  • Hi Leon,

    ReportBuilder 11 now exports all MetaFiles using vector graphics so the
    quality is as good as the original.

    If you would like to remove the default PDF device from the list you can
    unregister it using the p…
  • Hi Leon,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you exporting images or
    advanced components such as RichText or barcode components?

  • Hi Alberto,

    This error implies that either the .bpl file does not exist in your
    \WINSYS\... directory or it is corrupt. Try rebuilding and installing the
    package manually.

    1. Remove the reference to the rbIBE55 pa…
  • Hi TK,

    I assume that rather than DBCalc components as you mention below, you are
    using TppVariable components. To calculate a grand total, you should not
    need three variable components.

    1. Place a single TppVariab…
  • Hi Mark,

    In my quick testing with RB 11.03, changing the angle of a label to 45, 90,
    180, or 270 seemed to function correctly. Do you see this behavior at
    design and runtime? Are you able to recreate this with a simple examp…

  • Hi Frederic,

    To directly connect with a SMTP server you will need to use Indy. The Indy
    plugin included with ReportBuilder however does not include support for
    changing ports or SSL authentication. This is something I will m…
  • Hi Leaky,

    I believe this has been addressed for the latest version of ReportBuilder.
    All resources now have a prefix of "PP" to avoid conflicts such as this one.
    My first suggestion would be to upgrade your version to RB 7.04 …
  • Hi Jeff,

    Try installing RB 11.03 and see if the behavior is different. In my
    testing, the left column in the status bar is always the largest and the
    right columns (Left, Right, Width, Height) are fixed on the right side of <…
  • Hi Tony,

    1. Try using the OnInitializeParameters event. This should only fire once
    per print.

    2. When using the email feature, the report is generated first, attached to
    the email then sent. It is not currently …
  • Hi Philip,

    The files you mention below are up to date. We have had no other occurances
    of this issue since the release of 11.03. Are you able to provide any more
    information on where the error is occuring in the RB code? Ar…
  • Hi Cheral,

    There are currently no versions of ReportBuilder that are natively
    compatible with .NET. RAD Studio 2009 does not include a .NET personality -
    it has been
    discontinued along with VCL.NET.

    For ASP.NE…
  • Hi Mike,

    This is a limitation of the built-in object inspector in the Report
    Designer. If you would like to change multiple components at once, use the
    various editing toolbars at the top.

  • I also recommend upgrading your version of ReportBuilder to 11.03. For
    upgrade instructions, contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial
    number.

  • Hi Jeff,

    What is different about this report than the other reports that do print
    successfully? Try periodically removing components to simplify the report
    and maybe isolate the issue.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Are you using the Report.BackgroundPrintSettings property to enable
    background printing? If possible, please send a simple example I can run
    here that shows the difference between printing to file and printing to t…
  • Hi Mike,

    In my testing it works perfectly. An even better solution would be to
    create a page style and use its BeforePrint event. Both methods however
    work on my end. Below is the example I created.

  • Hi Mike,

    This event seems to fire too early to add a drawcommand to the page. Try
    using a different that fires for each page event such as the
    HeaderBand.BeforePrint event.

  • Hi Richard,

    Try running the RBTeePackageBuilder application manually and see if that
    resolves the issue.

  • Hi Jeff,

    Are you able to recreate this with the Text Pipeline examples located in the
    main reports demo?

    If not, please send a simple example that we can run on our machines in .zip
    format to support@digital-metapho…
  • Hi Jeff,

    Which feature(s) are you using when the error occurs? Does this happen with
    every report? Please send a small example demonstrating the issue to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in zip format and we'll take a look at i…
  • Hi Erich,

    Take a look at demo 112 located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory.
    This shows how to do exactly what you describe below.

  • Hi Fellipe,

    For RB 11, a new option has been added to the TppDesigner.IniStorageType
    (IniNone) which prevents the initialization information from being stored.
    For earlier versions of ReportBuilder you can set the IniStorageTy…
  • Hi Bill,

    We have not heard of this behavior before. Please send a small example of
    this behavior that I can run on my machine to support@digital-metaphors.com
    in .zip format and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Praveen,

    Please upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to 10.09 and test with that.
    We made numerous fixes to the email functionality between 10.06 and 10.09

  • Hi Thomas,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to see happen. Are you trying
    to vertically align the memo text on the page or would you simply like
    corresponding labels to move up an down with the stretching memo obje…
  • Hi Jeff,

    I'm unclear about what your question is.

    If you are using a text pipeline, the data is always retrieved first from
    the file, processed, then outputed to the report. This is the fundamental
    process a Datapi…
  • Hi Jeff,

    Yes, your first guess is correct. When printing a report to the printer,
    the report is completely re-generated and all data is accessed again. If
    you would like to create and print a snapshot of the data displayed i…
  • Please send an example of these metafiles that do not export correctly to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format and I'll take a look at them
    for you.

  • Hi Stefano,

    The following worked correctly in my testing...

    function TForm1.CreateWaterMarkImage: TppDrawCommand;
    var
    lWaterMark: TppDrawImage;
    llPageHeight: Longint;
    llPageWidth: Longint;

  • Hi Stefano,

    To add an image you will need to use the TppDrawImage drawcommand and assign
    its Picture.Graphic property to the image you would like to display.
