JIT-based report doesn't display data

rbuser

I'm missing something really simple here. I have an object with published
properties to supply values to my one-page report. (I know there are other
ways to do this, but ...). The jitpipe.GetFieldValue event handler appears
to fire and retrieve the correct values, but the report displays blanks. I
close the pipeline, set recordcount to 1, open it, then print. What am I
failing to do? I have other reports that work, and have compared them &
don't see any differences.

Curiously, even fields where I use OnGetText don't show data. I guess it
must be something with advancing the page, but I am drawing a total blank.

donno. I work with JIT's all the time. Is the TppDBText's ".Visible"
property set to true?

I would look at the DFM of the report and see if you can see it there.

Ed, yes, the TppDBTexts are indeed visible. And the font is Black. I was
wrong when I said the onGet events weren't working -- they really are (I
have a label with dynamic caption, so I can see that it is rendered
correctly.)

Just for drill, I added an OnGetText to a dbtext and put showmessage(text)
into it. Curiously, it displays 3 times, and each time it is blank.

Here's my JITpipeline OnGetFieldValue handler .. the showmessage cycles
through the fields 3 times, displaying correct fieldnames and results.

function TfrmEDIprint.plEDIprintGetFieldValue(aFieldName: String): Variant;
begin
result := oEDIitem.propertyByName(aFieldName);
ShowMessage(aFieldName+' -- '+ Result);
end;

can you reproduce this in a small demo?

send it to my last name @ tb inc . com (no spaces there)

The answer is -- I didn't instantiate the fields in the pipeline. Instead,
I copied the names into the DataField property of the tppdbtext. Oh well.
Don't do this often enough, I guess.

Anyway, Ed - thanks for your help.
