excel output example ?

edited May 2004 in Server
Hi:

I have a webtier/RBServer solution which has been working great for quite a
while now using rsWebAdapterPDFWaler to produce PDF output
for my clients.

Recently, there have been several requests for excel output.

can you point me in in the right direction to some example code which shows
how to dump to excel similary to rsWebAdapterPDFWaler for PDF ?


Thanks and Regards,

Chester

    OK thanks - one more thing:

    now that I have success printing to either PDF or XLS using ISAPI Webtier
    and rbserver,
    rsWebAdapterPDFWaler, myWebAdapterXLSWaler .....

    I need to selectivly hide bands on reports registered with the RBServer

    any idea of how to tell what the current output is On the Report before
    Print ?

    for example:

    procedure TIata_Report.ppReport1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
    begin
    if PDFOutput then
    begin
    show a ppband;
    end
    else if XLS Output then
    begin
    hide a ppBand;
    end
    else
    DoSomething;

    end;


    Regards,

    The report generating on the server generates Page objects that are sent
    over the wire to the WebTier. The WebTier adapters handle the translation of
    the page objects into the requested output format.

    You might have a look at the RBServer\Demos\Servers\Custom Parameters
    example. You might be able to add a custom Report.Parameter that is sent
    from the WebTier to the Server.
