report to HTML with Textradevices

edited November 2004 in Devices
Hi all.

I have a webapp using RB.
I have lines in my report (generated at runtime with variale length).
When running the report the lines get converted to images (IMG0000.JPG).
These are written in the windows/system32 directory (according to Filemon).
Needless to say this creates some problems.

Is there a way to
a) not use images
b) get RB to write them somewhere else.

    Hi Sting,

    TExtraDevices is a third party add-on for ReportBuilder so ReportBuilder
    does not have anything to do with the creation or placement of image files
    when exporting to HTML. I would suggest contacting Waler
    (support@waler.com) for more information.

    HTML does not support inline images so the device will create an image file for every
    line on your report. They should be written to the directory specified in the TextFileName
    property of the report. You can also disable the image export but setting the ItemsToExport
    property of the ExtraOptions component.

    Hi Sting,

    You may also want to take a look at eDocEngine for exporting your RB reports.

    eDocEngine draws lines without using images and where there are actual images in
    your report you can have the image files created to a directory of your choice
    through a property setting.

    Also here's an EXE demo to give you a quick feel of eDocEngine:
