How can i set a Report in Design Mode Readonly ?

*) Protecting from adding components
*) Protecteing from change name/Text/Datafields of existing components
Showing the Components and the components data should work !
*) how can i protect from changing the height of the bands ?
*) Editing (and adding) code in the RAP ?
Showing and copying of the code should work
*) Editing / Adding tables / fields

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately there is not currently a feature to limit the actions users
can perform in the Designer. This would be a great option and I will mark
it down as a possible enhancement for a later release of ReportBuilder.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Andreas,

Here are a few options that may be helpful in the meantime. Most of these
features are designed to limit the end user capabilities at runtime...

1. You can override the OnCustomOpenDoc and OnCustomSaveDoc events to
control how open/save behave. Therefore you could prevent certain 'master'
reports from being saved or overwritten.

2. You can use the TppDesigner.OnSelectionChanged event and SetSelection
method to prevent specific components from being selected by the end-user.

3. You can use TppDesigner.ShowComponents to control which components are
available to the end-user.

4. You can use the TppDesigner.RapOptions to control what the en-user can do
from the Calc tab.

I just updated to RB 10.06 is here a better solution for setting the
designer in a readonly state ?

No, my previous suggestions are still the standard way to limit what the
end-user can do in the designer.
