Issues with RB 14.04
Hello,
somehow I'm having some major issues with RB14 compared to RB12...
1. This one is not a big deal, but still: after loading of a template I was
setting focus onto the viewer and it's scrollbox so that it was possible to
scroll immediately afterrwards. With RB14 this seems not to work anymore.
Even if I click at the report / viewer, I can't scroll. This seems to be
only possible if I scroll over the scrollbar once. Afterards it works with
the mouse as well.
Also: viewer.scrollbox was always generated with RB12, with RB14 it seems to
be always nil.
2. Has something changed regarding the outline? In my code I'm setting
TOutlineSetting.Visible and TOutlineSetting.Enabled to false (because they
were set to true all the time after the loading of a template. Saving /
restoring of these properties seemed not to work).
TOutlineSetting.CreateNode and TOutlineSetting.CreatePageNodes were left at
true, which was working with RB12, although it might be not correct on my
part. However, with RB14 I'm randomly getting the error
"TppOutlineReportNodeCreator.EventNotify: Outline is nil.". For some reason
it is happening not every time though... Now I've tried to set both other
properties to false either and it seems to work, but I can't test it really
long, because many other errors occur and again: more or less randomly...
3. Often I'm getting an InvalidPointer error, following my AV sometimes.
4. Sometimes an "list index out of range" error
5. Sometimes the loaded templates appear to be in a loop or somethng like
that. As if countless pages are being generated: preview toolbar is
"disabled", cursor is set to hourglass etc.
Inbetween the mentioned errors happen and then at some point (after restart
of the application or just another attempt to switch the template) the very
same reports, which were hanging, are ok again...
So far I wasn't able to figure out what is going on, but looking at this I
probably won't be able to use RB14, unless the problems can be found and
solved, which appears to be difficult though, if I see the limited
information I can provide...
Any changes of RB14 you can think of, which could be responsible for that
theoretically? Any general changes in handling of the reports / templates
(Loading, reloading, unloading, ...)?

Please upgrade to RB 14.05 as many of the issues you describe below have
been solved.
Once you have retested, please send separate examples demonstrating each
issue to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format and we'll take a
look at them for you.
RB 14 is significantly different from RB 12 in the way pages are viewed.
For RB 14, the Viewer/Screen Device were completely redesigned to
handle viewing multiple pages at once. If while we work on these
issues, you would like to revert back to the RB 12 style viewer, you can
set the PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly or Viewer.SinglePageOnly
property to True.
