a little suggestion

edited December 2001 in General
Hi, I'm a very happy ReportBuilder user. I think it's incredible...
I only want to suggest one idea for future versions, I hope you will accept
it, because I think it could interest everybody. (Ind I think it is not very
difficult to implement in future versions)

Well, you all know the "Blank when Zero" property...
What about "Strikeout when negative"??? or "Bold" or "Italic"??

Yes, I know this is easy to do with a simple line of code in the beforeprint
event... but, end-users will get more possibilities.

Well, It is only a suggestion

    Thanks, for the suggestion. The cool thing you can do for your end users, is
    create a custom RB component which adds this property. You'll need to
    register your custom dbText compoent with RB to replace ours. Then add your
    new dbText unit to the uses clause of you report application and the runtime
    designer will use your component.
