Charts in Rbuilder?

rbuser

Hi,
I'm quite new in RBuilder - so please excuse my simple Question:

Using RBuidler 10.5 on Delphi7 pro I'm missing the ability to create charts.
The only components I see are DBText, DBMemo, DBRichText, DBCalc,
DBImage, DBBarCode, DB2DBarCode and DBCheckbox.

Do I have to install additionally Components or maybe upgrade RBuilder?


Thanks in advance

Hi Thomas,

ReportBuilder has the ability to add TeeChart support to its reports. I
would suggest first being sure you have TeeChart installed on your machine.
If not, you can obtain it from http://www.steema.com. Once you have
TeeChart installed, you can re-install ReportBuilder, being sure to select
the TeeChart support option during the setup interview and a TeeChart
component will be available when designing reports.

I also recommend upgrading to RB 10.06. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com
with your serial number and purchasing email address for upgrade
instructions.

I have charts in many of my reports but use a TppImage and create the WMF
image from my TChart inside my application. This means I only have to
configure the TChart once (which can get quite complex). If you have events
in your app that control how the chart loos (such as BeforeDrawSeries for
configuring the layout) it can get a bit complex, but in the end, it has
saved me a lot of time.

If you are interested, let me know and I can post some of the code here.
