DataDictionary generation in runtime

rbuser

Hi,

We are using RB 6.02. I'm trying to get the datadictionary at work. I quote
from the manualnotes.

'9. Add the following event handler
CreateDataDictionaryRecords(ppDataDyctionary1)
10. Add the following in the implementation section
uses
rbPopDD;
This code makes the CreateDataDictionryRecords procedure visible.... '

Problem is i don't find that unit, I need a way to generate the
datadictionary in runtime because we have bilingual field/table aliases.
Aliases are defined in a seperate table per language. I just need a way to
generate the datadictionary records in the appropriate language in runtime
(When changing language from within the app)

Thx,
Filip Moons

I don't want to display datadictionary builder form at runtime, i just need
to know how to generate the DataDictionary records (aka the missing event
handler 'CreateDataDictionaryRecords(ppDataDyctionary)')at runtime

Try checking out the code in daDataDictionaryBuilder.pas.

I checked the Developers Guide for ReportBuilder 7 but could not find the
text that you are quoting. Is that text located in a tutorial?

Yeh its in the reportbuilder developer's guide (Manual) page 389 section
'Adding DataDictionary Support to the End-User Application', no version
mentioned though.

You must have a very old version of the Developers Guide. I looked thru the
second and third editions and could find no reference to that code.
