Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

Using the Format Painter

Use the Format Painter to copy common absolute and conditional formatting properties from one report object to one or more target objects. The Format Painter option is available when you right-click a source object in your report and choose Format Painter from the context menu. If you apply formatting to a target field that is not the same as your source field, only the common properties are applied. For example, if your source field is a Boolean field and your target field is a currency field, only the common font and border properties are changed; Boolean properties are not applied and currency properties are not set.
Note:
  • The Format Painter does not copy hyperlink information to a target object or field.
  • When using a "Date and Time" field as your source, a target field's date or time properties are changed; the reverse is also true (that is, a Date field or a Time field used as your source also affects the date and time properties of a "Date and Time" field).
