pass-through function public in design-time

rbuser

Hi

I have made a pass-through function in report builder. It work in run-time
which is a good thing.
My question is how do I make it public in design-time because when I want to
compile it say that the function is undeclaer. I can't preview the report.

Thanks

Hi J?rgen,

in Delphi Design-Time

"How do I make my pass-through functions available
at design-time?"

Since pass-through functions are registered with RAP by
calling raRegisterFunction (typically in the Initialization
section of a unit), to make your functions available
at design-time we simply need to arrange to have the
initialization section of your unit executed at
design-time.

To do so, we'll create a design-time package and add in
your units.

Do the following:

1. Select New... from the File menu in Delphi.
2. In the New Items dialog, select Package and click OK.
3. In the Package editor, click the Options button.
4. In the Description tab:
- Type in a meaningful Description, such as "My RAP
Functions"
- Set usage options to Designtime only.
5. Click OK.
6. Right-click the Contains node and select Add.
7. In the Add dialog, enter the unit or units that
contain the functions you wish to make available.
8. Click OK.
9. Save your package with a meaningful name and click
the Install button.

Your functions should now be available within RAP
at Delphi design-time.

For an example of this, see the CodeSite support package
in RBuilder\Demos\0. RAP\2. CodeSite.
