TppReport.FindUserObject NOT inside Subreports, why?

rbuser

I need to know if a object named 'ausername' exists inside a loaded report
template, and I've seen that TppReport.FindUserObject(ausername: string)
method tries to find the 'ausername' object inside the 'self' report, its
bands and its groups, but it doesn't look for the 'ausername' object inside
its subreports, why?

Therefore, I've been obligated to make a recursive procedure that tries to
find the object into the report and its subreports.

Why does not the TppReport.FindUserObject(ausername: string) method
accomplish with that mission? Is an error or it has been designed as is?

Francisco,

Try using a report object loop as described in the article below.

----------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Loop Thru All Objects in a Report
---------------------------------------------

A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set
of components. The basic structure is

Reports.Bands[].Objects[]

The bands and objects within the report can
be accessed directly by object name or
via the Bands and Objects array properties.

Below is an example of using the Bands and
Objects array properties to change the font for
all objects on a report.


uses
ppClass;


procedure AssignFontToReport(aFont: TFont; aReport: TppCustomReport);
var
liBand: Integer;
liObject: Integer;
lObject: TppComponent;

begin

for liBand := 0 to aReport.BandCount-1 do

for liObject := 0 to aReport.Bands[liBand].ObjectCount-1 do
begin
lObject := aReport.Bands[liBand].Objects[liObject];

if lObject.HasFont then
lObject.Font := aFont;

end;

end;
