  • Hi,

    Are you able to recreate this issue using the JITPipeline demos located in
    the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\.... directory? If so, please send the exact
    steps you took to do so and I'll try to recreate the issue on my machine…
  • Hi Reju,

    Usually when report components do not show up when printing, this means
    either your data is being manipulated during report generation or some other
    event handler code is causing the Report Engine to get lost. Be sure …

    Mousewheel scrolling in the preview window will be enabled for the next

  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Try creating a minimal
    application consisting of a form, report object, and a button. In the
    OnClick of the button call Report.Print;. Then inside the
    Report.OnPrev…
  • Hello,

    Try turning the AutoSize property off when copying and pasting components
    and see if that helps.

    The Tech-Tips newsgroup contains many articles on common issues with
    ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Susie,

    The ability to change the dimentions of the crosstab rows and columns is
    currently on our to-do list. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Hi Susie,

    Thanks for your feedback. Though it is true, the Crosstab component is
    somewhat limited on how it can be easily customized, there are a few
    features you may want to check out. Most of them are located in the
    Tpp…

  • Hi Yelena,

    If you are using RAP, this is the correct format. (Variable.Font.Bold :=
    True;). Which event are you trying to set the Variable's font to Bold? I
    would suggest using the DetailBand.BeforePrint event. If you are us…
  • Hi George,

    I'm sorry, I was under the impression you were already using RAP. The label
    is being set in the data section of the report inside the TppLabel.OnGetText
    event. You can see this code by clicking on the data tab of th…
  • Hi George,

    If you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder, try using Report
    Parameters to pass a value from delphi into a report. Below is a link to a
    simple example of how to do this.

  • Hi Stefan,

    Check out the MyCheckBox add-on component for ReportBuilder located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\RCL\... directory. There is a designtime and runtime
    package that can be installed and Checkbox and DBCheckbox components
  • Hi Yannis,

    Unfortunately you cannot get access to the NoDataBehaviors property natively
    through RAP. You will need to create a passthru function to do so. For an
    example of how to create a passthru function, please see the Rep…
  • Hi Yannis,

    In the Report.NoDataBehaviors try setting the ndBlankReport to True and the
    ndBlankPage to False (I believe this will happen automatically). This
    should show the title and summary bands when there is no data.

  • Hi Steve,

    The only other thing I can think to try would be to create a report object
    loop and for each DBText you have in your report, change its value to
    uppercase. Check out the tech-tips newsgroup in the Code Based section f…
  • Hi Steve,

    Instead of using a DBText component, try using a Variable and in the OnCalc
    event pull the data directly off the datapipeline calling UpperCase() on
    that data.

    procedure TForm1.Variable1Calc(Sender: TObject;…
  • Hi Dmitri,

    Mouse wheel support has not yet been added to the TppViewer or TppPreview.
    This feature will be added in the next release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Rodger,

    The ability to control the drop down box in the Print dialog is not
    available in the current version of ReportBuilder. We have had many
    requests for this feature and it is on our todo list for a future release.

    My suggestion would be to place each image inside its own Region, making

  • Hi Ismet,

    The best way to find out if a patch exists for a certain problem is to
    search these newsgroups. If you do have an issue with ReportBuilder, please
    let us know the problem and we'll check if a patch exists for you.
  • Hi Jan,

    As a test, try disconnecting your event handlers and re-run your
    application. If the problem dissapears, try periodically adding each one
    back to try to isolate the problem. If this does not help, you might try
