cViewIMAGE.ImageFolder | Operation

cViewIMAGE.ImageFolder

Use this approach if you want to process multiple images from one folder.  You use a file name with a wildcard to select the images.  For example, c:\Products\CR*.jpg will select all the jpg files that have a name that starts with CR in the c:\Products folder.

You use the cViewIMAGE.ImageFolder driver in a similar way to the cViewIMAGE.SingleImage driver. program to create a control file with the information the driver needs to extract the images.

  • Identify an ODBC data source with the information
  • Select the table, and fields to retrieve the information
  • Save this in a control file (an xml document)
  • Create your Crystal Report to use the cViewIMAGE data driver and the control file.

 Operation

Create a new report or subreport, and select a COM data source. In CR8.5 this is listed in the data explorer under "More Data Sources", "Active Data". If you do not see COM data listed, you can install the COM driver using these instructions.
