1. Use the BeforePrint event of the PageStyle band to do this type of code:
ppLabel1.Visible := (Report.AbsolutePageNo <> 1)
2. This is Delphi's slow implementation of string manipulation. Even 2-999
is slower than I'd lik… -
The ReportBuilder Server Edition can serve a report from the server which is
an archive file, into a web browser using our customizable Javascript/XHTML

Autodisplay should only be applicable when using the report designer, to see
the data when designing the report in the Design workspace. It shouldn't
have any effect on the resulting output when the report actually generates.

This is not an known issue in RB.
1. Download the latest printer driver for the Xerox.
2. Test the report on other printers.

Use a TppRichText control or a TppDBRichText control. There is MergeField
support to link in data from a pipeline. See our installed main report's
demo project for an example of MailMerge in RTF. See demo #28

Most printers don't support transparent rich text very well. They either
work or don't work. Try another printer and update to the latest printer
driver to see if the problem goes away.

You must be using RB 6. Please upgrade to RB 7.02 and retest. This should be
resolved in RB 7 and your problem should go away.

XtraDev is an always-build package. Your pkgMain package is a never-build
package. You can set your package to also be always-build and it should
begin working. Have you tried this?

It may be easier to regenerate the archives with a new TppLabel in the
reports.
We do not have a utility that adds draw commands to an archive file. To do
this, first, you'll have to create a new class which is modeled after our… -
One way is to place all of the reports into section style subreports inside
an empty main report. Then print the main report to archive and all the
subreports will be contained in it.

It is still used. Make sure ppTypes is in your uses clause.
They should be declared like this when you look in ppTypes.pas:

This isn't supposed to be configurable. A TppScreenDevice object is created
in the TppViewer. One option is to run a modified version of TppScreenDevice
in order to support this at runtime. You could also create your own

When using the client report, it behaves more like the archive reader - it

Where are you specifying the printer name? If you set it in the print dialog
because of your call to Report.Print, then the printer setup is transferred
from the dialog to the page objects that are created as the report is

Memos should not have been able to export. You must have used a TppDBText or
a custom file device class? The device architecture is open so you can write
your own device.
Try using a TppDBText that is invisible. Then hook it up … -
Sorry, the memo controls will not export to a delimited text file. They will
export to a report emulation text file, but not a delimited text file.
Perhaps you could create a report that uses a report emulation text file to
create a r… -

Everytime you call arMain.Print, a preview form is created. Perhaps you
should use a TppViewer component on a TForm and simply call
arMain.PrintToDevices instead of multiple calls to arMain.Print. This way

What about the output on other devices? Does the rich text print correctly

You can use subreports which have their PrintBehavior property set to

Hi Roberto,
I believe the duplex settings refer to how you will be turning the page in
your document. For instance if you will be flipping the page over
vertically or horizontally like a book. dbNone disables duplexing.
