Get database connection

rbuser

Hi there!

In a custom report explorer based on your tutorial i have added a couple of
menues. Through this menues i need to get the current databaseconnection to
do a update on a custom field in rb_item. I use TADOConnection to a
mssql-server in delphi 2007 and RB 11.02.

Is there a way i can get this connection or the connectionstring?

Best regards,
Terje

From the explorer form, you can use the GetReportExplorer function to access
the ReportExplorer component.

The ReportExplorer.Owner is the Form that contiains all of the components
you see at Delphi design-time.

Therefore, you can use Form.GetComponent('ComponentName') to access to any
component.

Example:

lOwner := GetReportExplorer.Owner;

lADOConnection := TADOConnection(lOwner.FindComponent('myADOConnection');
