Tech Tip: Selecting Paper Bins for Each Page

Sometimes you may want to print the first page of a report to the
manual bin and t… -
It may be a problem with the data access side. Is it a proper TDataset
descendent that supports bookmarks? Are there any event handlers that could
be causing a problem with the data traversal? Could you provide a simple
Delphi example… -
This is normal. We changed the visibility of child components at Delphi
design time so that you cannot get at all of the objects inside of our
dataviews as well as charts and other components we did not want you to see
in the New-For-… -
It is slower because the report is converting to the new format. Also, the
printer driver is being initialized when the first report is opened, based
on the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName, if it hasn't been initialized.

The memo controls simply print ascii text. It will read the tags as ascii
text because that is what they are in its eyes. You'll have to preprocess
tha data in order to parse out the data inside the tags. You may want to

If you want to stop the detail bands at a specified position in the data,
then use the datapipeline properties. These are RangeBegin, RangeEnd, and
RangeEndCount. You are using DADE, then you'll have to reference

Use autosearch and let your user choose the last week. You can default the
autosearch value to be the Now function result. Also, you can create a
custom autoserach dialog. There is a custom autosearch form demo in the

You can add a sender to a JIT pipeline as shown in this example:

First, make sure that the report is not freed while it is still executing.
Make sure that the Report.Print call has exited and then you should be able
to safely free the report.

The short answer is that ReportBuilder for Delphi for .Net is going to be
written in Object Pascal and leverage the current Delphi classes. This will
depend on how well Danny Thorpe and the Borland team can build a Delphi

Yes, it is possible. You'll have to hook into the viewer's OnPageChange
event. You'll need RB 7.01 or later to use this event, because RB was using
this Delphi event, but in RB 7.01 it was changed so that RB can use a

Send the simple rich text report in a simple project that shows the error to
support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll find out what is happening.

Does this happen with any rich text? Can you reproduce this in a simple
report outside of your application? Can you send an example report to
support@digital-metaphors.com that shows the problem?

First, you don't want to fetch all the records if you don't have to. I've
seen a call you could make on an Oracle database that returned the record
count without returning the records which is faster. I believe it was posted

Try disconnecting your event handlers one by one in order to isolate the
code causing the problem. Then try to recreate this using a DBDEMOS based
report and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com

Can you send a simple example project to support@digital-metaphors.com that

Are you storing the value in anything other than the Variable.Value? If you
are, then that is the problem. The value is not getting restored from cache
across page breaks. The OnCalc fires again for a detail band when it must

No, it shouldn't leak memory. There is a missing notification where object2
gets freed, but object1 holds a reference to object2 but isn't notified
when object2 gets freed. So when object1 references object2, it AV's because

The image approach is the best at this time. We tested with TC 6.01 and the
problem in their source is still there.

Yes, there should be an entry in the Add/Remove programs for RB that we
setup. It sounds like your registry is hosed or the RB installation fails to
add the entry. Can you test on another machine? Can you search in RegEdit
for any Rep… -
It probably is a corrupt installation. Did you follow these instructions
exactly?

--------------------------------------------Can you reproduce this problem with our demo reports? What sequence of steps
are required to show the problem? If there is a problem then we need to be
able to analyze it in the debugger on our machines.

Add ppTypes to the uses clause.
There is a new Report.PreviewFormSettings property. The old code will still
work in the OnPreviewFormCreate event. However, if you want to change the

Try connecting the datasource of the pipeline to a DBGrid on a form just to
see the data at runtime.
Try disconnecting your report's event handlers until the problem goes away.

To place a box around each record, a TppShape is most useful with its
