New Enhancements for 7 version??

edited September 2002 in General
Hi there...

I want to know if you integrate these "new" functions in RB 7.0

- Richedit with full justify
- SkipLabels and Lefttorigth behavior printing labels.
- In the reportpreview window, the posibility of move the paper with the
mouse like acrobat reader.

Thanks

Jorge

    You can use full text width justification in any version of RB. You have to
    purchase Infopower or WPTools rich edit component. The richt text component
    that ships with RB is Delphi TRichEdit based. Once you have one of the two
    3rd party tools, then use the proper wrapper component. To add Infopower
    support, see the installed RBuilder\Infopower directory for instructions on
    replacing the rich text engine with Infopower's. You can also use WPTools
    rich text engine, but you have to purchase the WPTools RB rich text wrapper
    which is available from WPTools.

    Column traversal in subreports now supports Left To Right.

    The TopToBottom label skipping approach (using BandsPerRecord property) is
    not applicable to the LeftToRight traversal of the detail bands for printing
    labels. The way to effectively skip labels in a LeftToRight traversal
    setting is to massage the dataset to include emtpy records at the beginning.
    You can use a JITPipeline. The JITPipeline can feed empty records until the
    record count is hit in order to start returning actual records from the
    dataset.

    The preview doesn't support moving of the pages like Acrobat.

    Cheers,
