Report Components after generate

rbuser

Hi @ all,

We use Delphi Xe2. We create a Report at runtime and then load the
template into the report.
Is there a way,for example, to get the width of a variable after the
Report was generated?

With this:
http://www.digital-metaphors.com:8080/Delphi_Code/Layouts/Report_Object_Loop

I only get the values before the report was generated.
For example a variable has a width of 26 before print.
Then after print the variable has a width of 210. How can i get the
value of 210?

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

The easiest way is to create a local bitmap object and use its canvas to
measure the text. For instance...

procedure TForm1.ppVariable1Calc(Sender: TObject; var Value: Variant);
var
lBitmap: TBitmap;
liTextWidth: Integer;
begin

Value := ppReport1.DataPipeline['Company'];

lBitmap := TBitmap.Create;

try
liTextWidth := lBitmap.Canvas.TextWidth(Value);
//Convert from Screen Pixels here using ppUtils.ppFromScreenPixels
if needed.

finally
lBitmap.Free;

end;

end;

Thank you for the answer.

But the problem is, that our customers design their Reports with the
ReportDesigner and we load the template at runtime and not at design
time, so I dont have the access to this variable in delphi on designtime.

Should I maybe send you an example project?

Best Regards,
Nick.
