No Rotation feature for labels, Memo and DB objects

rbuser

Hi,

Is there a way I can rotate objects (90, 180, 270 degree's)? I want to
print some data sideways on a report. Most of my data are horizontal, but I
have a few lines to put vertical. Any way to do this?

Thanks

Dominique

Dominique,

Lines can be drawn vertically by setting the TppLine.Position property to
lpLeft or lpRight. If you would like to rotate text, there is the
RotatedText add-on component available from our website
(http://www.digital-metaphors.com) in the friends | rcl section. This
add-on component allows you to assign an angle to a report label.

Thanks for the response. RB is a built-in feature from the software we
bought, am I still able to add this component to it? if yes, what is the
procedure to do this (High level).

Thanks

Dominique,

You will not be able to use any ReportBuilder add-on components if you do
not have Delphi and a full version of ReportBuilder (i.e. you're an
end-user). Try contacting the software vendor that sold you the application
you are using if you need these components.

There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
infomation.

Article: Learning ReportBuilder
--------------------------------

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.

Will do, as a reseller of the software, I think they would be interested in
the feature. I just though it might have been possible to do it without a
develloper's intervention.

Thanks for your help.
