  • To create custom dialogs, etc I recommend that you consult the source code
    installed to RBuilder\Source.

    The PrintDialog.Report property provides access to the report. This property
    is declared in the ancestor TppForm cl…
  • Sorry, the only LRB available is the one on our web site. It is built using
    RB 9.

  • Try setting SaveAsTemplate to True, after you load the .rtm.

    When you load a report definition (.rtm), all of the published properties of
    the TppReport are set to the values that were saved to the .rtm.

    You can over…

  • Based upon your description I am going to make a couple of assumptions

    1. You are using the Calc workspace of the Report Designer (i.e. RAP). (If
    so, its better to post this question in the RAP newsgroups so we know
    auto…

  • See the following article and the CodeBase thread of the Tech Tips
    newsgroup.

    Tech Tip: Create Reports in Code
    ---------------------------------------------

  • Contact info@digital-metaphors.com about getting an update to the latest
    release RB 9.02. We have a patch available for RB 9.02 that is related to
    calculations.It contains a fix for cases in which a main report Variable is
    i…

  • One option is to use the events that you found. Another option is to create
    a languation translation. (I am not aware of an available translation for
    Croatian)


    ------------------------------------------------------…

  • 1. Open the report in Delphi IDE. Then use the Delphi object inspector.

    2,. For RB 9 we added an object inspector to the ReportDesigner and that
    shows the property as well.

    3. Normally the AutoStop property is handl…

  • Try the following steps:

    1. Open crosstab demo 127 in the report designer.

    2. Set Report.AutoStop to False.

    Now preview the report and notice that it generates 600 plus pages.

    Return to the Design wo…

  • Try setting Report.DataPipeline to nil (none).

    A report will generate one detail band for each row in the datapipeline to
    which it is assigned.

  • I researched this and performed some simple tests.

    1. Modifying the Font size does work, but you have to use the crosstab
    designer to select each of the pieces of text that are displayed (caption,
    value, calcs, etc) and …

  • The standard way to suppress information is to either use a Query to select
    only the records that you want to print or use the Band.BeforePrint event to
    set the Band.Visible property. (It is also possible to use the DataPipeline <…

  • There is no way to do that.

    Crosstab demos 124 and 125 show how to use the OnGetDimensionValue and
    OnCalcDimensionValue events to control what values are used to perform
    calculations. However, the subtotals and grand tot…

  • If you would like to create a simple example we can run it here and test it
    using the latest release, RB 9.02. That is the version that we are actively
    supporting. Please use standard components and one of the sample databases

  • You can trace the source code by modifying the Delphi library to include
    RBuilder\Source rather than RBuilder\Lib.The code in ppPrnDev.pas is used to
    render to the printer. And the code in ppPrintr.pas.

    If the report wor…

  • We've used and tested Lexmark, HP, Epson, and Oki here for years.

    You are not describing what issue you have?

  • For a plug-in, a typical approach would be to have the plug-in make one or
    more registration calls in the Initialization section of the unit. You see
    this quite a bit in our code. For an example see RBuilder\Demos\RCL.

    Y…

  • The idea behind packages is that you separate the classes (i.e. code) into
    discreet compilable units (packages). However, there is usually not a .dll
    style export function required.

    You simply build your application with…

  • Try calling ArchiveReader.Reset. That will close the file.

  • I recommend that you purchase the registered version of TeeChart.

    The version bundled with Delphi has limitations that we cannot get around.
    Digital Metaphors is not trying to make you purchase TeeChart, we have no
    affiliation…

  • That's a limitation that exists when using TeeChart 4.04. Access the
    RBuilder.hlp, select the Table of Contents, and then select ReportBuilder
    Reference | TeeChart | Delphi X where X is the version of Delphi that you
    are usin…

  • That's a limitation. We researched this in the past, but have not been to
    find a soltuion or work around.

  • 1. In your Delphi library path, add an entry for RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee700 -
    prior to the entry for RBuilder\Lib.

    2. When you rebuild the TeeChart source and packages, then check the
    RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee700 directory to …

  • The RBuilder.hlp lists TeeChart 6.01 and TeeChart 5.02 as working. I think
    that is accurate.

    Its probably going to be simpler to compile the Tee700 packages.

  • I have Delphi 6 installed with RB 9.02 and it works properly. We have many
    customers ussing Delphi 6 and RB 9.02 successfully.

    I think the issue is related to RB for D6 when used with TeeChart 7.04. Here
    is an tech tip a…

  • I suggest that we create a listing on the DADE plug-ins page of our web
    site. The listing can contain a description and a link to email a specified
    address at your company or a link to a download page or URL on your web
    site.…

  • You have developed a plug-in? If the answer is yes and you would like to
    share it, we can make it available on the download section of our web site.

  • Sorry, but we do not have a plug-in for RemObjects at this time.

    This is something that we would like to develop for the future.

  • Add myChkbox and myChkboxDesign to the 'uses' clause.

  • The check box is still included. See RBuilder\Demos\RCL for the source. The
    RB installation program should install it.

    The designer related code has been moved to myChkboxDesign.pas, so you need
    to include that in an end…
