Report designer

rbuser

Hi,

RbPro 15.02, Delphi XE4


Two issues with the Report designer:

This first one occurs if you set the windows DPI to a value other then the
default 96.
I have my system at 120 DPI. If i drag a field from the datatree to the
layout the font-size is larger then expected. Ie i set the font size to 10
(on the layout tab of de datatree). The component font-size then becomes
12. Seems that its multiplied by 120/96, size 20 gives 25.

The second one if you set the zoom factor of the editor to other then 100%.
If you then drag a field from the datatree to the layout the component is
not placed at the drop position. With a larger zoomfactor the component can
be placed out of view so its seems that nothing happened.

Max,

I created a patch to resolve the issue when using the DataTree drag-n-drop
feature on a scaled workspace (This is a workspace zoom issue, the error
appears at 96 DPI or any other). I emailed you the patch. Registered RB
15.02 developers can email support@ and request the patch.

In my testing, I could not reproduce the other issue. The DataTree
drag-n-drop always set the Font.Size to the size specified by the DataTree
Layout tab. Note that the font size for Label and DataField components is
specified separately. Try is again, if you have some more specific steps to
recreate let me know.


Best regards,

Hi Nard,

Thanks for the fast reply, applied the patch, problem solved.

About the other issue. I can reproduce in the report designer as compiled in
our application. But not with the installed design-time package. So its
somewhere in our code. We do some extra scaling for non standard dpi's,
that seems to conflict with RbPro. Sorry about this false alarm.


Thanks again,
