Is there any component around that will do for reportBuilder what the QRExpr component does for Quickreports? Without having to use RAP, it'd be very useful for an end-user to be able to insert simple expressions into a text field.
We are not aware of a custom component to do this. You could create one fairly easily. It could use the label's edit box in the toolbar for the user to enter the expression or you could add a menu option to the popup menu that would launch a dialog where they could enter an expression, selecting from a list of available fields in the pipeline. You could use the GetTheText method of the component to evaluate the expression and display it. Here are a couple of custom components in addition to the checkbox custom component in the installed RBuilder\Demos\RCL
