create a "live" report

rbuser

RB 14.07, Delphi Xe.

How can I create an auto-update report preview ?
Not important if really "live", but almost I need to refresh data every
X minutes.

i need to close preview, re-execute query and re-open.

thanks

Hi Diego,

Take a look at the following article/example. It shows how to refresh a
report (from the preview) after clicking a drawcommand. You could
possibly use the same technique, perhaps with a TTimer, to refresh the
report after a certain amount of time.

Moving forward, we hope you will consider upgrading to the latest
version of ReportBuilder. See the following web site for the new and
exciting features added for RB 15.

Hi!
i write code

"
ppReport1.Reset;
ppReport1.Engine.Reset;
[db refresh...]
TppDrawText(aDrawCommand).RedrawPage := True;
"

inside a DrawCommandClick of one of my label inside report.
se when i click on it, it correctly refresh.

i'm tring to use a ttimer to do same autmatically every 5 mins.

i need a "TppDrawText" istance to force refresh, so inside ontimer
event i tried to call " pplabel.DrawCommandClickEvent(self) " to
execute onDrawCommandClick code, but it's not fired.
I tried with rb 14 and 15.

how can i call a method with a "TppDrawText" from "outside" report
builder?

thanks
