Disable Textserach and outline

edited January 2003 in End User
Hello,

i just try to update from 6.03 to 7.01.

the new dialogs for Textserach and outline are not translatet, so i wont to
disable them from the Enduser-editor for the time, a translation is
available.

How can i do this. I found no property for this like hiding componants from
the toolbar?

Also i got some exceptions in Textserach in the Preview of the
enduser-editor. "floatingpoint error".

thank you
chris

    You can disable the search library from being linked in (reduces footprint
    of exe as well) at runtime by removing ppSearch from the implementation uses
    clause of ppProd.pas and rebuilding using the RBuilder\Source directory.
    Doing this will disable the menu option from the end user designer as well
    as hiding the controls in the preview. RAP will still be available to be
    linked in, even though you are rebuilding with modified source.

    If you want to only change the preview form appearance, and not the designer
    menu option, you can disable the text search from the preview form by
    setting Report.TextSearchSettings.Enabled := False. The end user can then
    set this to true in the designer menu under Report | Find Text Settings, in
    order to get it back.

    A patch is available to fix a division by zero error. This can happen if you
    use a static height empty memo in the report. Email
    support@digital-metaphors.com for the patch.

    Can you send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com which shows how to
    reproduce the text search exception?

    Cheers,
