Cannot suppress parameter prompts at runtime (Crystal Report)

[Bill Nguyen]

Report source is an SQLSERVER 2K store procedure. VB.NET application. Report
created by CR 8.5.
At runtime, I still had to click "CANCEL" to bypass the parameter prompts
before the report display correctly. Also, print option grayed out although
it was available at design time.
Thanks a million!

Below is the code:

crRptName = crRptPath & Trim(rptName)

Try

reportDocument1.Load(crRptName)


Dim ParameterFields As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields

Dim ParameterField0 As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField

Dim ParameterField1 As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField

Dim ParameterDiscreteValue0 As
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

Dim ParameterDiscreteValue1 As
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

ParameterFields = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields

ParameterField0 = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField

ParameterField0.ParameterFieldName = "@salesdate"

ParameterField1 = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField

ParameterField1.ParameterFieldName = "@inflag"

ParameterDiscreteValue0 = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

ParameterDiscreteValue0.Value = rptParam0

ParameterDiscreteValue1 = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

ParameterDiscreteValue1.Value = rptParam1

ParameterField0.CurrentValues.Add(ParameterDiscreteValue0)

ParameterField1.CurrentValues.Add(ParameterDiscreteValue1)

ParameterFields.Add(ParameterField0)

ParameterFields.Add(ParameterField1)



lblPrintWait.Text = "Loading report. Please wait..."

lblPrintWait.Visible = True

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor



With myCrystal.CrystalReportViewer1

..ReportSource() = reportDocument1

..SelectionFormula = mSelection

If rptParam0 <> "NA" Then

..ParameterFieldInfo = ParameterFields

End If

'.ShowExportButton = True

'.ShowPageNavigateButtons = True

..ShowPrintButton = True

'.PrintReport()

..RefreshReport()

End With

Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default

lblPrintWait.Visible = False

myCrystal.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

myCrystal.ShowDialog()

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Source & ": " & ex.Message)

End Try

This won't solve your problems, but...

I've got the same problem. Today I discovered that "enter parameter
values" dialog is only shown if the form (or crystal viewer) is not
visible.
This is crazy! I've been trying to find a workarround. The problem is
(in my case) that the dialog is displayed even if the form's visible
property is set to true and location is in invisible area.

I hope we find a workarround.
