Input dialog

rbuser

Hello All,

Creating a timesheet report and need to give the customer a dialog to enter
the starting date. Can a popup dialog like the autosearch be created. The
Autosearch is based on database criteria, but this report is just a grid
with the week dates. What is need is to retrieve a dialog value and assign
it to a calc variable.

What I have done now in RAP is to get the current day and finding the date
for the next Monday. The only problem with this: the customer may want to
print a couple weeks of timesheets or have to reprint a past date time
sheet. The only way they would be able to that is to change system date and
rerun program. Any ideas?


Thanks,
Bo

You can define Report.Parameters[] to hold the values of the parameters.

You can define a custom RAP pass-thru function that displays a custom input
form. Run the RBuilder\Demos\Rap\Main\Rap.dpr application. Demo 35 contains
an example that displays a custom dialog. The source to the custom RAP
function used in the demo is located in myRapFuncs0035.pas.
