changing label caption...

rbuser

Hi,

I have tried in many ways, but without successs... i want to change a
caption in a report. at runtime.

Using QuickReport i can use the code Reports.QRLabel1.text:='MyText'. Easy.
But how can i do this in ReportBuilder. Is there some way?

Thank you!
Tonis.

Each label of the report has also a name, so just use the name of the label
component:

MyReportLabel.Caption := 'Your caption';

Thanks,

but i have still a trouble. I know i have to try something you suggested,
but i do not find a place where to write that. I have a report (component
for report) ppReport1. I this report i have a caption called Label1. I want,
that after i click on the button, label1 will get some sort of value. for
example i have tried to use code

ppReport1.Label1.caption:=Form1.Edit1.text;
ppReport1Label1.caption:=Form1.Edit1.text;

in the onclick event. But they are giving me errors that (Label1 and
ppReport1Label) are undeclared.

So where i have to type this code?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Tonis.

Easy.

If you are in Delphi, then the Form owns the Label1 component (see the class
declaration of the form unit). It is visible inside the Form unit and you
should have full control over it your OnClick event.

As answered from e-mail:
It indicates to me that the report isn't in the same form that the button. So
include in the uses clause the unit wherethe report is. If it's a datamodule
then write something like:

MyDataModule.Label1.Caption := 'you caption';
If it's a form:
MyForm.Label1.Caption := 'you caption';

Look that you don't write MyReport.Label1.Caption but simply Label1.Caption
preceeded by the form or datamodule name.
good luck , bye
