Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 V 13.0.4 SP4
VS 2010 Profesional SP1
This is my first time working with CR. I have a report that may have two optional lines in a section. To supress the blank lines I saw in help and all over the Internet that you follow these steps.
Right click the field of interest and select Format object.
On the common tab check the box next to Suppress Embedded Field Blank Lines.
Seems easy, but I don't have that as an option.
I see Supress and Suppress If Duplicated. There looks to be enough space below the second to hold my desired option. I've tried other fields and other reports still MIA.
Oddly enough I found no other posts anywhere with this issue.
I too came across this problem and discovered this workaround (Using CR XI R2)
1) Right click the section on which you have blank fields to suppress and click "Section Expert"
2) Check "Suppress (No Drill-Down)" and click on the Small Icon next to it to open the Formula Editor.
3) Type the following code
if {Condition resulting in a blank record} then true else false
4) Click "Save and Close" and Click OK.

Every use of any macro names in my projects gets underlined with 3 dots:
When I hover mouse over it , I get a light bulb and small msg box saying that browsing around this identifier may be incorrect and suggest to add this macro to a hint file, which doesn't seem to do anything:
Anyone knows how to get rid of the dots ?
Finally after multiple attempts of "staring at the screen" problem solving method I found a way to turn the dots off. In "Tools->Options" menu navigate to "Text Editor->C/C++->View" and in the drop-down box "Macros in skipped browsing regions" select "none".
I hope this is okay to ask on SO, I'm not sure. I apologize if it shouldn't be here.
I reinstalled Visual Studio Professional 2015 yesterday due to a few issues I was having. With the new installation, my line numbers have a very wide section where the mouse reverses direction and select the entire line if clicked. I don't recall this area being so wide on any of my previous installations of VS2015; I know it was there in the first place. Is there a way to disable this?
This is the area where this happens, boxed in green. It's much wider than the line numbers fill (only 147 lines in this file).
There are two "margins" available in Visual Studio 2015: Selection and Indicator available under Tools > Options > Text Editor > General > Display. Turning these off remove some, but not all of the "extra space" and the feature of highlighting an entire line is still there.
If you want to turn them off because the extra space is bothersome, keep in mind you will not be able to see breakpoints unless "highlight current line" is checked.
Initial note: I'm not getting any responses over on superuser to my question, so please allow me to ask this here:
I inherited a VS solution with a bunch of unorthodox settings. I'm not at liberty to wipe out all those settings and start over. So there is 1 setting I want to change back to VS default but cannot find it.
In a normal/default VS c# environment, when you click the mouse on a line of code that hasn't been written yet (empty, no spaces, no code, no tabs), the cursor automatically positions to the beginning of where the line of code should begin. If it's just inside a foreach, if, or etc, it will indent a bit from the left edge according to tab rules, etc.
But in the weird VS settings I have, wherever I click, the cursor positions at that exact spot. So if I click on col 20 of the next line, the cursor remains at col 20 rather than auto-repositioning to col 5 or wherever it should be. This is SO annoying because I can't always eyeball where the cursor should be and I end up clicking at the end of the previous line, then hitting ENTER, at which time it goes to the next line and positions the cursor at the right place.
How can I fix this?
It is controlled by the Enable virtual space option. See Visual Studio options - Text Editor - C#. By default it is off/unchecked.
I resolved this issue by applying Sergey's suggested change (Visual Studio options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Enable Virtual Space [check]), but also enabled (Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Tabs -> Smart).
I could find with "suppress blank lines" from "report->page layout->option" under foxpro 2.6 but I'm couldn't be able to find page layout option under report(.FRX) file in visual foxpro 6.
I hope someone could help me on how to suppress excess blank details lines under .FRX file in VFP 6.
The closest thing I can think of is... If you have textboxes and/or labels (or lines), if you right-click to bring up the properties of the control. There should be a tab for "Print When". You can put in an expression of when you want to print it, by default is always true. Above that is a checkbox for "Remove line if blank". If you do this for all controls on a given line in the report, then it SHOULD do what you are looking for.
What does this icon mean?
It doesn’t seem to have a tooltip, it doesn’t respond on right-click, and it doesn’t seem to want to disappear either.
It shows Find All results. (Possibly other things too!)
Edit to clarify: when you double-click an entry in a Find Results panel, the "scalpel" shows up next to the relevant line of code. Helps you pick it out by eye, I guess, as the cursor may not be very noticeable.
Further edit: this page says To jump to a match, double-click any line in the results list. The source file is displayed in the Code Editor with the insertion point placed where the matched text begins. A symbol appears in the indicator margin of the Editor to mark the line that includes the match, and the status bar displays its full text. - as they don't name it I doubt the symbol is used elsewhere.
