DbChart in a ISAPI DLL

rbuser

I'm using ReportBuilder Reports with TXtraDevices in a ISAPI DLL.
This gives me great web Reports.
Now i would like to include a DbChart
But while compiling i'm missing the ieditcha.dcu file
Any suggestions ?

Hi Harry,

I don't know if the following helps, it's from the tech-tips section ...


----------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Resolving Compile Error w\TeeChart
----------------------------------------------


When using TeeChart and ReportBuilder in Delphi you will encounter this
error message upon compiling.

In order to get around it you can:

1. Build your project with packages.

2. Purchase TeeChart Pro from www.teemach.com

The TeeChart author did not include all of the units to TeeChart in the
free version included with Delphi. (TeeMach the authors of TeeChart do
not receive any money from Borland for the inclusion of TeeChart with
Delphi).

I've purchased these components.
Version Pro 5.0
I couldn't install it as long as I had the TeeCharT Support for
ReportBuilder installed (dclRBC66.bpl), i took this one out, then i could
install the TeeChart Pro.

But the same message comes up when reinstalling the RB package, a TeeAbout
Components already exists.

I Supose I can solve this easily (I Hope), any suggestions ???

You need the exact Teechart version 5.02a in order to have it work correctly
with RB 6.03.

I'm having the TeeChart Pro v5.02, D6
I hope the Pro hasn't anythinh to do with it.

Ok,

First I deinstalled RB en TCPro, then install TCPro, then RB, working fine.
(Found this help on the TeeChart Newsgroups)

When having questions on a report that implements a TeeChart, where do i
have to post my questions ?
Will you support some help (ex on datasources) or do I have to go to the
TeeChart Newsgroups ?

RB has two components which wrap around a Teechart component (TppTeeChart
and TppDPTeeChart). The visual editor and chart component are the same as
if you set them in code for a Teechart control on a form.

If you have a question on creating a chart in code, then you should probably
get a better repsonse from the Teechart authors. If you have a question on
how to change which page the chart should print on, then ask us.

See Ed Dressel's (Team DM) response on a Teechart thread in this newsgroup
on March 15, 2002. He offers to show some code snippets if you request
them, and he has very interesting approach to his charts in reports:)

To set the datasource of a chart, you'll need to set the datasource property
on the Series (see below). You'll have to edit the other properties of the
Series objects, as you normally would for a Teechart created for a TForm, in
code. Sorry, we don't have any examples of creating a charting report
entirely in code.

uses
ppDB;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lDataPipeline: TppDataPipeline;
begin
lDataPipeline := ppReport1.DataPipeline;

ppDPTeeChart1.Chart.Series[0].DataSource := lDataPipeline;
end;
