  • Hi Andre,

    This is not a known issue for RB 9.x. We had problems with black images
    with earlier versions of ReportBuilder (pre 7.04) however they were fixed
    with some enhancements to our image processing logic. Are you only s…
  • Hi,

    For future reference, please use your real full name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    For RB 10.0x, we redesigned the richtext component to work without the copy
    of the TCustomRichEdit (DrawRichEdit property). …
  • Hi John,

    There is a patch for the Advantage demo available for RB 10.06. Please send
    a small email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and
    we'll send it to asap.

  • Hi Janus,

    The Chart object in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around the TChart object in
    Delphi (provided by Steema). You should be able to create a series object,
    modify it, and add it to the series list of the chart using the <…
  • Hi Steffen,

    I would first suggest upgrading your version of ReportBuilder to 10.06. We
    are constantly finding and repairing small memory leaks in our software.

    Does the problem occur on every machine? Have you tried run…
  • Hi Jason,

    Since this seems to be working with other databases, I would suggest trying
    to recreate the initial report from scratch and see if perhaps you had a
    corrupt template of some sort. Different queries can affect how th…
  • Hi Jason,

    If it would be easier, you could try creating an example that demonstrates
    the behavior using the built-in DBDEMOS database that is included with
    Delphi.

  • Hi Jason,

    Does this occur when ReportBuilder is executing a TppPageBreak component or
    simply when the page runs out of space just as the group ends. If possible,
    please send a small example that demonstrates this behavior to …
  • Hi Bora,

    ReportBuilder has been tested to handle large (multiple thousand) page
    reports. I would suggest creating your report as you normally would and
    seeing if it runs to your expectations. If there are problems with memor…
  • Hi Bernhard,

    Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at this and get back to you as soon
    as possible.

  • Hi Trevor,

    Try setting your library path to \RBuilder\Source and trace into the
    ReportBuilder code where the error occurs. This should give you/us a better
    idea of what is happening.

  • Hi Jason,

    Thanks for pointing this out. Will will take a look at possibly enhancing
    this behavior for a later release of ReportBuilder. Currently you will need
    to use the work-around you discovered of disconnecting the DataD…
  • Hi Benjamin,

    Are you using the Demo version of ReportBuilder? The registered version of
    ReportBuilder includes all the source code needed to customize nearly every
    dialog and form in the product.

  • Hi Fellipe,

    Thanks for the clarification.

    You can use the TppPrintPreview.PrintButton property to access the print
    button of the preview window. Something like following from the
    OnPreviewFormCreate event...

  • Hi Fellipe,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to accomplish. Are you looking
    to print a selection of text from the preview? If so, note that the preview
    window does not have this type of user interaction available …
  • Currently String type variables are only to be used to display string
    values, not perform calculations. If you need to perform a calculation, be
    sure to use a numerical type.

    From our email correspondence....

  • Hi José,

    Diagonal lines are currently not supported in ReportBuilder. This is
    something we plan to add to a later release. One option is to create an
    image of a diagonal line and add it to your report using the TppImage
  • Hi Brenton,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Are you certain you margins
    for this report are set within the printers' printable area? Do you only
    loose the frame shape(s) or are you loosing other shapes in the r…
  • Hi Brenton,

    How are you framing the report? If this is a frame around each entire page
    of the report, I would suggest creating a shape inside the PageStyle band to
    keep things simple. The PageStyle can be accessed from the R…
  • Hi Larry,

    Glad you got it working. For future reference, for RB 10.06 you can now
    simply run the RBTeeChartPackageBuilder application located in the
    \RBuilder\TeeChart\... directory to rebuild and install the RB/TeeChart
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Try using the Report.PageNo and Report.PageCount properties instead. This
    should give you the effect you are after.

    in PageCount, AbsolutePageCount and TppGroups Comment by nicocizik July 2007
  • Hi Anton,

    ReportBuilder uses the built-in Windows API structure DEVMODE to get and set
    the device settings such as duplex. It is the job of each specific printer
    driver to honor these settings if they are changed.

  • Hi Eric,

    The latest version of TeeChart that is natively supported by ReportBuilder
    10.06 is TeeChart Pro 7.11. It is however also possible to use TeeChart

    I rebuilt the RAP .dcu files with the source installed with RB 10.06 for
    Delphi 7. Please send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll
    send them to you for testing on your machine.

  • Hi Larry,

    Try taking \Source out of the library path and move \Lib near the top of the
    list. Are you using Delphi 2007?

    Is your Delphi library path pointing toward /RBuilder/Lib or
