There is a wrapper available from wpcube, the author of wptools. I have tested it under Delphi 7 with RB 7.04 with WpTools 4.x and it works very fine. In the eduser editor you get two new icons. One for memos and one for a single line text. By right mouse button you could start an design editor to insert text in the report form. A drawback is, that the captions in this editor are only english and this editor is not supporting resource strings. So you have to translate the design editor, if you need another language, in source code.
WpTools itself could be translated via an XML control which is included with the package. I have told to Julian Ziersch to also support resource strings, but he meant, that nobody needs it :-(. The ReportBuilder wrapper is an extra product from WpCube. And also Julian Ziersch has updated this wrapper for RB 9.x. But i cold not test it, because we only can switch to RB 9.x by the end of this year,
But be aware of that: If you use this wrapper for printout you not have an wisywig output like in the wptool it self. That means, if you have build a text processor and see your line wraps they could be differ and also the page brake could be another while printing with that wrapper, But on the other hand you have all advantages from report builder. Also walers pdf did not support RTF as textoutput with bold, italic and so on (or you have to render it as bit image).
