Dynamic creation of report, possible to set the theme?

rbuser

In our programs we dynamic create the report for end users,
TppDesigner.create(self) ... etc

In version 10.01 we saw that the designer has a theme you can select by
the menu View-->Themes

Question: Can the value of the Themes also be set from the delphi program
at runtime? We have not found a property for this. Any help wold be welcome.

Kind regards,



We use the following:

Delphi 7
ReportBuilder Pro 10.01

Tech Tip: ReportBuilder Themes
-------------------------------------

ReportBuilder 10 introduces support for Themes (Skins). There are a couple
of options for specifying which theme is used.


1. Report Designer

From the Report Designer select View | Themes from the main menu and then
select the theme that you would like to use. The specified theme will be
stored in RBuilder.ini and used as the default theme the next time you run
RB.


2. RBuilder.ini.

When deploying an application, you can deploy RBuilder.ini so that
ReportBuilder will use a specific theme.


3. TppThemeManager

At run-time TppThemeManager can be used to programmatically use specify a
theme.

TppThemeManager is defined in ppToolbarTBX.pas. Here are the public class
methods.

TppThemeManager = class
public
class function GetCurrentThemeName: String;
class procedure GetThemeNames(aThemeNames: TStrings);
class procedure SavePreferences;
class procedure SetCurrentTheme(aThemeName: String);
end;


Example:

uses
ppToolbarTBX;


TppThemeManager.SetCurrentTheme(Office2003');
