Upgrading to version 10.4

rbuser

I just upgraded from RB 7 to 10.4, with Delphi 7. In the report designer,
I've got a custom page were the user can enter information specific to our
app, like a report description that we display to tell them what the report
is for.

On the app's main form is a page control that contains all the components we
want to display on this tab of the report designer. Under RB7 I used this
command:

tabsheet1.pagecontrol:=ppdesigner1.notebook;

That would add that page onto the designer's PageControl. Now, it appears,
the designer no longer uses a PageControl. What's the best way to implement
this?

Hi Greg,

ReportBuilder now uses the TppTabbedNotebook class which manages the
equivalent of a PageControl with the new TBX toolbars. Take a look at the
ppTabbedNotebook.pas file for the source to this class.

You can manually add pages to the notebook using the Notebook.AddPage()
routine which returns you a TPage object that you can manipulate any way you
need.

FMyPage := ppDesigner1.Notebook.AddPage('My Page');
