Dynamic number of columns

rbuser

Hi,
Is it possible to build visually, not in code, a report with dynamic number
of columns dependent on a collection of different values of a string field?
I don't mean a crosstab but a regular report.
Thank you,

Janusz,

Use the Report Wizard to do this.

Otherwise, the example below shows how to create a report by code using the
entered SQL. You should be able to use this along with the article below to
create some sort of visual control for creating dynamic columns.

Tech Tip: Create Reports in Code
---------------------------------------------

A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set of components. Like other
standard Delphi components, the components which make up the report layout
have a run-time interface. That is they can be created and configured using
Object Pascal code.


A complete example of creating a report entirely in code is contained in the
Developers Guide.

The Developers Guide is located in the ..\RBuilder\Developers Guide\
directory.
