Caption for objects not being displayed in reports

gandalfgray — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:40:46 GMT

Is it possible to make the Caption for objects being displayed in reports?

I can't find a setting for this, and all the objects I haved in the report do have their captions displayed in the app but not in the report.

Here is two objects (listbox and barchart) in the app:

You can see the caption titles (which I have called "Caption of ...")

In the report they look like this (no caption visible):

I want to know the caption which is not display on report where it is not display in the report means it is in QVW or any othere report.

If it is in Qvw so Check Mark the Caption properties in Properties -> Show Caption then it will work.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Anand

Sorry if I'm not clear enough.

Thanks sushil but your suggestion hides the caption in the app, that is not what I am asking for.

I was wondering if there is a way to make the Caption for objects being displayed in reports.

As far as I know, it's still not possible to show object captions in a Report object. You have to fake them in with text objects.

Does anyone know if QV has fixed this yet? It is an incredibly annoying bug. If they have fixed it can someone tell me how to make the captions show in a Report Object? This makes automation of reports really hard. They will struggle to get large companies to adopt QV if they don't fix this.

As far as I know, it it not considered a bug by QT, but rather a conscious design decision.

If anyone knows of any plans to allow captions in report objects, please post.

under copying to clipboard:

"Include Caption and Border"

Thanks!

Fixed it so that Captions appear Reports? Or only for things copied to the clipboard?

I am facing the same problem, so I tried the "Include caption & border" approach.

Captions still not appear at the report.

So there is no way to show the caption on the reports other than faking it with a text !?

Indeed d.o.c.h89 's solution seems to work for everything but reports!!!

The way I get around this is by checking "Show Title in Chart" on the General tab. The Titles carry over to the Report tool.

Yes this is the answer! If you don't show the caption in the chart and use the Show Title in Chart instead you get pretty much the same result. You can also amend the font and justify left so it looks like the caption.

Thanks goodness there is this workaround!

Thanks Sarah & Mandy- can either of you tell me where is the "Show Title in Chart" checkbox? I've looked in Document properties, sheet properties, user preferences and the Chart Properties. I cannot get the caption to show up in the report.

"Show Title in Chart" is an option available on the General tab of chart objects.
