OnGetText Event

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report that I am creating entirely in code. It consists of a main
report with mulitple number of childreports placed in the detail band. In
one of my DBText components, I need to change the value of the DBText.Text
after it gets it's value from the DBText.DataField. How do I call on the
DBText.OnGetText Event in code. So far I haven't had any luck. Any help
would be appreicated.

Thank You,

1. Create a procedure with the same parameters that the expected for the event

procedure MyGetTextProc(Sender: TObject; var Text: String);
begin
....
Text := YourValue;
end;

2. Assign that procedure to your component's OnGetText event when create it:

MyLabel.OnGetText := MyGetTextProc;

Hi Jada,

you don't have to call an event, you have to assign an event handler for it.

myDBText.OnGetText := myDBTextOnGetText;

define the event handler as follows

procedure myDBTextOnGetText(var Text : String);

Jada,

please see Guillermo's answer, he used the right syntax for Delphi, mine was
for RAP.
