Filter TppDBPipeline?s in RAP

rbuser

Hello,

I have two TppDBPipeline?s:

1) manufactorer
2)article

then I?ve an Master/Detail report, where I?ll show the
articles depending on the manufactorer. The filtering should
happen in the rtm-Template in the onprint of the "article-band".

I made this on the application-site while filtering the Datasets
directly in the delphis code:

ClientDataSet.Filter:= ' xyz = 123;
ClientDataSet.Filtered := True;

...but now I must move this to the RAP-Code...

Can I do such an filtering of in RAP-Code?
Is there anywhere an examle?

Do you have any Idea?

Yes, you can filter from RAP, although you'll have to create a RAP pass
through function to do this. Use the same event in RAP as you did in Delphi
which worked, however, you'll have to call a pass through function (pass the
'xyz = 123' string as the parameter) to set the filter on the CDS in Delphi
code, since the CDS isn't visible in RAP. There are examples of creating and
registering RAP pass through functions in the tutorials and RAP help file in
the installation. See the RAP folder of our demos directory as a place to
get started.
