Creating Report with code

edited June 2002 in General
Hello:

I know how to create report with code but in case that there are more
than one DBPipeline how to fill the MasterFieldLinks?

Could you provide an example?

Thanks in advance... Jose Maria Sanmartin

    Tech Tip: Define Master/Detail DataPipeline Links in Code
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Defining a Master/Detail relationship for a DataPipeline
    requires that the detail pipeline have the
    following properties defined:

    1. MasterDataPipeline

    2. MasterFieldLinks


    At Delphi design-time you can use the object inspector
    and the DataPipeline's FieldLinks editor to define
    the master/detail relationship.


    The following example illustrates how to define the
    master/detail relationship dynamically at run-time.


    var
    lFieldLink: TppMasterFieldLink;


    begin

    {define the master/detail pipeline relationship}
    plDetail.MasterDataPipeline := plMaster;

    {create a new field link }
    lFieldLink := TppMasterFieldLink.Create(nil);

    lFieldLink.Parent := plDetail;

    {assign the detail field name}
    lFieldLink.DetailFieldName := 'CustNo';

    {assign the master field name}
    lFieldLink.MasterFieldName := 'CustNo';


    end;


    Note: The DataPipeline linking requires the records in the detail dataset to
    be ordered by the linking fields. In the above example, the detail data must
    be ordered by CustNo.
