No data Behavior

edited September 2006 in General
Hi,

Can I foce the NoDatabehaviors in code (Regardless of how the report
template was created)?
I would like to force the NoDatabehaviors to [ndMessageOnPage,ndBlankReport]
before running the report ?
I must be missing a unit as it complains about undeclared identifier?

Many Thanks

Shahine

    Shahine,

    You need to add ppTypes to your uses clause. If you are loading templates,
    you will need to assign this property after the template has loaded in the
    OnLoadEnd event. Take a look a the following article.

    ----------------------------------------------
    Tech Tip: Using Template Events
    ----------------------------------------------

    The Report.Template object has several events that can be used for
    customizing what happens when a report is loaded or saved:

    - OnLoadStart
    - OnLoadEnd
    - OnNew
    - OnSaveStart
    - OnSaveEnd


    The OnLoadEnd and OnNew events are often used to perform actions related to
    report and data initialization.

    The OnSaveEnd event is often used to save additional descriptive ("meta")
    data to the database each time the report is saved.

    Example:

    The Report.Template events are public and therefore must be assigned at
    run-time.


    1. In the private section of your form declaration you can declare an
    event-handler method:

    TForm = class(TForm)
    private
    procedure myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);

    public

    end;


    2. In the Form.OnCreate event, you can assign the event-handler to the
    event:

    procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    begin

    ppReport1.Template.OnLoadEnd := myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent;

    end;


    3. Implement the event-handler method:

    procedure TForm1.myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);
    begin

    {add code here to initialize the report or data, etc. }
    ppReport1.PrinterSetup.MarginTop := 0.5;

    end;

    Thanks Nico,

    The ppTypes was missing from the uses Clause.
