I am going to generate crystal report in which I need to display all information of application form in box format like the form we have bank account opening form.

For example it fetch the Customer Name from database and it is "MARK JOHANSON" then in the report it should show something like :

|M|A|R|K| |J|O|H|A|N|S|O|N

Can any one please advice how can I achieve this in crystal report.

Thanks in advance,

What I have tried:

I can't figure out how to achieve this with the control provided in the crystal report. we can provide spacing and border to text box but i need it for each character so it is not a way to generate this much textbox

In crystal report you can draw lines. So you can create a box. But to have the box around each character is something needs tricky logic. I don't know how to do it but I think Formula can help in this regard.

Solution 1

C#

Create one formula for each field which will iterate through whole string and add one |(Pie) at the start and end of each character in string.

Example : 

Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Customer.Customer Name}); //Your field name 

NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
(
   str := str +"|"+ {Customer.Customer Name}[i] +"|";
);
str

Hope this will help you..:)

Solution 2

Find a monospace font that has the boxes drawn around the letters already.
