DrawCommand Click Events

edited May 2012 in Component Writing
Hi,

The DrawCommandClickCustInfo.pas and dfm code below is modified version of
the DrawCommandCustomInfoProj demo downloaded from the Wiki. The code worked
properly prior to version 14 of RB. In version 14 clicking on the lines of
the first page after loading the report works as expected, but after moving
to the second page and then back to the first page the wrong info will
display when clicked.

Thanks

-Jack
