Template... Help please.

rbuser

Dears,

I have a report in a file RTM. In execution time I load this report like
this:

ppReport1.Template.FileName := 'test.rtm';
ppReport1.Template.LoadFromFile;

In this report, I have a component ppLabel for which I need to allocate the
return of an existent function in my unit in Delphi. Is that possible? How
do I do?

Thanks,
[]s,

Options:

1. Use RAP code (i.e. the Calc workspace included with ReportBuilder
Enterprise) to code an event-handler for the Label.OnPrint event. In the RAP
event-handler call your Delphi function. Note: You can easily extend RAP
with your custom functions that are registered to the CodeToolbox.

2. Use Delphi code to code an event-handler for the Label.OnPrint event. The
event-handler method must be a published method of the form/datamodule upon
which the Report component resides. When the template is loaded, then the
event-handler will be re-attached by the Delphi streaming system.

3. Set the Label.Caption after loading the report template. The report and
all components within it are Owned by the Form/DataModule. You can use the
FindComponent method of the Form/DataModule to retrieve the object by name.

var
lLabel: TComponent;
begin
lLabel := FindComponent('myLabel');
if (lLabel is TppLabel) then
TppLabel(lLabel).Caption := 'myCaption';

// or attach an event-handler

TppLabel.OnPrint := myLabelOnPrintHandler;


end;
