    Tech Tip: How to Programmatically Load Reports that were Saved
    using the Report Explorer
    ----------------------------------------…

  • What version of RB are you using? Check the Help | About box of the report
    designer.

    If you are not using RB 10.07, then try updating. I think we modified the
    timing of when RBuilder.ini is first accessed, I do not recal…

    Tech Tip: RBuilder Ini Storage
    ----------------------------------------------------

    For an end-user reporting application, use the TppDesigner IniStorageType
    and

  • The TppRichText creates a TRichEdit to use internally, but it is not exposed
    via a property. You could try using the TppRichText.Components[ ] array to
    gain access to it (TppRichText is the Owner of the TRichEdit).



  • Thanks for the feedback. Another customer recently reported the issue with
    the Variable Timing dialog not drawing correctly - this has been updated to
    use group boxes for the next release. In earlier versions we used Bevels and

  • For others reading this thread, an example project was submitted to
    support@digital-metaphors.com. The issue was improper implementation of
    JITPipeline event-handler. Proper implementation is covered in the
    Developers Guide t…

  • You can use Delphi to implement event-handlers - just as you do for other
    Delphi components. Select a component - such as a Band or DBText and then
    use the Delphi object inspector.

    I recommend working thru the Developers…
  • RB Enterprise includes RAP (the run-time Pascal environment that adds the
    Calc tab).

    The same Developers Guide is included with Std, Pro, Enterprise Editions.

    You may want to upgrade from RB Pro to Enterprise.


  • Add the appropriate units to the 'uses' clause of your application.

    The following articles lists which units to add for the build-in RB
    components.

  • I recommend updating to the latest release.

    RB 5 was release in 2000, yes things have improved since then :)
  • On solution is to use a JITPipeline that contains a Field to represent each
    parameter. Set JITPipeline.RecordCount to 1 and implement the
    OnGetFieldValue event to return the parameter value.

    Then in the report layouts you can …

  • TppBand defines BeforePrint, AfterPrint etc. as a published properties. All
    bands descend from TppBand.

    Either of these will compile....

    ppReport1.DetailBand.BeforePrint := ehDetail_BeforePrint;

    or

  • I just emailed you a patch that corrects the issue with using OnGetText with

    Registered users of RB 10.07 can email support@digital-metaphors.com and

    I was really hoping that one of you could provide an example that we could
    analyze here.

  • Try to recreate more closely your actual report. Check whether it happens
    with all of your reports or only some of them. If not all them, then try to
    isolate the differences. Have a closer look at what you are doing that might

  • We cannot reproduce the issue here.

    1. Are you using RB's Data workspace to build queries? Or placing data
    components on a form/datamodule. If you are placing the data components on a

  • ReportBuilder Server can load reports from .rtm that contain images, so it
    definitely works. RB Server can run as a Windows Service and is
    multi-threaded.

    Check that the Service App has included ppJPEG in the uses clause…

  • RB 10 internally leverages TStringList.CommaText to parse the items. (Prior
    RB versions do not do this, so you might need to update).

    For your example, I would try the following

    '"Doe, John", "Smith, James'"

  • RB 10 is being upated with maintenance releases - RB 10.01, RB 10.02, ...
    RB 10.08. This is what you are referring to as a service pack, except we
    simply rebuild the entire product.

    RB 10.08 is available to all register…
  • Thanks for sending the example.

    A patch is now available for RB 10.08.

  • Can you try using RB 5 to create an example that uses the DBDemos or
    Interbase Employee data. Create a Delphi project with a single report. Then
    zip it up and email to support@digital-metaphors.com. We can run the example

    report. Make sure you do not have any code that manipulates the data
