Report Designer Displaying Incorrect Pipelines in MDI

rbuser

Hello,

I'm using RB7 and have encountered a strange bug/issue.

We display reports in MDI windows. Thus, it is possible for multiple
reports to be open at one time.

The problem comes if we have more than one report open and open
the designer. We then see data pipelines belonging to the other report(s)
in the data view. We had tried manually making all the other data sources
non-visible, but sub-report seem to become visible by their own.

Is there anyway to limit the designer to only seeing data pipelines
belonging to the report it is editing?


Thanks,

Brett

Hi Brett,

The ReportDesigner automatically searches all forms and datamodules for
datapipelines and adds them to the data tree. The only way to limit this
behavior is to toggle the visibility of the individual datapipelines,
however there is no way to specifically assign certain datapipelines to
individual reports.

Nico,


Thanks.

I figured out a way to go through all the MDI windows and if they
are a ReportBuilder window s(and not the report window being edited)
set all the pipelines on the window visible=false. However, we then
have to go back and make them all visible again. It is strange that this
is necessary.


Even some property on the TppDesigner to add a list of editiable
pipelines would be handy. :-)

Thanks,

Brett
