Re: customerized Data Source Connection Information Dialog Box in crys

Hi Jui-Pin,

I'm not sure what Crystal Reports uses for their dialog box, but if they use
the OLE DB data links API, you can customize that. The documentation for
this is pretty sparse. It's at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/enus/oledb/htm/oledbprovider_extensible_data_link_ui_api.asp

Watch for line wraps in the URL. It's called "Provider Extensible Data Link
User Interface API".

Hope this helps,
