The visual query tools in ReportBuilder have an open plug-in
architecture for supporting specific data connectivity components. See
the friends | data | DADE plug-ins section of our web site for a list of
available plug-ins.
Might be possible. I suppose the event-handlers could be attached in the
constructor of your report descendant. The Delphi design-time
environment is very sensitive (i.e. has the tendancy to AV alot if your
code does something t…
Sorry for any misunderstanding about this feature, but it is currently
supported only at run-time. The feature is working as designed - it is
not a bug. I know that is not what you want to hear, but it is the
truth. This feature…
1. Any reports that you open and save using RB 7 CANNOT be opened in a
prior version.
2. You CAN have RB 5.x installed for D5 and RB 7 installed for D7 on the
same machine - no problem there.
3. As Mike Leftwich…
There are no known issues with this feature.
I noticed in your example you have the incorrect enumerated types. It
should be ndBlankPage, ndShowDialog rather than bvBlankPage,
bvShowDialog.
Make sure that you ar…
See Report.NoDataBehaviors in the online help.
Perhaps I was not clear.
1. Modify the TWPCustomRichTextForPP code as I described.
2. Remove references to ppParentWnd from your code. The change in 1 above
enables a WinControl descendant to be created without assig…
ReportBuilder 7 no longer includes the global ppParentWnd due to
modifications required for thread-safety.
You have two choices:
1. Modify TWPCustomRichTextForPP (or create a descendant class).
Override th…
There is an example in the RB 7 source code. See
ppOutlineSettingPreviewThread.pas.
BTW, Anyone played with the cool Report | Outline Settings dialog yet?
It uses a report thread to generate a preview of what the rep…
I looked at the RB Source code. You need to set TppDrawLine.Weight. The
property type is Single. The value is in Twips. From the TppLine help
topic:
This property determines the width of the line. It is expressed in

Access the Delphi help. Select ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart. There are

1. Back up all of your reports.
2. Install RB 7 and open each report. Once the report has loaded, then
re-save it.
3. Test the report.

I think the TExtraOptions.HTML settings control how the file is produced.

1. Download the latest printer driver from the manufacturer's web site. That
fixes most issues.
2. Make sure that the logon account under which the application is executing
has full access rights to the printer.
1. If the printer is a network printer, then perhaps there is a network
problem. Try testing with a local printer to determine if there is an issue.
2. Make sure the machine has enough disk space to spool the jobs to the

I would estimate that 90-95% of printer related problems are solved by
updating the printer driver. That is why we suggest this.
We also suggest that customers send us demos that we can run here in the
debugger. We c…
Are there certain images that always fail or is the problem random?
Can you create a simple demo project that we can run here. If so send to

1. If you are using the BDE, increase the MaxBlobSize and BlobsToCache
settings.
2. Download the latest printer driver and retest.
3. Try testing with other printers.
4. If you are using a network printer,…
Make sure that you check for memory leaks AND resource leaks.
If you are using the BDE, increase the MaxBlobSize and BlobsToCache

I just tested this using RB 7.01 and DBDemos. I created a master/detail
report on customer/orders. I made the detail band of the subreport very tall
so that only two detail records can fit on a page. I created a PageStyle
band. …
Have never heard of this behavior before.
Try running the RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\ReportExplorer and test whether it
exhibits the same behavior.

in Pressing print button twice Comment by nardmoseley February 2003This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
There is no shrink to page setting in RB. In RB when you create a report
layout, you specify the page size and that is the size that will be printed.
One solution would be to write a wizard or layout generator that shrinks the

Use 2 subreports. Set each to PrintBehavior of pbFixed and TraverseAllData
to True. Size each subreport to occupy the required amount of page space.
Connect the first subreport to income data and the second to expendature
