XP Themes

rbuser

Delphi 5 Update Pack 2.
Report Builder 7.02

All,

Having enabled support for XP themes in my app and then encountering the
well known TListview problem, I decided that I would overcome this by
replacing all my TListviews with the excellent Virtual Treeview comp.

I still however have a problem when I want to edit my reports using the
Report Builder Designer, because it uses quite a number of ListViews in its
interface. I know I could re-implement my own designer......but that's a lot
of work.......so I thought "I know, those chaps at Digital Metaphors are
nice, I'll ask them if they can do anything."

So, would you.....can you.......will you.............please ;-)

Regards,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I spent some time researching this for you but it does not look as though
there is an easy way to accomplish what you are trying to do. The TppTreeVw
class descends from a normal Delphi TTreeView which is then in turn used all
over the TppDesigner (in hard code). One possible alternative you might
explore is to create an Adapter class for the Virtual TreeView you are
trying to use so that the Designer, as well as the rest of ReportBuilder
cannot tell the difference between the two. Otherwise, you will have to try
re-implementing the entire Report Designer which is possible but not
recommended.
