Finding the value from the TField of a TppDBComponent

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report including TmyDBCheckBox, and TppDBText components. I would
like to use the OnPrint event to change the components visible property
depending on what the value is within the field it relates to.

I will have many components, referring to the same code, so I do not want to
call a variable directly. I would prefer to use the Sender variable sent by
the event.

Is it possible to do this?

ie: something like

myvalue :=
TppDBText(sender).pipeline.datasource.dataset.findfield(TppDBText(sender).Datafield).value;
(This obviously doesn't work).

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

Hi Adam,

If you are using the OnPrint event of the DBText, the current record should
be accessable directly from the database. For instance, you could say...

MyValue := ppReport1.DataPipeline[TppDBText(Sender).DataField];
