Changing class inheritance

rbuser

Hi,

in Version 5.56 we used TSpecialRichtext=class((TppDBRichText), as the
texts are stored statically in our DB.
After my investigations now I have to they that this decision of our
system-architecture was and is wrong.
Normally it should be TSpecialRichtext=class((TppRichText).
I can made these code changes, but I do not know what happens with our
reports when migratin from 5.56 to 16.03 including this change?

Will reports containing old TSpecialRichtext still work with the new
implementation. I assume, but can anyone confirm?

Hi Carsten,

In the current version of ReportBuilder TppDBRichText and TppRichText
both descend from the TppCustomRichText class. If you take a look at
the TppRichText and TppDBRichText classes you will see that they are
fairly minimal with most of the processing and features being in the
ancestor.

I suggest checking your code to be sure no features exclusive to
DBRichText are being used. If not, you should not have an issue
descending from TppRichText.

Refactored component to TPPRichtext, works now as before!
