TeeChart With Web Reports

rbuser

Hello

Is it possible to bring up dialog boxes etc within a report for TeeChart
when the report is being displayed in the report viewer on the web?

If so has anyone got any example code?

We are currently moving a lot of reports into report builder. We used to
use ChartFX. The activeX version of the chart gives the user a toolbar, I
am trying to achieve something similar with TeeChart through a report
builder report

Cheers

Not sure I understand the question

The web report viewer is an xhtml/javascript interface that can be viewed on
any platform (including non-windows platforms such as the macintosh and
linux).

If you want to add a button to the web viewer nav toolbar, check out the
example installed to
RBServer\Demos\Web Tier\Custom Viewer. It shows how to add a button for
generating the report as excel.

That is the only example that we have of customizing the viewer.

If you wanted to display the actual TeeChart or ChartFx interface, that
would require some ActiveX technology - the user would have to download the
binary to the client machine. We have never tried to implement anything like
that.

The autosearch interface enables the user to enter some parameters, so
perhaps you could use that.

Ok thanks Nard

I thought you would say something like that

Have you got any examples for including TeeChart in a report viewable
through a normal win32 app, where the user is able to export data from the
graph, etc.

I know you have one chart demo but it does not seem to do this

Cheers

For a win32 app, you could create a custom preview dialog that does what you
need. You can copy the existing preview dialog (ppPrvDlg.pas) and rename the
class to TmyPreviewDialog and then register it as the default preview
dialog. The registration code appears at the bottom. (Most of the dialogs in
RB are replaceable in this manner).

The prevew dialog is used by both the TrsClientReport and TppReport.
