  • Hi Rolphy,

    1.- Is there a way to combine TppRichText and detail band?

    ReportBuilder does not include a built-in way to merge/combine
    RichTexts. This is something that would need to be done outside RB with
    a differe…
  • Hi Rolphy,

    I apologize if I was unclear. I am suggesting that you use the detail
    band as designed instead of trying to append a TppRichText with mail
    merge (which is not a built-in feature). This is the fundamental way
  • Hi Rolphy,

    ReportBuilder does not have the ability to append a RTF based on data
    traversal. The mail merge feature is meant to merge the current field
    values into an existing RichText component.

    For your case, I su…
  • Hi Ken,

    ReportBuilder 17 (Enterprise and Server) includes our FMX REST client
    components which allow you to perform the exact task you mention.

    There are numerous demos included that show how to create a REST server
  • Hi Huseyin,

    You can try using the HeaderBand/FooterBand PrintOnLastPage property to
    control whether you would them to display on the last page of the report
    or not.

  • Hi Hüseyin,

    Take a look at the following article/example on how this can be done.

  • Hi Laercio,

    We are going to need more information about your data and exactly how
    you would like your report to appear. For instance, are you using a
    single dataset? Which field is the report grouped on? A sample of your
  • Hi Heather,

    The font problem is not a known issue however it may be that the account
    generating reports does not have access to the custom font you have
    installed. If you are able to reliably recreate this issue on multiple
  • Hi Heather,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? We made some
    recent enhancements related to this that should have solved the issue.

  • Hi Michael,

    There is no built-in feature that allows altering (signing) a report
    from the preview.

    One option you might explore would be to implement the
    OnDrawCommandClick event of a report component. The event co…
  • Hi Adam,

    You might consider using the new Page Summary band (added for RB 17).
    This band will print at the end of the last detail for each page
    (similar to the summary band at the end of a report).

  • Hi Suzanne,

    Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support
    to the Delphi developers that purchase ReportBuilder. Digital Metaphors
    receives no distribution royalties from Delphi developers that embed
  • Hi Mark,

    This is not a known issue. The fact that it is happening with RB and
    Gnostice leads me to believe that it is a machine/font specific problem.
    Do you know if this is occurring only when lFontListToEmbedd.Count > …
  • Hi Luka,

    My suggestion would be to create a group on the field that spans
    multiple pages per record and set the group to "Start New Page" and
    "Start on Odd Page" from the group dialog.

    This can also be done by setti…
  • Hi Uli,

    TRichView is a third party Delphi component with a RB add-on. It may be
    able to meet your current formatting needs.

    For more information I suggest contacting the TRichView support team.

    in How to change line spacing in TppRichText Comment by nicocizik June 2016
  • Hi Uli,

    The TppRichText component does not currently support manually changing
    the line spacing. This would be a useful feature and is something we
    will consider adding for a later release of ReportBuilder.

    Current…
  • Hi Bill,

    When the New dialog is empty in DADE, it either indicates that your Data
    Settings are not set or incorrect, or that RB is unable to connect to
    your database.

    Check your Data Settings (File | Data Settings..…
  • Hi Ignacio,

    I'm a bit unclear about your request. Would you like to display HTML
    (like a browser) inside a memo or RichText?

    In this case, it would likely need to be a separate control as the memo
    is designed for p…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Yes, you can use the Report.LanguageID property to load separate
    languages at runtime. The default language resource is included with
    your .exe. All other languages need to be deployed with your
    applicatio…
  • Hi Weverton,

    We have tried this here with the Delphi Translation Tool (ITE) and got
    the same behavior. Looking on-line at tutorials and articles does not
    seem to help find a resolution. According to all documentation, simply…
  • Hi Weverton,

    I am unclear about the details of the error you are getting. If Delphi
    has access to the preview form resources (.pas and .dfm files) it should
    not be giving an error that it cannot find them. Check your library…
  • Hi Weverton,

    The TppPrintPreview class is located in the ppPrvDlg.pas file (rbRCL
    package).

    Note that many of the caption strings in ReportBuilder are already
    translated by our built-in localization architecture whi…
  • Hi Gary,

    It appears you are using RAP. My first suggestion would be to get this
    working in Delphi initially so you can trace into the code and see each
    value updating real time. This may give you some clues for why certain <…
  • Hi Neil,

    One option would be to create an instance of your encapsulation class in
    your custom Preview and use its routines/properties as needed.

    For instance, in the constructor of the custom preview:

  • Hi Jeff,

    This is not a known issue. If possible, please create a simple example
    that demonstrates this behavior and send it to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format so we can test it with the
    latest version of Re…
  • Hi Nick,

    There is no built-in way to translate the contents of a report however
    there are a few methods you could use to do it yourself.

    1. Report Object loop: After the report loads, loop through all report
    compon…
  • Hi Yusuf,

    Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you and many of our
    other customers are in need of PDF ZUGFeRD support in the near future
    and are taking your requests for the feature very seriously.

  • Hi Mark,

    This is still on our possible enhancements list for a future release.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi Mark,

    ReportBuilder currently supports exporting to PDF with PDF/A-1a
    compliance. We will add possibly researching and adding support for
    PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 to our list for a future release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Carsten,

    If you look inside the ppDisplayFormat.pas file you can see how display
    formats are processed in ReportBuilder. Note that the data type is used
    to determine which display format code to execute.
