.RAF file

edited March 2010 in Devices
Hi,

I was curious about what is available in the Report Builder archive file
(.raf) and looked at the file in notepad and noticed it was binary. I then
tried to run it through a conversion using the convert.exe (Delphi provided
application) which converts binary dfms to text in the hope that it would
follow the same formatting.

When i did this conversion it did neaten the file up a bit but i still see a
lot of unreadable text.

Is there any way that i can look inside the RAF file to determine what
objects are being saved away in the file?

    Hi Anton,

    Please see my previous post. I believe it would help if you defined exactly
    what you are trying to accomplish.

    The ArchiveDevice simply uses the TStream.WriteComponent routine to save
    each TppPage object to file. You can look at the TppPage object in
    ppDevice.pas to see exactly what is saved.
