Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control, developed by Crystal Decisions, is a COM/ActiveX component that lets developers embed Crystal Reports viewing capabilities into Windows applications and Internet Explorer–based web pages. It renders .rpt files through the Crystal Reports runtime and provides an interactive, end‑user experience without requiring the Crystal Reports Designer on client machines.
Key capabilities include page navigation, zoom, drill‑down into grouped data, a collapsible group tree, parameter prompting, refreshing data (when permitted), printing, and exporting to common formats such as PDF, Excel, and Word. The control is widely used in Visual Basic 6, C++/MFC, Delphi (via COM), and classic ASP environments to deliver standardized, read‑only reporting inside custom business applications.
Deployment typically involves distributing the appropriate Crystal Reports runtime and viewer dependencies alongside the application. The control runs on Windows and requires an environment that supports ActiveX (for web scenarios, traditionally Internet Explorer). Because ActiveX is deprecated in modern browsers, this control is best suited for maintaining legacy solutions; for new development, consider more current Crystal Reports viewer technologies.
Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control is developed by Crystal Decisions. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 10.0 and 10.5.
