Access to variables from Code

rbuser

How do I access a global variable from code? Can I access global contstants
as well? I would like to set the value of the global constant from code?

Thanks,

I assume you mean RAP global variables/constants. You could provide these
values from the report to you Delphi code via a pass through function that
you would call from RAP to which sets variables in your Delphi code. To set
the value of the RAP global constant, use another pass through function to
set it using RAP's global OnCreate event to get the value from your Delphi
code.

Is it not possible to access the RAP global variables/constants from code
via the TppReport object or something similiar?

Thanks,

Scott.

RAP pass-thru functions are the way to go on this one.

It does not appear that you can set the value of a Global Constant using a
RAP Pass-Thru function however you can set a Global Variable.

I need the ability to get the value of a Global Variable (or Global
Constant) in a report from Delphi code. Is it possible to access the Global
Variables in a report from Delphi code.

Thanks,

You'll have to write a RAP pass through function that you call from RAP
which sets a Delphi variable's value to the RAP global variable value.
