Strange behaviour for "caption" properties !!

edited April 2006 in General
Hi,

I have a little problem with the caption properties.
Everytime I want to type something for the caption properties it is
automatically select what I type.
So I never succeed to type something.
The only "workaround" is to type a letter ... wait a little that the letter
or word is selected ... use the arrow to go to the end of what I already
typed ... type a letter ... and so on. And don't go too fast. Otherwise if
you type something when the what you already type is selected ... it is
replace "Aaaarggghhhh" !!!

Any solution PLLEEEEAAASSSEEEE :-)

Regards

Pierre

    Hi Pierre,

    I'm sorry but I do not understand the steps you are taking to reproduce this
    issue. First, which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you typing
    the caption into the edit toolbar, RB inspector, or Delphi object inspector?
    Please provide the exact steps you are taking to recreate this behavior.

    Hi,

    Delphi 9
    RB 9.01

    I have a report open.
    I click on a "TppLabel".
    Then I go to Delphi ObjectInspector, select properties panel, look for
    "caption" properties and select it.
    Then on the right I begin to type the caption I want.
    Each time I type acharacter it is automatically selected (just like when you
    select a word). So if I continue typing, I erase what I just type ... and
    so on.
    So I type a character wait for the "automatic selection", use the arrow to
    go to the end of my word (selection is gone) type an other character ... and
    so on.

    If I remerber I had the same problem with version 9.00
    May be I will install a trial of version 10 to see what's happening.

    I don't have the problem If I do the same thing in Delphi (so select a Label
    and change the caption ...)

    Best regards

    Hi Pierre,

    Thanks for the steps, however I am unable to see this behavior with Delphi
    2005 and RB 10.02. ReportBuilder does not take direct control of the Delphi
    Object Inspector in most cases, are you able to see this when using a TLabel
    on a form? My suggestion (as you mentioned) would be to try ReportBuilder
    10.02 and see if the problem is resolved.

    Hi again,

    I re-install version 9.01 and the problem is back.
    I don't have the problem if I use the "Report tree" and change the caption
    using that way.

    So I'll continue with this and use the "report tree".

    Any special price for an upgrade ? :-))

    Thanks for all
    regards

    Hi Pierre,

    Yes, first try updating you version of ReportBuilder to 9.03 and see if the
    problem still exists before upgrading to 10.02. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for updating information.
