Newbie - Read value from Registry

rbuser

Hello!
I've just converted from QR/QRD to ReportBuilderPro, and I do not regret. It
is the best report package in the marked I think. No, no, it's no need to
rise the prices!
Is there a simple way to read in a variable from the registry and place it
as a text label in a RTM file?
Kind regards
TorB

Hi TorB,

(please use your fullname)

If you have a problem with accessing the registry, then please look in
Delphi help for TRegistry ...
If you are storing RTMs as Text, then there is no problem to create/edit a
TppLabel for that purpose.

Hello Chris!
Thank you for your help, and sorry for not using my full name. This should
be ok now.
Maybe I explained myself a little clumsy, but I know how to read/write
strings from/to the registry in Delphi.
But the problem is in fact the following:
1. My program stores some information in the registry (user's name ++)
2. All my reports are loaded from RTM-files
3. I want some fields on the printout to contain the information from the
registry that I have stored
This is really the problem, and I wonder if there is a quick way here that I
have missed.
In QRD we used an expression field and just typed in the parameters/keys
from the registry.
Is there something ekvivalent i RB?
I'm not sure that I know what you meen by storing the report as text. Well,
I do not use a database for the reports, if this is what you mean.
Kind regards
Tor Breines

Hi Tor,

use a JIT-Pipeline to show data from outside a database.
There are several examples in the demos and tech-tips.
