  • Speaking about the system variable "page x of y":

    This works in most cases, but just now I had a customer on the phone, who
    has the problem, that the display value of that system variable remains in
    the basic language all the …
  • Nard,

    I'll give it a try.
    In the interim, here is a bit more information.

    I have reports in an older program stored in a template table in 10.X
    format.
    I saved one report to an rtm and loaded into a program, (De…
  • From the IDE I simply opened the report and saved it.
    Error is now no more.

  • Hi Nard,

    Thank you very much. I've been very impressed with the recent feature
    requests that you've been happy to add to your product! :-)

    Cheers

    Adam.
  • Hi Niko,

    Thanks for that. At the same time, would it also be possible to display
    the actual borders of a band in designtime if the border proper is set
    as well?

    Cheers

    Adam.

    Hi,
    to add some additional clarification. Data is in ClientDataSets and is
    fed to RB through standard TDataSource - TppDBPipeline. Function for

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks for the answer.

    In the meantime, I noticed on the forum that there is a ppBarCode
    component, I was not aware of it..
    I will try this, then I do not need to embed the font anymore.

  • Hi Nico,
    I tried new release 15.01 and I had problem with QRCode:

    1. create new application in Delphi (I have Delphi XE3)
    2. put TppReport on the form and start Report Designer...
    3. put 2DBarCode

  • Hi Nico,
    you don't understand me:-). I'm using Delphi XE3, so I'm in Unicode.

    I have for example this text in DB in NVARCHAR:

  • Ok, but how the report knows each field in pipeline? It`s automatic?

  • If YOu use bitmap there is no other way. Use at least 300 dpi image for
    printing while on screen You use other, lower dpi image. If You can use
    vector image (WMF, EMF...) than it is much easier as RB will properly

  • Hi Nard,


    Thanks for your reply...

    I will wait until RB 15.01 before implementing as the file is rather
    large, and I would like to be able to load it in one hit.

    In the mean time, I have stumbled across th…
  • Hi Nico,

    yes, this happens with every report exporting PDF with EmbedFontOptions.
    I've reduced the resultset of the database query of a little test
    report. So I got a correct PDF file with a few pages. Here are the used

    Thank you very much for your quick response.

    I'm using version 14.07. Right now I'm in the middle of something that

  • I has read this in other message:

    I has read this in other new :

    There is patch available for RB 14.05 that can load the old reports and
    automatically correct them at load time

    May be this patch can help me?
  • Nard,

    thanks for your answer.

    Could you explain the functionality behind this property?
    I cannot find any information in the documentation and in the wiki.

  • Thanks for the explanation. I kind of like the idea of the creating a
    custom TppPreview as I can then apply this to all of my reports rather
    than changing each report.

    Again, thank you for your support.

  • Hi Nico,

    OK. Almost there. Got the Data, got the Image.

    Two things..

    1. No matter what order the two section subreports are in, the 'graph'
    page prints before the Data/Table page. Prefer the other way roun…
  • Hi Nico,

    Umm. I did reply to this but it seems to have dissappeared. Wonder
    if it is because I attaced an image.


    I like the image idea. It would mean maintaining only one Chart.

  • Nico, thank You for the clarification, I'll investigate DLL
    possiblities.

    Regarding the other problem, one peculiarity of this report is that it
