Problem with re-compiling of packages in RB7 D5 (Links on "*76.*" - D6 files)

rbuser

I use: Windows XP SP 2, Delphi 5.0, ReportBuilder EE 7.02

I need: I changed files ppCTDlg.pas and ppCTMain.pas and I want re-compile
and install packages which rely on this files.

Problem: Some packages rely on files with "*76.*" (RB7 for D6), but I have
only with "*75.*" (RB7 for D5).

Please give step-by-step advice, which packages and how (in which Delphi) I
must re-compile.

Best regards. Vladimir Panormov

Vladimir,

If you are running ReportBuilder 7.02 for Delphi 5, you should not have any
packages that rely on files with the "76" extention. This could be a
corrupt installation or you could be experiencing a version conflict. We
are not able to support users that re-build our packages with their own
code.

Hi, Nico!

Thanks for answer. And "answer such as question" (Russian proverb). It's my
mistake. I not described the problem very well. I would try to make
desription of my problem more extended.

I USE: Windows XP SP 2, Delphi 5.0, ReportBuilder EE 7.02 (Clear, right
install)

I NEED: I disign crosstab object by it method Edit. This method create form
(TppCustomCrossTabDesignerForm). In this form user can create new elements
in crosstab. Default properties of element font is set in RB unit
ppCTMain.pas as next

constructor TppElement.Create(aOwner: TComponent);
begin

inherited Create(aOwner);

FFont := TFont.Create;
FFont.Name := 'Arial';
FFont.Size := 10;

FAlignment := taCenter;
FColor := clWhite;
FDataType := dtString;
FDisplayFormat := '';
FName := '';
FVisible := True;

end; {constructor, Create}

But it is not good. I need to use font "Arial Cyr" with russian charset.
Also I need to change other font properies (charset, size, DisplayFormat).

PROBLEM:
1. How I can set other default properties for new crosstab element. It
means, in TppCustomCrossTabDesignerForm before user begin work with this
form.

2. How I can set other default DisplayFormat properties ('#,0.00;-#,0.00')
only for new value dimension. It means, in TppCustomCrossTabDesignerForm
before user begin work with this form.

Please give step-by-step advice for supporting by you solution.

Best regards. Vladimir Panormov.

Hi Vladimir,

1. The CrossTab.Font should pass thru to your report with the character set
you define. There should be no need to create a new element to do this.

2. It is possible to change/replace the display format. See the example
below for more information.
