FindUserObjectInComponent problem

rbuser

Hi,
I can't get FindUserObjectInComponent to work as expected.

E.g. if I call (after creating a simple report):

ppReport1.FindUserObjectInComponent(ppDBText1.Username,
ppReport1.DetailBand) it returns nil.


Maybe I misunderstood, but isn't this function supposed to return the
component with a username that exists in particular band on the report?


I am using RB 703, Delphi 7 on XP.

Thanks.
Morten

Hi Morten,

The FindUserObjectInComponent method is primarily used as an internal
function. You are however welcome to try to get it to work with your
application. The problem I see is that you are passing the DetailBand
object as the owner of the DBText. The band are not the owner of the report
components, they are only the parent objects. You will need to pass the
form object to get a correct output.

As an alternative you could create a report object loop to find certain
objects in a report. Check out the Tech-Tips newsgroup in the CodeBased
thread for more information on looping through report objects.
