentView = CType(reportAlbumField.GetValue(CRViewer.ViewerCore), Viewer.ReportAlbum).ReportViews(0)
If (tooltipField.GetValue(currentView) Is Nothing) Then
tooltipField.SetValue(currentView, New System.Windows.Controls.ToolTip)
End If
End If
End If
CRViewer.Visibility = Windows.Visibility.Visible
Again, Thanks!
