Another question on ppExplorer

rbuser

Hi,

Is there a way of opening the report explorer and then moving to a
particular folder by code.
In this case over-riding the "Selected Folder" of the RBuilder.ini?
Ideally I would like to move to a folder by its name rather the folder_id?

Also - "This is not me complaining I like it the way it is, but I have a
very difficult to please customer"

My customer is complaining when highlighting a report they cannot tell which
folder they are on?
Yes I know they can see the path above the Item pane but that is apparently
too difficult for them.

Is there a way of showing the selected folder so it does not lose focus?
A bit like an "AlwaysShowSelection" property of a grid?
or maybe an "open folder" icon which is different colour to the
"closefolder" icon?

Thanks
Shahine

You can replace the existing report explorer form, by creating a custom
report explorer form descendant class and registering it with ReportBuilder.
The report explorer has a treeview and listview that are used to display the
folders and items. The default form is defined in ppExpFrm.pas. For an
example see RBuilder\Tutorials\Complete\Applications\End-User with Custom
Explorer

The TppReportExplorer class is a non visual class that creates an instance
of the registered report explorer form class.
