  • Hi Steve,

    First be sure you are using the latest version of RB (12.01).

    Does this happen with every report over 275 pages? If not, what is
    different about this report than the ones that do function correctly?
    Perha…
  • Hi Stephen,


    You are correct, this in how it is supposed to work :). There is now a
    patch available for RB…
  • Hi Stephen,

    An archive is essentially a binary representation of each TppPage object
    generated by the report engine. With the addition of the EmailGroups
    feature, the TppPage was given a EmailSettings property that is updated…
  • Hi Steve,

    I have tried sending the patch three times over the last three days. Check
    your junk email folder to be sure it is not being flagged as spam.

  • Hi Eug,

    It is currently not possible to store additional information with the
    archive file.

    What type of information would you like to store and how will it be used?

  • Hi Steve,

    If possible, please send a simple example demonstrating this behavior in
    .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for
    you.

  • Hi Fredrik,

    Sorry, this is a typo in the help. The event is FileDevice.OnPageReceive.
    I will fix this for the next release.

    ppReport.FileDevice.OnPageReceive := ReceivePageEvent;

  • Hi Ian,

    Take a look at the following article on properly refreshing a report after
    clicking a drawcommand.

  • Hi Davide,

    No, ReportBuilder 10 does not support Delphi 2010. We made countless
    changes and enhancements to properly support the Delphi 2009-2010 Unicode
    architecture. These changes are simply not present is the older versio…
  • Hi Mark,

    I'm very sorry, I somehow lost track of this post. For future reference if
    we do not respond to a post within 24 hours, please re-post to remind us.

  • Hi Mark,

    You can use the TppDesigner.OnReportSelected to determine when a new report
    or subreport is selected into the designer window.

  • Hi Mark,

    Oops, didn't see that. I will also expose the ReportTree property so you
    can change the ReadOnly property :)
  • Hi Mark,

    Looking at the source code, it does not look like it is currently possible
    to access the TppObjectTreeBuilder for the Report Tree at runtime. I will
    see about exposing this property for the next release (or adding th…
  • Hi Lithian,

    Take a look at demo 124 located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory.
    Inside the Report.BeforePrint it makes a call to the ppTextToPageList
    routine which can also be used with any file device to control the page …
  • Hi Eug,

    Initially a "message" page is sent to the device which does not contain any
    drawcommands or file information. This page object is ignored by the file
    device when sent to its ReceivePage routine. You can take a look a…
  • Hi Bert,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    My first suggestion would be to update your version of ReportBuilder to
    11.08. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com for upg…
  • Hi Adam,

    This is a known issue with ReportBuilder on Windows 7 machines. It has been
    fixed for the latest version of ReportBuilder.

    Moving forward, I highly recommend taking a look at ReportBuilder 12. We
    have mad…
  • Hi Steve,

    Looking at further changes we made (RB 10, 11, 12). Updating to the latest
    version will most likely solve the issue. We made some changes to the
    printer logic to specifically handle range check errors in versions l…
  • Hi Steve,

    This was not a known issue with RB 9.03. If you revert back to the original
    print dialog, do you still get the same error? Is is possible that your
    customer changed their printer or printer driver in the last month…
  • Hi Adam,

    The TppArchiveDevice class can be found in the ppFilDev.pas file.

  • Hi Adam,

    An archive is simply a snap-shot of a report that has already been
    generated. Everything that is displayed on screen/paper during the time of
    export, should be present when exporting to the archive file.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Yes, the templates created in RB 5.56 should load correctly in the latest
    version of ReportBuilder. If you have any issues during the upgrade
    process, please contact us and we'll find a solution for you.

  • Hi Lithian,

    The Datamatrix barcode type is something we would like to support for a
    later release and has been added to our possible enhancements list.
    Currently however you will need to render the barcodes using a third party…
  • Hi Mervin,

    ReportBuilder 11.08 does not natively support TeeChart 9 due to the fact
    that TeeChart was released after the release of 11.08.

    Updated TeeChart 9 files for RB 11.08 can be obtained by contacting
    support@…
  • Hi Joel,

    PDF actions are limited to simple hyperlink addresses created with the
    HyperLink feature in ReportBuilder. I will add enhancing this capability to
    support more advanced HTML commands to our list of possible improveme…
  • Hi Joel,

    We use the API command ShellExecute to open the web page from Delphi. You
    can see how we do this in the ppUtils.pas file (ppShellExec routine). You
    may be able to do something similar however I'm not sure if you can…
  • Hi Joel,

    The hyperlink feature is designed to simply open the web page defined. If
    you would like to take complete control over the clicking of a report
    component, try using the OnDrawCommandClick event

    in .zip format demonstrating this issue and I'll take a look at it for you.
    Also, which version of Delphi are you using?

  • Hi Nicola,

    Take a look at the Checkbox demo located in the \Demos\6. RCL\... directory
    (MyChkBox.pas). Pay particular attention to the property setters which will
    notify the report engine and design control that something has…
