  • Hi Jon,

    Sorry for the delay.

    This is not a known issue. Is this the only machine that this occurs on?
    Does this happen with every report (even a minimal report)?

  • Hi Lars,

    What exactly are you trying to accomplish inside the OnGetAutoSearchValues
    event? Would it be possible to move this code to another event? From
    looking at our source, this event is not meant to be fired manually unl…
  • Hi Lars,

    Is there a reason you are calling PrintToDevices rather than Print? Calling
    Report.Print with the ShowAutoSearchDialog property set to False will fire
    the OnGetAutoSearchValues event and keep the dialog from showing.…
  • Hi Lars,

    The intent of PrintToDevices is simply generate the report pages to
    connected devices (Viewer, Archive, Printer, etc). The developer has total
    control over which dialogs you want to show etc. The Print method will

    You should have access to the entire windows pallet when selecting shape
    colors. Are you using the Brush.Color pull-down in the object inspector to
    select the color. If so, try using the Fill Color drop-down of the…

  • Hi Luke,

    There is now a Synapse email plugin available for RB 10.07. If you or
    anyone following this thread would like the plugin, please send a small
    email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting it.

  • Hi Brian,

    If your queries are too complex to create using the Query Designer (or
    SQLBuilder), then you will need to create then manually in the SQL tab as
    you mentioned. This however brings up a limitation in DADE that you wi…

  • Hi Brian,

    The latest version of ReportBuilder includes the TdaSQLBuilder object which
    makes accessing and altering the SQL object much easier and efficient. I
    would recommend using this feature to gain access to the SQL objec…
  • Hi Ennio,

    Please change the subject when posting about a new topic.

    There are currently no components that allow you to embed a PDF file in a
    report. One option is to convert your PDF file into a format that can be

    In my quick testing with SQL Server 2005 and ReportBuilder 10.07, I was able
    to select all tables and views at runtime and designtime.

  • Hi Rob,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

    Which database and connectivity are you using? Currently most plugins are
    set up to display tables and views however sometimes it is necessary to
    enh…
  • Hi Rob,

    The Query Designer in ReportBuilder does not support joining on other joins.
    One option may be to create a view of the two inner joins, then preform the
    right outer join in ReportBuilder on that view. Another option w…
  • Hi Robert,

    If you assign the Report.DeviceType property to Printer and also set the
    Report.AllowPrintToFile property to True, the Print To File checkbox will be
    available yet unchecked in the print dialog.

  • Hi,

    The zoom percentage of the previewer can be controlled by the
    Report.PreviewFormSettings.ZoomPercentage property. Setting this to 100
    will give you the effect you are after.

  • Hi Alexander,

    Embedded fonts is currently not supported with the built-in PDF device.
    This is an addition that we are strongly considering for the next major
    release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Stacey,

    Depending on which database you are connecting to and which connectivity you
    are using, ReportBuilder uses the SQL statements you mention below to
    retrieve the schema of a table. These queries should be used for an…
  • Hi Martin,

    Where in this code does the AV occur? Try tracing into the RBuilder source
    and see why the AV is occuring. Also, you may want to try altering your
    second report to try to isolate the specific code that is causing …
  • Hi Martin,

    I'm unclear what you mean by Report1, Report2, etc. Are you running these
    reports in succession or are these subreports in a main report? How do
    these reports relate to eachother and how are you loading them.
  • Hi Martin,

    Sorry, I forgot to include code in my example to actually add the
    drawcommand to the page :).
  • Hi Martin,

    Yes, sorry, it is most likely too late to create TppLabels at this time.
    One option would be to directly create drawcommands and place them on the
    page where you need them. Something like the following...

  • Hi Martin,

    Have you tried setting the label caption equal to the aText parameter?
    There should be no need to access the value of the cell using the Element
    parameter.

  • Martin,

    My first guess would be that the column you are trying to access is nil.
    Where are you calling this code?

    I would suggest using the crosstab events such as the OnGetValueText event
    to assign the values of th…
  • Hi Bob,

    The SQL object checks the reserved function list to see if the function you
    are defining can be used by calling the daGetFunctionList routine located in
    the daSQLReservedWords.pas file. You can see that this list is v…
  • Hi Bob,

    Which database are you using? Does the Query designer actually create the
    SQL correctly when viewing it in the SQL tab? You might try getting the
    query working first without RB then try to recreate it in the Query
  • Hi Kim,

    ReportBuilder does not currently include a feature to export an entire
    report to an image. This is something we may consider adding to a later
    release. There are a couple third party export utilities that do provide …
  • Hi Johannes,

    In order to add non-visible characters to a 2DBarcode you need to use the
    hexidecimal representation in your data string. For instance....

    TwoDBarCode1.Data := 'TEST1' + #9 + 'Test2';

    The Chr() ro…
  • Hi Isaac,

    Thanks for the feedback, we will consider this enhancement for a later

  • > ok but if I want to make a rounded rectangle over a detail group

    In this case you can either create an image that displays the rounded corner
    and use that in the report as a TppImage, or you can use lines and circles
