Report Explorer
Hi,
Is it possible to use the Report Explorer as a stand-alone tool. I don't
want to use the Designer or even use it for reporting but just rather use
the "exploer" functionality. I realize I would have to override the Open
method. Basically, I want to use the same rbFolder and rbItem data
structure but instead of it opening reports, I want to use it to open text
that I have saved in the Memo of the rbItem table. What would I have to do
to get this working without the TppDesigner and TppReport. I basically want
to use the TppReportExplorer and TppReportExplorerForm and then override the
Open and provide my own Save through my Designer which will basically be a
text editor.
Thanks,
Scott

The Report Explorer is not intended to be used with anything but Report
template files. It is possible to completely replace the report explorer
with your own custom version. See the Custom Explorer tutorial located in
the Tutorials directory.
