  • Hi Arno,

    It is my understanding that the "Underlay Following Section" feature can be
    used to create watermarks on your report. Is this what you would like to
    do? If so, you will want to use the Page Style band. This band wi…
  • Hi Al,

    For future reference please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    Which version of ReportBuilder did you upgrade from? Does this behavior
    only occur for one report. If so, you may have a co…
  • Hi Brian,

    There is no file named ppSMTP in ReportBuilder. If you set your library
    path to \RBuilder\Source\ where in the RBuilder code does this error occur?
    Also check your uses clauses to be sure there is not a typo.
    <…
  • Hi Norman,

    Try creating a main report containing only a Detail Band. Then place three
    Section style subreports inside the detail band. Each subreport will
    represent each separate page in your report.

  • Hi Andy,

    I have not seen this behavior before. Are you able to successfully run the
    main end-user demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report
    Explorer\ directory? This demo uses the same table to store the templ…
  • Hi Andy,

    Are you loading a template before all of this?

    I'm a bit unsure what exactly your environment looks like. I created a very
    simple example of what can be done. You can download it from the link
    below. Ple…
  • Hi Andy,

    In order (for the example) to save your template to a database, you will
    need to alter the Report.Template settings. First you will need to set up
    the DatabaseSettings, then change the SaveTo property to stDatabase. …
  • Hi Andy,

    Below is an example of createing everything in code and using the SQL
    builder.

  • Hi Andy,

    In order for your report to function correctly, it will need to be connected
    to some data at the start. Ideally in your case, you would want to create a
    generic query in DADE that selects all the records that may be …
  • Hi Bernhard,

    This is not a known issue. Are you able to create this behavior yourself?
    If perhaps your customer's updated their printers or printer drivers, this
    could have an effect on the screen and printed output. If you …
  • Hi Paul,

    Are you able to run the main demos application. Most of the examples for
    this demos still use the BDEPipeline to access data. On my machine, this
    demo seems to run correctly. The error indicates that you are still …
  • Hi Tim,

    The outline is designed to reside in a panel to the left of the report in
    the preview window. It is not possible to add this drawcommand to a band in
    a report. The reason you are getting the error is due to the fact …
  • Bruno,

    Toolbars have changed drastically for RB 10. I believe you can access the
    TppToolbarManager by type casting the TppDesigner.Form property as a
    TppDesignWindow class. From the ToolbarManager, you should be able to
  • Hi Stijn,

    The easiest way would be to create a new empty report with only a detail
    band. Then place two section style subreports inside the detail band. The
    first subreport will represent the first page of your report. The …
  • Hi Jack,

    Yes, this type of behavior has changed. In this case you are correct in
    that you will need to use a region to allow the components to shift upward
    if the detail band has space to move.

  • Hi Jack,

    The ShiftWithParent property has been deprecated for RB 9 or later. The
    Anchors property has now been added to every visual component in
    ReportBuilder. Anchoring a component to the bottom will give you the same
  • Hi Alan,

    We have customers using RB and Citrix successfully, however we do not have
    much Citrix experience here.

    RB uses standard Windows API commands to get a list of the available
    printers (EnumPrinters). For a se…
  • Hi Alan,

    In the past when our customers have had problems with Citrix, it was
    primarily a user access issue. Be sure you have full access to the printer
    driver(s) RB is trying to use.

  • Hi Alan,

    I'm unclear about the question.

    ppPrinters represents a TppPrinterList that can be accessed by adding the
    ppPrintr file to your uses clause. You can see in code that this routine
    calls the TppPrintList.Cre…
  • Hi Roland,

    Once you install a new version of TeeChart, you will need to run the
    RBTeePackageBuilder application located in the \RBuilder\TeeChart\...
    directory or reinstall ReportBuilder. The RBTeePackageBuilder app will
  • Hi Steve,

    I am not sure how the wwDBRichEdit will behave because it is not a native RB
    component however I would assume it would automatically wrap the text based
    on the control size in your report. If you need to adjust the …
  • Hi Wim,

    It is my understanding that an OPOS driver is the standard POS driver used
    by Micorsoft and other common POS printer companies. ReportBuilder does not
    communicate with the printer driver directly, it uses generic Wind…

  • Hi Steve,

    You can use the Picture property of the TppImage to manually load an image
    at runtime. Take a look at the TPicture topic in the Delphi help for more
    information.

    TppImage.Picture.LoadFromFile();

  • Hi Ferenc,

    and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Wolfgang,

    ReportBuilder does not have any built-in feature to alternate the background
    and text color of a detail band. The easiest way to do so would be to place
    a colored shape behind every item in the detail band and to…
  • Hi Frank,

    Take a look at the following example of loading subreports by reference.
    This uses the SetReportProperty similarly to the way you are using it in
    your app. One item that may be causing the error is that the subrepor…
  • Hi Jeff,

    This is not a known issue. If you load the same report with a smaller text
    file, does it load faster? How big is the text file you are using? Are you
    accessing it from your hard driver or over a network? Are you c…
  • Hi Willo,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which Version of RB/Delphi
    are you using. Are you able to recreate this behavior with a simple example
    I could run on my machine? If so, please send the example in .zi…
