Sounds good in theory, but in practice porting a large complex code base

Ok, great.
I do not why the TppSearchOperatorType and TdaCriteriaOperatorType were

I am not sure I understand the context of the question. When you say runtime
do you mean using the end-user report designer? Or do you mean
programmatically by writing code?

Sorry, but there is not a margin property for the Border at this time....

You can use the detailband BeforePrint event to resize the objects in the
detail band.
You can check the DetailBand.Count property to determine how many times the
band has printed on the current page. If the value zero, …
For a subreport set to PrintBehavior of pbChild, use the Title/Summary or
GroupHeader/GroupFooter bands. The page header/footer are not supported
because the child subreport prints on the parent's page space.

Yes, that makes sense. The TRichEdit is a visual control and as such it can

The other files that you mentioned would only be created for debugging in
the first case (which is not on) and for a report that has CachePages set to
True and runs out of memory. This would be rare - definitely not for a 10-20
1. We have examples of using RB Server Edition to build an ISAPI WebTier
that uses TExtraDevices to output to PDF. In this context our solution
outputs the results to a temp file. (The WebTier maintains a file based
cache).
We have never performed that type of test. Try creating some simple tests
and see what produces the best results.

in Custom shapes? Comment by nardmoseley September 2005
I think for a simple shape, I would use the PaintBox or Image. I think those
both produce a TppImageDrawCommand - which would be supported by the PDF
export.
If you are using the native PDF export, then adding a custom c…
Options:
1. Create a TmyShape component as has already been discussed.
2. There is freeware TwPaintBox component on our RCL Download page. It
provides a canvas that you can draw to.
