If you know the barcode component name then you can use that to reference
it. But since each report may be different, then perform a report object
loop to find the object based on the class name of that object after it has
been loaded… -
1. It shouldn't try to load a template when the form is created. Can you
send us an example and reproduce it with our demo end user report projects?
Send it to support@digital-metaphors.com

RB 7 does not support Delphi 4. We still offer RB 6.03 for Delphi 4. We
can send a source patch for RB 6.03 for Delphi 4 to fix a report generation
problem, at the time you upgrade.

There is no patch available since the fix is included in RB 7. You'll have
to upgrade to RB 7 to get the fix.

When I say regenerate, I mean it will dump the report output pages when
selecting a different printer to print to. The report will not reposition
the controls in the layout for the best fit given the selected printer.

You need to set the margins to be the largest one of all the printers. Then
this same report will use the same margins for every one printed.

The autosizing is determined by the rendering device, and is not set on the
width property of the control. Since you should not rely on the width
property, you need to measure the text width in code using the current
device's canvas.… -

One additional note, the best place to set set these properties is in the
global OnCreate event in RAP.

In RAP, you can code MyPipeline.RangeBegin := rbFirstRecord just like you
would in Delphi. See the EnumeratedTypes in the language tab of the code
toolbox for the TppRangeBeginType and TppRangeEndType as they are surfaced
in RAP. Yo… -

This demo should have used the group object's event, such as

No, I meant that there could be a viewer and an outline viewer together on a
form. Assign the Viewer property of the outline viewer to the viewer
component. Our default preview (TppPreview class) creates the outline viewer
