1517511 - How to change the font of text and field objects at runtime using VS .NET

• As these changes fall under Report Creation APIs, the Report Application server SDK must be used
• The RAS controllers modify methods must be used to change report object values
• Code to change font name and size:

For Each area As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Area In rpt.ReportDefinition.Areas
  For Each section As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section In area.Sections
    For Each obj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject In section.ReportObjects
      If obj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.FieldObject Then
        Dim objField As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject = CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject)
        objField.FontColor.Font.Name = myFont.Name
        objField.FontColor.Font.Size = myFont.Size
        rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject), objField)
      ElseIf obj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.TextObject Then
        Dim objText As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject = CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject)
        objText.FontColor.Font.Name = myFont.Name
        objText.FontColor.Font.Size = myFont.Size
        rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject), objText)
      End If
    Next
