2908651 - CR for VS - Text of a Paragraph Text Element inside a Text Object, loses the Text Interpretation

See this Community post for all of the details: https://answers.sap.com/questions/12991374/text-interpretation-lost.html

Crystal Report for Visial Studio SP 26

Example of how to:

When I change the text of a Paragraph Text Element inside a Text Object, I lose the Text Interpretation (RTF Text, HTML Text) of all fields inside that Text Object.

In fact, when I read the Text Format of a Paragraph Field Element, no matter what I've set in design mode, I always get "crTextFormatStandardText". And any modification made are not applied.

I'm testing with version 13.0.26.

using ReportDefModel = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel;

private void test()

        {

            CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument reportDocument = crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource as CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument;

            foreach (ReportDefModel.ISCRReportObject reportObject in reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetReportObjectsByKind(ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindText))

            {

                ReportDefModel.TextObject textObject = reportObject as ReportDefModel.TextObject;

                foreach (ReportDefModel.Paragraph paragraph in textObject.Paragraphs)

                    foreach (ReportDefModel.ParagraphElement paragraphElement in paragraph.ParagraphElements)

                        switch (paragraphElement.Kind)

                        {

                            case ReportDefModel.CrParagraphElementKindEnum.crParagraphElementKindText:

                                ReportDefModel.ParagraphTextElement paragraphTextElement = paragraphElement as ReportDefModel.ParagraphTextElement;

                                paragraphTextElement.Text = "new text";

                                /**

                                 * this will make me lose the Text Interpretation (RTF Text, HTML Text) of all fields objects inside the Text Object

                                 */

                                reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(textObject, textObject);

                                break;

                            case ReportDefModel.CrParagraphElementKindEnum.crParagraphElementKindField:

                                ReportDefModel.ParagraphFieldElement paragraphFieldElement = paragraphElement as ReportDefModel.ParagraphFieldElement;

                                /**

                                 * in design mode, I have set all field objects with Text Interpretation to HTML Text, but

                                 * paragraphFieldElement.FieldFormat.StringFormat.TextFormat return crTextFormatStandardText

                                 * I will set to crTextFormatHTMLText

                                 */

                                paragraphFieldElement.FieldFormat.StringFormat.TextFormat = ReportDefModel.CrTextFormatEnum.crTextFormatHTMLText;

                                /**

                                 * this will make me lose the Text Interpretation (RTF Text, HTML Text) of all fields objects inside the Text Object

                                 * I have set to crTextFormatHTMLText, but with no effect

                                 */

                                reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(textObject, textObject);

                                break;

                        }

            }

        }
