Checkbox style property

rbuser

Hi,

I have 2 checkboxes on an end user report that are being set via RAP code. I
am using the BeforePrint event of the relevant band.

Basically when another boolean variable value is true I want to set
Checkbox1.Style := csCheckMark and when it is false set Checkbox1.Style :=
csXMark, however it always just shows a tick (checkmark).

I can set the CheckBox1.Checked property to true or false in the same RAP
calc and it works as expected, it is just the Style property that won't
work. If I set the Style property manually in the designer to 'Checkmark
only' or 'X only' it displays OK so I know it is not a font issue.

Thanks,

Rick.

I created a simple test case and did not encounter any issues.

- I created a report with a Checkbox in the detail band

- I used the DetailBand.BeforePrint to implement the following code.

if (Checkbox1.Style = csCheckMark) then
Checkbox1.Style := csXMark
else
Checkbox1.Style := csCheckMark;


When I preview the report, the result produced is alternating check-mark and
X-marks down the page.


- I tried a second test using the CheckMark.OnPrint event and that worked as
well.


I used RB 10.04 for my testing.

Hi Nard,

Thanks for the suggestion but your code didn't work either. I noticed in
another thread ('TmyDBCheckBox and color' in the general group) that there
was a patch to enable the use of the color property in a checkbox. Could it
be that the Style property has also recently been fixed / enabled ? If so
could you email me the relevant patch ? Time constraints do not allow me to
upgrade to version 10 at the moment.

TIA

Rick.

As I sated before - I used RB 10.04 for my testing.

What version of ReportBuilder are you using? (Check the Help | About box of
the Report Designer).

For future reference, when posting, please specify the Delphi version and RB
version that you are using.
