TppDBText Autosize Default Property

rbuser

For the autosize property in ppCtrls.pas the default value for a TppDBText
type is False. Is there anyway to change it so it is True without changing
the source code?

Thanks.

I should have said without setting the autosize property for each dbText
component in a report. Our customers always want the these components to be
autosized and when they go through the report wizard, they end up spending
setting the property.

Thanks.

1. Check out the TppLayoutFactory class defined in RBuilder\Source\ppRptWiz.
This class is used to control the creation of components by the report
wizard. You can descend from this class and then register your custom layout
factory like this:


uses
ppRptWiz;

initialization

gcLayoutFactory := TmyLayoutFactory;

finalization
gcLayoutFactory := nil;


2. If you want to customize the creation of components that get created when
a user uses the component toolbar, then use the
TppDesigner.OnCreateComponent event.
