RB and HTML rendering

rbuser

Hi there

I need to render HTML fields on a RB report.

Does anyone know of a control to use?

Has anyone used the WPTools (www.wptools.de) control to do this?

Any help would be great

Thanks
Darren

We aren't aware of any component which has been used to do this from an RB
preview. You may be able to use a JITPipeline feeding the hyperlinks to a
DBText component and hook into its OnDrawCommandClick event. Check out the
help topic for OnDrawCommandClick. A handle to the draw command object is
passed as a parameter of this method, and you can check its type to make
sure it is a TppDrawText and then pull the text from the drawcommand's text
property (which will be the hyperlink as a string). We haven't tried it,
but you should be able to research how to take this string web address and
launch a web browser which will direct the browser to the web page.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply Jim

I was more meaning is there a control that would display/render html (ie.
"This word is bold")

A control that can produce what the html would look like in a browser on the
RB canvas.

We have paras stored in the database that have formating using html tags. We
require to show these paras on a report with the correct formating


Thanks
