Cannot write to rbuilder.ini

rbuser

Hi,


Using 10.07 standard on Vista Business and D2007.

Andrew,

The RBuilder.ini issue will only affect your users if they are using the
End-User Designer. If so, you can change the TppDesigner.IniStorageType to
"Registry" or alter the location of the IniStorageName property to a
writeable directory and the issue will be resolved.

Nico,

I'm getting this error at run-time when not using the designer, but when
previewing reports. Also, I can't see how to change the IniStorageType,
where is it?

Many thanks

Andy

The Previewer, like the Designer uses the theme based architecture. The
theme name is stored in RBuilder.ini.

Here is an example of changing the location of RBuilder.ini...

uses
ppIniStorage;

var
lsStorageName: String;
begin
lsStorageName := 'c:\temp\RBuilder.ini'
TppIniStoragePlugIn.SetStorageName(lsStorageName );

end;


Here is an example configuring the ini storage to use the registry..

uses
ppIniStorage;

begin

// configure the ini storage to use the registry
ConfigureIniStorage(TppRegistry.ClassDescription,
TppRegistry.DefaultStorageName);


end;


procedure ConfigureIniStorage(aStorageType, aStorageName: String);
var
lIniStorageClass: TppIniStorageClass;
begin

lIniStorageClass := TppIniStoragePlugIns.GetClassForName(aStorageType);

if (lIniStorageClass <> nil) then
begin
TppIniStoragePlugIn.SetClass(lIniStorageClass);
TppIniStoragePlugIn.SetStorageName(aStorageName);
end;

end;
