  • Hi Steffen,

    Take a look at the following example...

  • Hi,

    By default, ReportBuilder will break to the next page if there is not enough
    room to fit the current report components. Check to be sure the
    Report.PageLimit property is set to 0.

    1. ReportBuilder 9 or higher includes an Object Inspector-like feature

    | ToolBars | Report Tree option from the main menu in the designer.

  • Hi Steffen,

    The method I described below will also work in your case however you will
    need to then manually save your templates into your database. In other
    words, you will not be able to use the built in saveing mechanism if…
  • Hi Steffen,

    You can take complete control over how a report is saved if you implement
    the OnCustomSaveDoc event of the TppDesigner. In here you can check to see
    if a file with the same name exists and is read only then save o…

  • Hi Chris,

    If you look at the end-user demos, you will need to separate the database
    connections of the designer (which will be connected to your ADO connection)
    and the Explorer and DataDictionary (which will be connected to y…
  • Hi Chas,

    It is definitely possible to create an end user application that stores it's
    report templates on one database, yet accesses data from another. I would
    suggest first getting the end user section built and working with…

  • Hi,

    Which menu bar would you like to alter? If you are talking about the main
    menu bar of the designer, you can access the TMainMenu object using the
    Designer.Menu property.

  • Hi Sammy,

    If possible, please send a small example demonstrating this behavior that I
    can easily run on my machine to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format
    and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Sammy,

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

    Inside each subreport, I assume you have another TppVariable in the detail
    band updating the value of Variable3 and Varia…
  • Hi Sammy,

    Sorry, I'm unclear about what is happening in your report. Did you follow
    the instructions I suggested in my previous post? Perhaps a little more
    information on how your report is set up and how you would like it t…
  • Hi Sammy,

    DBCalc components are not particularily designed to make complicate multi
    report calculations. I sould suggest replacing them all with TppVariables
    in your subreports. Then inside the OnCalc of the TppVariables in …
  • Hi Sammy,

    When is the TppVariable actually calling its OnCalc event. Check the Timing
    dialog by right clicking on the variable in the designer to find out. You
    need to select the proper time to calculate in order to ensure t…
  • Hi Rodrigo,

    Which barcode are you using. Some barcodes do not allow a width resize and
    some do if it is in proportion to the height and data. Check the barcode
    settings dialog for your specific barcode and see if you can alt…
  • Hi Paul,

    Rotated text was added as a built-in feature of ReportBuilder for version 9.
    Unfortunately version 9 no longer supports Delphi 5. There is however a
    third party freeware add-on compatable with RB 7.04 and earlier tha…

  • Hi Isildo,

    If you would like to show the value of a calculation before the calculation
    has occured (for instance in the header band) you can do so by making sure
    the LookAhead property of the variable in the header band is set…
  • Hi Isildo,

    Try placing a TppVariable component in the Total column and inside its
    OnCalc event, set its value equal to the sum of the other values in the row
    as well as update the value of another variable located in the heade…

  • Hi Rudi,

    It is possible to replace the text search dialog if you are already
    replacing the preview dialog. See the example I sent in your previous post.

  • Hi Kurt,

    Unfortunately there is no way to increase the size (zoom level) of the
    workspace in the designer. This is something that is on our todo list for a
    later release of ReportBuilder.

    The ppDB.dcu file should be located in the \RBuilder\Lib\... directory after
    you installed ReportBuilder. Check to see that this file exists on your
