OnGetDisplayFormats not firering?

rbuser

Hi,

We are upgrading from RbPro 7.03 tot 11.05R3 (Delphi 2006)

But now the TppDesigner.OnGetDisplayFormat event does not get fired anymore.

Did some debugging and found that in TppComponentPopupMenu.SendDesignMessage
(unit ppPopmenus) FComponent is used. But that field is nil at
user-designtime and no message is send. Should that function use the
Component property?

As an experiment i changed the SendDesignMessage function and now
OnGetDisplayFormat is firering again but its not helping. The Sender
argument of the event should be the component on the report but is now of
type TppDesignEventHub.

So how can i get OnGetDisplayFormat working again?

Thanks for reporting this issue - it will be fixed for the next maintenance
release. (The fix requires modifying the implementation section of a unit,
therefore it cannot be fixed with a patch.)

The OnGetDisplayFormats event is retained for backward compability.

The recommended approach for customizing the DsiplayFormats is to create a
descendant of TppDsiplayFormat and register it with RB.
