Exporting a report to XHTML format label hyperlink not exported correctly

edited April 2012 in Devices
Hello, when I use the dtXHTML devicetype and export my report to a file, the
label on my report that has a hyperlink is exported without the hyperlink.
The label properties are for example HyperlinkEnabled = False and Hyperlink
= http://www.google.com

However when I use as a Caption for the label for example
http://www.google.com the hyperlink is working, however in the XHTML the
anchortext reads www.google.com. This is not desired behaviour. We just want
to let the caption of the label be: Picture and the Hyperlink property must
be filled with the actual link to the picture.

We use RB Enterprise Edition version 12.02 build 279 in combination with
Delphi 2006.

Thank you,
Richard

    Hi Richard,

    The native XHTML device for ReportBuilder was not included with all
    versions until RB 14. Are you by chance using a third party export device?

    Hi Nico,

    Thank you for your quick reply. We are using TExtraOptions / TExtraDevices
    2.53 together with ReportBuilder.

    Hi Richard,

    This is likely a TExtraDevices issue. I suggest contacting Waler
    support for a more rapid response.

    I also recommend you consider upgrading to RB 14 which includes native
    HTML export (that we actively support).

    Hello Nico, thank you.

    Indeed I saw later on that the TExtraDevices made the export to XHTML.
    Fortunately we have sourcecode of this component and I was able to fix the
    issue. Good to know that the latest Reportbuilder supports HTML export.
    Maybe that's a reason for us to upgrade, however we also need the URL
    functionality when we export from Reportbuilder to Excel.
