Report Wizard

edited June 2004 in End User
When user is using the Report Designer and selects File -> New, a dialog
comes up with a few options. One option is a Report Wizard. Is there a way
to allow the Report Wizard to complete without selecting a Datapipeline?

And...

Is there a way to not show the Report Wizard option?

Thank for your help.

Regards,

    Below is an article on creating custom report wizards. I recommend that you
    copy any of the existing wizards in ReportBuilder and customize them into
    your own custom wizard classes. You can register your customer wizards so
    that they appear in the New dialog and you can unregister the default RB
    wizards so that they do not appear in the New dialog. :)

    TppCustomReportWizard is defined in ppWizard.pas. You can create
    descendants and register them with RB. Example can be found in the
    following RB source code files:

    1. The simplest descendant is TppBlankReportWizard defined in
    ppRptWiz.pas. TppBlankReportWizard simply creates a an empty report
    consisting of a header/detail/footer band set.

    2. TppLabelTemplateWizard - the label wizard is defined in ppLabWiz and
    ppLWzDlg. (The Wizards that show a user interface are organized as two
    classes). The wizard shows the wizard dialog.

    3. TppCrossTabWizard is defined in ppCtWiz and ppCWzDlg.

    4. TppReportWizard is defined in ppRptWiz and ppRWzDlg.
