Global variables do not work

rbuser

Hi,

Global variables simply do not seem to work in RB 14, Delphi 2009.

I have some TppVariables declared in the global declarations, I create them in the global OnCreate and I assign some values in OnGetAutoSearchValues. By the time BeforeOpenDataPipelines is called, the values are blank.

I also tried using standard TDateTime / String variables (not TppVariables) and get the same problem. It's like the variables are re-initialised before BeforeOpenDataPipelines. This makes passing values into that procedure impossible!

Thanks,

Steve Branley

Hi Steve,

If you are tying to simply hold values, there should be no reason to
create full TppVariable components. Simply use a global declaration
instead.

If you would like to create TppVariable components in RAP, you should do
so in the Band.BeforePrint event and properly assign its Band property.

I created a simple test that creates a string value in the global
declarations of RAP. I then assigned its value in the Global OnCreate
to the value "Test". I was able to successfully access the correct
value using a ShowMessage() call in the OnGetAutoSearchValues event when
running the report.
