Suggestion
In a next release it might be usefull to display, as soon as the user
request a report to display a kind of 'Report being build' animatid
gif.
When the report is composed this takes of and the report is displayed.
When having 'heavy' reports it sometimes takes a while to display. In
a normal delphi environment i'm having a animation running in a
separate thread to keep the user occupied.
In the webtier you have the gauge of the browser, but as it is
possible with delphi to 'preload' a part of the page, and afterwards
alter it .........
BTW, any idea by when a new version is scheduled, I know everybody is
working on the D8 version, but i have seen quite some suggestions
that had the 'response' of 'we will have a look into it', it would be
nice to know when these looks might be realized (aprox).

1. To display a progress page, try downloading the following example.

2. Definitely will be after ReportBuilder for Delphi 8. Probably will occur
around the time in which Borland releases Delphi 9.
