Printing a wwedit.text

rbuser

I have a invoice app where the nett, vt, & total are calculated then
displayed in three edit boxes. How can I show these amounts on a report. ie
I do not store these values in a table.


Great product keep up the good work.

You could use a TppLabel and set the text in the OnGetText event of the
label.

Or, use a dbText component and create a JITPipeline. Read the data in the
JITPipeline.OnGetFieldValue event from the edit box.

How do I do this.

I have wwedit9 that has the total amount to display. How do I get it onto a
TppLabel in the reprot.

I do not understand how to set the text in the OnGetText event.

Many Thanks

I stuck a data aware wwDBEdit box on a form and used the OnGetText event
(the report is on the form and the label is also visible on the form because
of this). The text is a var parameter, so you can assign it a new value and
it will appear in the label's caption. Is your report loaded from a report
template file? You may also consider creating a RAP pass through function to
retrieve the value.

procedure TForm1.ppLabel1GetText(Sender: TObject; var Text: String);
begin
Text := wwDBEdit1.Text;
end;
