  • Hi Carsten,

    Yes this could very well be a threading issue. To find out, try setting
    the SinglePageOnly property (of the PreviewFormSettings or TppViewer) to
    True and see if it solves the problem.

    If this is the pro…
  • Hi Carsten,

    This is not a known issue. Just to be clear, if you follow the steps
    below exactly without changing the PrinterSetup, you get this behavior.

    1. Print the report normally. - Correct output.
    2. Export to a…
  • Hi Carsten,

    This is not a known issue. Is there something specific about these
    customers' setup or reports that could be causing this? Are you able to
    recreate this behavior on your machine?

    If so, please create a…
  • Hi Carsten,

    In my testing, the following code gave me the effect you are after.

    procedure TForm1.ppDesigner1Show(Sender: TObject);
    var
    liWorkspaceHeight: Integer;
    liPageHeight: Integer;
    begin

  • Hi Carsten,

    Since many bands and components are dynamically sized, the concept of a
    "page" doesn't fully exist in the designer (with some exceptions).

    1. You can use the zoom setting in the bottom left corner of the
  • Hi Carsten,

    In order for the designer to "preview" data inside each data aware
    control, the TppDesigner.ShowData property needs to be set to True and
    the dataset needs to be open and available to the report.

    In my q…
  • Hi Jonatan,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using?

  • Hi Arnaud,

    We do not have a way to manually install ReportBuilder, the installer
    must be used.

    The uninstaller attempts to remove all dependencies before installing a
    new version. Occasionally some packages get lef…
  • Hi Arnaud,

    Thank you for the feedback. We will consider adding a search feature to
    code work space for a future release of ReportBuilder.

  • For those following this thread. The issue was resolved via email. See
    below.

    Just to confirm - yes, it is not an RB issue. It is my first time trying
    Unicode with a DB.
    After reading and trying a lot of …
  • Hi Scott,

    Which version of ReportBuilder, Delphi, and Windows are you currently using?

  • Hi Jonatan,

    In your previous post(s) you mention that you are using Delphi 6 and RB
    11. If this is still the case, the solution is to upgrade your version
    of ReportBuilder and Delphi.

    The latest version of ReportBu…
  • Since you are loading templates, the reference to the PreviewFormCreate
    event is likely being lost.

    Try re-assigning the event reference after the template is loaded.

  • Hi Ian,

    The Preview Dialog contains numerous helper properties which allow minor
    control over the report previewer. You can use the Report.PreviewForm
    property to access this (as Yusuf mentioned).

  • Hi Jerry,

    One possible solution would be to use a PageLayer for the static report
    components.

    PageLayers can be added by right clicking the “Design Layers” entry of
    the Report Tree. Once this is done, you will noti…
  • Hi José,

    Be sure you are using the Enterprise version of ReportBuilder. At runtime,
    you need to add raIDE to your uses clause.

  • I used the 'reservat' table located in the DBDEMOS database and created
    repeating detail bands based on the number of tickets each person bought

    using the 'BandsPerRecord' property. The code in RAP to do this was created
    in the…
  • This type of linking is not supported by the query tools. For this type of
    linking, you would need to use Delphi's query linking features. Using this
    approach you can create a CustomDataView that contains any number of linked
    datase…
  • It is possible to link datasets using DADE in the Data tab of the Report
    Designer. This can be done by simply dragging the detail field to the

    corresponding field in the master DataView. A visual link will be drawn for
    you whe…
  • Below is an article explaining how to load a report without showing the
    Report Explorer form. You can then use Report.Print.

  • 1. The first test would be to get it working within the same program as I
    did in my example.

    2. The standard way to control one application from another is via COM.
    There are some books on using COM with Delphi that can help you…
  • I tested your issue on my machine using RBuilder 7.01 with Delphi 7 and
    found no problem. I used the (RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\2. Custom Data

    Views\) demo and created a radio button group with one option to print and

  • There is a patch available that will solve this issue. I will send the
    patch to you via e-mail.

  • Bernd,

    Most likely the there is a static height control set somewhere that is never
    able to fit on the page in your layout. There is an article in the Digital
    Metaphors tech-tips/general newsgroup on resloving an endless pages …
  • Paul,

    When you save a .rtm file, you are saving the details of your report along
    with references to any events you have defined in Delphi code, not the
    actual Delphi code. If you then load the .rtm file into a report located in…
  • Paul,

    1. The article below explains why you may be loosing your calculations.

    2. Do a search for TeeChart on your project. If you do not have any of the
    TeeChart include files in your 'uses' clause such as ppChrt, ppChr…
  • Paul,

    1. Currently ReportBuilder does not support TeeChart 6.01 pre-release.
    TeeChart 6.0 has been throuroughly tested and is the latest version
    supported by RB.

    2. Yes use ShowComponents to hide the chart icons for …

  • Yes, you can see all TeeChart support information in the ReportBuilder help
    under ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi X .

  • David,

    You should not use DBCalcs to make calculations in this manner because the
    DBCalcs are updated by the draw command architecture, not through its value
    in RB. The link below leads to a demo
    that may help you achieve …
  • Trish,

    I tried your code and it seemed to work correctly. By default the print
    device is set to dtScreen. If you would like to go directly to the print
    dialog when you call Report.Print, you need to set the Report.DeviceType t…
