  • When you design a report you configure the Report.PrinterSetup properties.
    These are saved as part of the report definition. When the report prints,
    the PrinterSetup properties are assigned to the printer driver.

    Workspace, etc.

    Tech Tip: Copy RTF data from TRichEd to TppRichText

    You can copy RTF data from Delphi's TRichEd to ReportBuilder's TppRichText

  • ReportBuilder 7 includes support for Delphi 7, Delphi 6, and Delphi 5. There
    are separate downloads/installs for each.

    The latest release is ReportBuilder 7.03. If you are using RB 7.02, contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com …

  • Simplest approach is to copy the source to the default PrintDialog, modify
    the class name to TmyPrintDialog and proceed from there. The source code is
    located in ppPDlg.pas. The registration code is at the bottom of the unit.

  • 1. The .cnt file is a standard Windows help table of contents file. There is
    no way to rename the .hlp and .cnt. Doing so will break the table of
    contents.

    2. You can use the Designer.OnHelp event to control what happens w…

  • Please send the Delphi project to support@digital-metaphors.com in zip
    format. Use only standard Delphi components and ReportBuilder. We will
    compile the test the application, with RB 7.04, the latest release.

  • We need specific steps to recreate the problem or a sample project. We have
    tried a test here based upon your general description. Perhaps the error
    only appears under very specific conditions. No other customers have
    reported t…

  • We performed a simple test here by printing a report from ReportBuilder to
    an Epson LQ-570+ and then printing from NotePad. No issues were encountered,
    everything works properly.

    Some of the printers you listed are LaserJe…

  • Have not heard of this issue before.

    ReportBuilder uses standard Windows API commands to render reports to the
    printer. It does not talk directly to the printer driver. There are Win API
    commands to begin/end a print job a…

  • Sorry, but I do not understand the question. I checked the RAP Code Toolbox
    and the Data Tree but both of these display the DataPipeline.UserName. Is
    that what you mean?

  • If the ExtraDevice package installs properly, this indicates the package is
    compatible with RB 7.03. The compiler error that receive contradicts this.
    Therefore my guess is that you have an old version of TExtraDevices on your
    m…

  • Try using title/summary rather than header/footer. The title will print the
    logo, followed by any number of detail lines for the receipt detail,
    followed by the summary.

    receipt title
    detail-1
    detail-2
    ...<…

  • There will be a ReportBuilder for VCL.NET.

    A pure .NET version is planned for the longer term future.

    No current plans for a CLX version unless the market develops further. All
    indications from Borland and other thir…

  • Sorry that the release notes were not more clear. I forgot that the bug fix
    would affect developers who created custom report explorer forms.

    The ReportExplorer uses a custom ListView class called TppItemList. This

  • One simple solution for drawing fixed size graphics is to use the PageStyle
    band, it prints as a background layer on the page. Select the Report |
    PageStyle menu option to add this band to the page. Then size the band to be
    abou…

  • 1. There is a DetailBand.PrintCount property that can be used to limit the
    number of times the detail band prints on a page.

    2. If you are using a subreport to print the detail, you can use the
    SubReport.StopPosition to sp…

  • To that you need to have two datasets that are linked in a master/detail
    relationship. Then connect the main report to the master company data and
    the crosstab to the detail data.

  • Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder for Delphi for VCL.NET.

    We are continuing to work on Delphi VCL.NET compatibility. ReportBuilder is
    large and complex product. Delphi 8 is proving to be a challenge - it is
    buggy, it is …
  • Dave,

    Thanks for that additional feedback - we welcome it. We are interested in
    what ReportBuilder developers are doing now and what they plan to do in the
    short and long term future. We are interested in whether ReportBuilder
