Return Sub-report total back to main report

rbuser

Hi,

I have a subreport with total calculate using DBCalc, I want to return this
total back to main report.

Create a global vaiable and assigned value within sub report
SummaryAfterGenerate event.

It shows up properly under preview, however, after I save report back to
database and rerun it, the value is always 0

Anything, I missing?


I am using BDS 2007 and RB 10.08

Hi Jianfei,

Are you able to recreate this using the End User example located in the
\RBuilder\Demos\End User\... directory? If you save the template to file,
then reload it, do you get the same behavior?

Hi, Nico

It look like something wrong with Report.PrintToDevices.

I try Report.Print and Report.PrintReport, the value shows up properly.

How can I hide the Print Preview popup form, if I forced to use Report.Print
instead of Report.PrintToDevices.

Thanks

Jianfei

Hi Jianfei,

PrintToDevices does not initialize any parameters and gives you complete
control over which dialogs are shown. If you would like to print directly
to the printer or another device, you can simply change the
Report.DeviceType property. There are also other various properties on the
TppReport object to control how the report is shown.

Article: Resources for Learning ReportBuilder
---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach
end users how to build a range of reports, but it is also an excellent
resource for the developer who is just getting started with RB. Learning RB
includes a 125-page PDF file, a stand-alone application complete with a
database, and a help file. The PDF file contains a set of tutorials, which
can be completed using the provided application. Learning ReportBuilder can
be downloaded from:

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/LearnRB/LearnRB.exe

2. Learning to RAP is designed to teach end-users how to use ReportBuilder's
Calc workspace to perform calculations and control visual aspects of the
report while it is generating. Learning to RAP includes a 59-page PDF file
and a stand-alone application complete with a database. The PDF file is
comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users through the process
of coding calculations and event-handlers to dynamically control report
generation. The application is used in conjunction with the tutorials so
that the learning experience is interactive. Learning ReportBuilder - RAP
can be downloaded from:

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/LearnRB/LearnRap.exe

3. Developer's Guide

When you install RB, this guide is automatically installed into the
RBuilder\Developers Guide directory. It contains extensive conceptual
information and step by step tutorials which show how to construct reports
and reporting applications within the context of the Delphi IDE.


4. On-Line Help

Accessible via a single click of the F1 key from with the Delphi IDE, this
reference resource explains the classes, methods, properties and events
which make up the product. It is also an excellent source of information
regarding installation, troubleshooting and version history.


5. Examples

There are a large number of example reports and reporting applications
included with RB. These show how to accomplish some of the most frequently
requested types of reports. In total there are probably over 200 different
examples covering everything from crosstabs to full-blown end-user reporting
solutions. The RAP functionality included with ReportBuilder Enterprise has
a separate set of demos, tutorials, and help files.


6. news.digital-metaphors.com

The newsgroups are very active with both Digital Metaphors engineers, TeamDM
members (volunteers specially selected for their knowledge of RB and their
willingness to help) and RB developers all pitching in to answer questions
and help each other out. There is also a Tech Tips 'newsgroup' maintained
by DM Engineers which lists over 100 different articles outlining various
tips and techniques. Probably the easiest way to connect to the newsgroups
is to surf the digital metaphors site, go to the support section and click
the newsgroup of your choice:

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/Subpages/Support/newsgroups.html


ReportBuilder newsgroup archives may be searched using a search engine
hosted by Tamarack Associates. Access the the following URL and then search
the Borland Newsgroup database. Tamarack has indexed the ReportBuilder
newsgroup archives in this database.
