RTFSetting: UsePrecisionLine reverts to false in designer

edited November 2012 in General
Hi,

The rtfsetting.UsePrecisionLines doesn't seem to be saved when looking
in the designer.

Example:

Create new report in stand alone report explorer / designer
Change UsePrecisionLines to True
Save report in designer and close report.
Reopen report.
UsePrecisionLines is still seems False.



Using RB14.07

Kind regards,
Jeroen.

    Hi Jeroen,

    I am unable to recreate this with the End User demo provided with
    ReportBuilder.

    The UsePrecisionLines property defaults to True. If I create a new
    report, set it to false, save it then reload the report, the property is
    still False. If I then set it back to True then save and reload, the
    property is still True.

    Hi Nico,

    Hmm. That's also the way I tested. I'll have a look at it later today or
    tomorrow.

    Kind regards,
    Jeroen.

    Hi Nico,

    Sorry. The testcase was not correct. Essential seems that the report is
    created and saved in an older version of RB. I tested with RB11.08

    Steps to reproduce:

    [ ] Open in RB14.07 a report created using RB11
    [ ] In the runtime designer the value of UsePrecisionLines seems false
    [ ] Set UsePrecisionLines to True and save the report
    [ ] Open the report and the setting seems reverted to False...

    Can you reproduce using these steps?

    Kind regards,
    Jeroen.

    Hi Jeroen,

    I tried your steps below but was not able to reproduce the same results.
    The RTFSettings were not added until RB 12 so there is no reason this
    property will be False when loading a template created with RB 11.

    As a test I created a template in RB 11, then loaded it in RB 14. The
    initial value of UsePrecisionLines was True. Setting it to False then
    saving and re-loading kept it false.

    Is there anything else you can tell me about your setup that might be
    causing this problem. If you save the template as ASCII text to file,
    are you able to see the changes made?

    Hi Nico,

    Mea Culpa (My fault). In the end an OnLoad event handler got called
    setting the UsePrecisionLines to False. Some left over from previous
    testings...

    Kind regards,
    Jeroen.
