EAbstractError (TppReport.print) RBuilder 6.02 --> 7.02

rbuser

After doing the upgrading from RBuilder 6.02 to 7.02 I get an EAbstractError
each time I try to call the function Print from TppReport...

rbuser

Maybe the problem is solved when I open and close every report in the new
reportbuilder (to make sure they're recompiled with the new version)... But
then again... what to do with the end-user (custom made) reports? Is there
any way to automize a process that "upgrades" all of the own personal
reports from our customers?

rbuser

but then again... is the problem (EAbstractError) solved after open & close
in new reportbuilder???

rbuser

This is where it finally throws the abstract error :
FAutoSearchDialog.AssignAutoSearchFields(FAutoSearchFields); (in ppReport)

and indeed, when I look at ppForms, I see the following abstract function :
procedure AssignAutoSearchFields(aAutoSearchFields: TList); virtual;
abstract;

but then ... why did it work in RBuilder 6.02 and not anymore in RBuilder
7.02, what do I have to do to make it work?

Luk,

If you created a TppCustomAutoSearchDialog descendant then you need to
implement these methods or you will receive an abstract error. Check out
ppASDlg.pas for an example of implementing the abstract methods.

The reason this is happening in 7.02 is that the feature is new.

thnx!
It worked! I just needed to make a descendant and override the abstract
functions.
