Problems with keyboard-shortcuts?

rbuser

Hi!

We?ve recently updated from rBuilder 9.03 to 10.09. So far everything
works fine, but I recognized that I can?t use the keyboard shortcuts in
the report designer. Especially for copy and paste (Ctrl+v and Ctrl+v)
this is very annoying since I have to use the menu then.

I have no idea where the problem could arise from. Do you any ideas?

Regards

Ralf

I just noticed that the problem only exists in the Design-Tab. In the
Calc-Tab I can copy and paste via keyboard just as normal...

Hi Ralf,

This is not a known issue. In my quick testing at design-time and runtime
with RB 10.09 and RB 11, I was able to successfully copy and paste any
report components using the keyboard shortcuts ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

Make sure that the design workspace has focus. One way to do this it to use
the mouse to click in the workspace area. If the object inspector or report
tree or format toolbar etc. has focus then key strokes are captured by those
controls.

Hi!

I?ve played around with rBuilder in my report.dll once more and I found
out that the keyboard hotkeys only don?t work in the design workspace. In
the report tree or the properties tree I can still use for example ctrl+c
and ctrl+v although all of these areas are on the desgin tab next to each
other...

I also compiled our report.dll on a different machine: same problem
I also tried the dll on different machines: same problem

Our report.dll is called by a .net-Application. At first I thought that
the event for the hotkeys could be catched by this application but that?s
not the case.

Then I made a little delphi test application that simply opens a report
designer with a new empty report and to my suprise the hotkeys did work
there without my problem.

I guess that means that the problem is primarily caused by my/our product
but I can?t imagine what I?m doing wrong. I just use

ppDesigner.ShowModal;

to open the designer and some few other settings, but none of them is
called something like "EnableDesignerWorkspaceHotkeys = false;".

It also seems odd to me that the problem initially occured with our
upgrade from rBuilder 9.3 to 10.9...

Well, like I already said, I have no idea of the cause of that problem. It
would be great if you would have one ;-)

I also have another question: Like I already mentioned my department
bought an upgrade to rbuilder 10.9 three weeks ago. Now I noticed that one
week ago the rBuilder 11 was released. Is it possible to get the newer
version for my department for free (If I had known of a release date I
would have waited those few days). Who do I have to contact for that?

Regards

Ralf

Free upgrades from RB 10 to RB 11 are available for customers that purchased
in the last 6 months (March 1, 2008 or after). Email notifications have been
sent out. If you did not receive email notification, please send your serial
number and registration info to info@digital-metaphors.com and request it.

Try running the DLL example installed to RBuilder\Demos\DLL. In my testing
with RB 10.09, the keyboard shortcuts work correctly.

Hi!

I?ve upgraded to RBuilder 11 today and checked the problem again with no
luck. By the way I recognized that when pressing Ctrl, some blue
arrangement lines appear along the focused control.
That?s also a strange thing: I can still use Ctrl + ArrowKey to move a
control on the designer workspace while for example using Ctrl + Z for
Undo won?t work.

I also believe that the problem is not caused by the fact that we use
rBuilder via dll.

I don?t have any clue what to do about that problem. For now it is not
critical to me because most of our reports are already created and used...

Well, perhaps someday I can find the solution...

Regards

Ralf
