Checkbox deprecated in 9.02?

rbuser

My previous 7.04 reports made extensive use of checkboxes - much easier to
read than Y/N. Has this been deprecated in 9.02?

What's the best way to replicate this functionality?

The check box is still included. See RBuilder\Demos\RCL for the source. The
RB installation program should install it.

The designer related code has been moved to myChkboxDesign.pas, so you need
to include that in an end-user designer app.

The is an extract rbUserDesign9x.dpk package as well.


---------------------------------------
Article: RB 9 Architecture Changes
---------------------------------------

ReportBuilder 9 includes architecture changes to more cleanly separate
Designer code from Report code. The code related to component popup menus
and design controls has been broken out into separate classes.

For an example, check out RBuilder\Demos\RCL.


The myChkBox.pas unit contains the component classes....


TppCustomComponent

|
|

TMyCustomCheckBox

|
|-- TmyCheckBox
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBox


The myChkBoxDesign.pas unit contains popup menu and design control classes.
These are compiled into a separate package.


A. Popup Menu classes....

TppComponentPopupMenu

|
|

TmyCustomCheckBoxPopupMenu

|
|-- TmyCheckBoxPopupMenu
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBoxPopupMenu


B. Design Control classes.....



TmyCustomCheckBoxControl

|
|

TmyCustomCheckBoxPopupMenu

|
|-- TmyCheckBoxControl
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBoxControl

Sorry, I can't follow your instructions. It says the rbUserDesign96.dpk
package is design time, but yet it won't install into the Delphi
environment.

Can you please give me specific instructions how to get the checkbox to show
up in the reportbuilder designer, as the RB installation program hasn't
installed it.
(see attached screen shot, with all toolbars visible).

Thanks!

Barry

Finally installed dclRBU96.dpk. THat seemed to do it. Do I have to
anything else to ensure it works at Run time?

Add myChkbox and myChkboxDesign to the 'uses' clause.
