There didn't seems to be an appropriate forum for questions on Crystal Reports 2008, but since this has to do with report design I thought here would be best.

In CR2008, you have a parameter panel which allows you to view and modify report parameters. When designing the report the panel has an impressive look and feel. When I load the report into a CrystalReportViewer control in a WinForm project, the parameter panel looks totally different.

The links below show the parameter in the viewer control and in the designer.

I have a suspicion that this is a limitation of the viewer control. I would have thought that since I am using the CrystalReportViewer control, the panel would be the same as in the designer.

Is there a way to get the same look and feel of the parameter panel into my application?

Yes, I hope they do. I think it would be a big improvement especially for the end product.

Also on a side note, I have posted this question on some other forums, and this has been the fastest reponse (actually the only response). I will definitely be visiting here again.

Thanks.
