Property Scaled = False in forms of tutorial

rbuser

Hi!

Is there some special reason for the property Scaled of many forms from the
tutorial (server app) is set to FALSE ?

I discovered that because I was creating a sample app and it freezes avery
time I called a report placed in a form I've created with the property
Scaled = true (default).

TIA

Set Scaled to False on all of your forms.

Though RB Server is supporting report forms via some magic, keep in mind
that forms are not designed to be used within threads. In Delphi all visual
controls - including forms are supposed to execute in the main thread of the
app. Setting Scaled to true is likely causing code to execute that is not
thread-safe.

There is no reason to have scaled report forms. ReportBuilder handles
scaling internally - it does not use the scaled property.
