Hi,

I'm happy announce that GridPack for ReportBuilder has a new website at:
http://www.planitechnologies.com. Thanks for all your supports.

What is the GridPack?

Grid Pack for ReportBuilder is a set of components designed
to work with ReportBuilder, the report tool from Digital Metaphors,
to enhance its functionality and make your report look more
powerful and more professional. All grids only save necessary
information into the report file, and keep the report file size
as small as it can, so the speed of loading a report is very much faster.
The pack includes 5 components:

TrbTableGrid, TrbDBTableGrid, TrbCrossTable, TrbPageBreak and
TrbCheckBox.


TrbTableGrid is a stretchable table grid, that let's developers more
easily
design grid, table, fill-in form reports. The features include:

- Cells can be merged and split.
- Cells can be stretched.
- Cells can have multi-line captions with aligment
(left, center, right) and layout (top, middle, bottom) attributes
as well as left, top, right and bottom margins.
- You can specify a name and a display format for each cell.
- Cells can have own background color and font(name, style, size, color)
attributes.
- You can specify line color (which can be print properly under the
non-color printer) and one of the following pre-defined 10 line
styles for each side of cell borders The value of the pre-defined 10
line styles can be:

1 Pt line, 1 1/2 pt line, 2 1/4 pt line, 3 pt line,
4 1/2 pt line, 6 pt line.

- Cells can have left, top, right, bottom spaces.

font.

specific rows at below or above of the selected rows, insert
specific columns into left or right side of the selected columns.

properties
of selected cells at once.

When do you expect to support RBP 9?

Thanks.

As soon as I get the RB 9

William: I read that you plan to support RB9 as soon as you get it to work
on - I have a couple of pre-order questions to save me looking too hard for
the answers ;-)

- does the product come with source code? I couldn't easily find any
reference to source code anywhere on the site.
- after the RB9 update work is completed do we get an updated copy of the
new version (with code) without any further expense?
- will the current (or future version) support the Delphi 2005 VCL
environment (it appears that most D7 code compiles in D2K5 without too much
fuss)

Thanks in advance for any information you can give on this,

cheers - David

Hi, David

The GridPack for ReportBuilder comes with full source code. You will get
the GridPack for RB9 for free. Since the classes in the GridPack for RB9 are
all inherited from the standard RB9 VCL classes, so Grid Pack will compiled
under D2005.


Thanks

William

Thanks William - just placed the order and will be taking a look at the
download this evening. It looks like I have a new toy to play with. I have
been looking for something like this for a while now.

Do I need to register myself as a new user with you directly or is this
taken care of by ShareIT?

cheers - David
