Add horizontal scrollbars to wizards

rbuser

Hi,



I like to add a horizontal scroll bar to the report wizard (available
fields, selected fields).

In which file and in which method do i have to place the code?

Hi

I mean to the listbox for available and selected fields.

The source code to the Report Wizard Dialog is located in ppRWzDlg.pas, the
form class is TppReportWizardDialog. It consists of a series of pages. You
can try setting the ListBox.ScrollWidth property - I believe that controls
whether a horizontal scrollbar is displayed (see the Delphi help for
TListBox).

One solution is to modify the source code directly.

Another option is to copy the source code or create a descendant. Then you
can register your custom report wizard with RB. This approach requires that
you create two classes. As an example, unit ppRptWiz.pas contains the class
definition for TppReportWizard - this is the wizard class that creates the
wizard dialog. The registration appears at the bottom of the unit.

Hi

Do you mean, copy the code of TppReportWizard into a new class register that
class with
"ppRegisterDefaultReportWizard" and let that class create my own
"TppReportWizardDialog" ?

Hi Nard,

Can the vertical scollbar build in into the next version. I think more users
will like it.

If you want to create a custom wizard then you need two classes. A custom
report wizard and a custom report wizard dialog. You register the custom
report wizard. When its Execute method is called, then you create and
display your customer wizard dialog. You can add RBuilder\Source to your
Delphi library path and trace the code to the default report wizard to see
how this works.

Hi Nard,

Followed your instructions and have it all working now. Thanks.
