Report Builder and Multilizer

rbuser

I need help with a translation issue:

We use Multilizer 4.2 and ReportBuilder 4 and we are experiencing the
following problems with our Japanese customers:

On the Report Builder Preview Form (mainly for the Cancel/Close button on
the top of the screen) and Report Builder Print Dialog, the strings are
translated but some of them are not displayed properly. If you look at the
string it look like garbage characters instead of Japanese characters.

We have experienced this on other areas of the system that does not use
Report Builder. In all the cases we could fix it by calling
"IvTranslator1.Translate" at the end of the FormCreate procedure. But in the
Report Builder case we don't have control over these forms (Preview and
Print screens). I actually tried to call "IvTranslator1.Translate" on the
OnPreviewFormCreate and on the OnPrintDialogCreate events of the tppReport
component but it didn't solve the problem. I also added a TIvDialogModule
component in the same form as the tppReport but the problem remains.

Operational System: Japanese Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950B
Machine: Omron RS6500

Thanks in advance for your help,

Luciana,

All forms in ReportBuilder are replaceable. It is possible to create a
descendent of the print dialog, along with any other forms that are not
displaying properly, and have that reflect the language/position changes you
need. For an example of creating a custom Print Dialog, follow the link
below.
