  • Hi Stef,

    Please send a simple example demonstrating this issue with detailed
    instructions on how to recreate the problem. Send the example in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com.

  • Hi Philip,

    Thanks for the information. Do you see this behavior by simply having
    GridPack installed or does there need to be GridPack components present
    inside the report? If possible, please send me a simple example
    demo…
  • Hi Stef,

    As I mentioned in my previous post to Philip, I was unable to recreate this
    on my machine with the main end-user demo (no GridPack installed). Are you
    able to recreate this behavior with a simple demo app? If so, plea…
  • Hi Philip,

    Are you able to recreate this using one of our demo applications? In my
    testing with the end-user demo located in the \Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report
    Explorer\... the reports function correctly in the designer and in …
  • HI Fabio,

    Use the ShiftRelativeTo property of the subreports to ensure they start
    immediately after the previous one finishes.

    Subreport2.ShiftRelativeTo := Subreport1;
    Subreport3.ShiftRelativeTo := Subreport2;
  • Hi David,

    Yes, I first suggest getting this working in Delphi, then moving the code to
    RAP. It may require a passthru function.

    in Row caption for a Left to Right traversal Comment by nicocizik December 2010
  • Hi Petter,

    Sorry, I was not aware the example did not function with Left-To-Right
    columns.

    The simplest option in this case would be to manually add text drawcommands
    to the left of the page lined up with each row. …
  • Hi Petter,

    Take a look at the following article/example on how to create header and
    footer columns for a report with detail columns. It is a bit of a stretch
    but it will give you the effect you are after if done correctly.
  • Hi Carlos,

    Where are you changing the paper properties in your application? (Which
    event).

    If you manually change the paper name and printer name at design-time, are
    you able to print properly?

  • Hi Carlos,

    No problem, thanks for updating your name.

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using? Where
    are you changing the paper properties in your application? If you manually
    load a repo…
  • Hi Willie,

    raCodMod is a RAP file and is only included in the Enterprise and Server
    versions of ReportBuilder. Are you sure you are installing the correct
    edition of ReportBuilder?

  • Hi CD,

    Instead of manually assigning the bin name, try using the
    PrinterSetup.BinNames property so you can be sure you are using the correct
    value.

    Report.PrinterSetup.Binname := Report.PrinterSetup.Binnames[3];
  • Hi Jeff,

    You will need to upgrade to the latest version of ReportBuilder to natively
    use this barcode with ReportBuilder. If you are able to generate the
    barcode separate from RB, you could possibly add it to a report using a…
  • Hi Philip,

    ReportBuilder does not currently fully support automatically exporting or
    printing faxable reports. It is possible to export a report to a Tiff file
    and fax it however it requires a few settings to be made. Please c…
  • Hi John,

    The report is going to generate before the email is actually sent (or even
    begins to send). Below is the order of operation for reference.

    1. Email Dialog opened.
    2. The report is exported to file (generated…
  • Hi Alan,

    Try setting the Report.PDFSettings.ScaleImages property to False. This will
    remove any image optimization and export the full image.

  • Hi Rene,

    Try moving this code to the Band.BeforePrint event rather than the OnPrint.
    You may be changing the font too late for the report to make a change before
    printing.

  • Hello,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    I would suggest using a Report Parameter tied to an AutoSearch field in
    DADE. You can manually place the parameter in the SQL…
  • Hi Paul,

    Are you able to reliably create this error with a set of steps? If so,
    please send the steps I can take (perhaps with the end-user demo) to
    recreate the problem here and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi George,

    Yes, please send the example to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format
    and I'll take a look at it for you.

    in XE Update 1, RB 12.03, TeeChart conflict Comment by nicocizik December 2010
  • Hi George,

    The reason I'm asking about old .dcu files is that I'm chacking to see if
    your dll is being built with outdated or incorrect TeeChart files which is
    in turn causing problems. Are you able to run the dll demo we pro…
  • Hi George,

    1. Are you able to create a stand alone exe that uses a Report with a chart
    in it successfully?

    2. Which version of TeeChart are you using?

    3. Note that when installing Update 1, the standard versi…
  • Hi Andreas,

    This was a limitation of earlier versions of ReportBuilder. I would first
    suggest upgrading to RB 9.03 and testing with that. Then perhaps try
    downloading a trial copy of the latest version (12.03) and test your …
  • Hello,

    ReportBuilder does not have any built-in features to print a datagrid
    directly however it would easily be possible to loop thr…

  • Hi Whit,

    I would first recommend upgrading to the latest version of ReportBulder,
    12.03. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for
    upgrade instructions.

    If after you upgrade, you still have iss…
  • Hi Mikko,

    Does this behavior happen with every report? (If you create an empty
    report, place a label on it and export it to PDF, is the label not
    visible?). If you would like you can send me a simple example of a report

  • Hi Stuart,

    This is a feature we would like to add for a future release of
    ReportBuilder. As you can tell by the complexity of the currnt PDF device,
    creating a component that reads PDF content would be a major feature that
