Ivan,
Please either submit to the newsgroup or email support if it's the same
question, but not both. Thanks.
Here is an earlier reply to the query.

To find out where the report is curren… -
You can create a custom component the either descends from TppLine or
TppCustomGraphic. Lines are rendered as this rectangles. If you descend from
TppLine then you should only have to override the PaintDesignControl and

Can you print fine if you set the DeviceType to a non-TExtraDev device,
something like Text? If so then this is a TExtraDev issue. You can of course
simply build with range-checking turned off as this doesn't see like a fatal

Is your library path set properly so that Delphi can find the TeeChart
units?

You can send us the report. We can trace through the convert routines even
though we can't actually run the report over data.

Can you send us the report- we can run it here in 6.03 to see why it isn't
converting. Please send it to support@digital-metaphors.com

We would normally install 5.55 to test this, but unfortunately, last week we
lost all of our installation programs from our network and we are currently
attempting to recover them from backups but have been unable to recover them

This is charwrapping. The string is wrapped based on individual characters,
not expressions. You can either write your own wrapping logic or insert
spaces into the string to break up the expressions and use wordwrapping.

Reconnect the event handler after loading the template using the
Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event.
procedure TForm1.LoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppReport1.OnPreviewFormCreate := PreviewFormCreateEvent;
end;Yes, please send it to support@digital-metaphors.com, thanks.

You wouldn't want to assign headers exactly like this. However, this
approach might work for you as you have described it. Since you have two
header band objects, you could loop through the target header band and free
all of the cont…Templates and inheritance do not mix. Anyway, let's save the subreport idea
for future report solutions. To convert your 45 reports, you can
sequentially load the 45 templates into one report object. When the report
template is loa…The point that I should have made more clear is that you do not have to
rebuild your 45 reports by hand. You can write a program to load the
reports and change the header bands in code. You can either change them

template in to the subreport for the header content. This is demonstrated
in the RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\DynamicSubreportLoading project. You could

the Report.OnPreviewFormCreate event. btw. what is 'blnPrintVisible '.
PS. The getter could be simplified as below:

toggle to specify whether the button should be shown. Then you don't have to
worry about switching up forms and only use one.

Cheers,To force a page break after each detail you can:
1. Create a group around the detail band, set it on a custom invisible
label, and implement the OnGetText event of the label returning a different

Digital Metaphors…If you've followed all the tips in the article there isn't much else you can
