  • Hi Desiree,

    As I mentioned before in your previous post, simply setting the font of the
    ppRichText will not change the font inside the RichText itself. You either
    need to save the RTF data with the smaller font or you need to…

    Please send a simple example demonstrating this issue in .zip format to

  • Enrico,

    I'm very sorry you are having issues but your post does not help solve it.
    So far I have not received an example demonstrating the problem from you and
    have seen all other customers' issues with PDF image quality solve…
    in Bad image quality in PDF Comment by nicocizik February 2011
  • Hi Lucian,

    Thanks for the clarification. I had thought you were using a single static
    height detail band.

    One option is to create a PageStyle band and place the images inside it.
    The PageStyle can be the height of …
    in placing images on a page Comment by nicocizik February 2011
  • Hi Lucian,

    1. The OnEndPage event fires too late to add a component to the report.
    You will need to use an event that fires before the detail band is generated
    (Band.BeforePrint, Report.OnStartPage).

    2. It does no…

  • Hi Mark,

    Thanks for pointing this out. I created a patch for RB 12.04 that alters
    the CopyNo option to honor the DisplayFormat property when more than one
    copy is printed. Contact support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the…

  • Hi Anf,

    Just because you add a field to your query/table, does not mean that you
    need to add it to the Crosstab itself. The crosstab will sort based on
    the key field of the dataset regardless if it is used or not.

    in CrossTab Sorting Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Anf,

    This option is not available for RB 10.09.

    One workaround is to create a new field in your dataset containing letters
    or numbers (a-z) and setting that as the key field. Then the crosstab
    component will use…

  • Hi Anf,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? ReportBuilder 11 and later
    includes support for no-sort crosstabs leaving the natural order when
    generated.

    I followed the exact steps you described below and a combo box is

    Sorry for the delay in the response. For future reference, it is
    sometimes easier to keep one issue to one thread. This way we do not
    have to research multiple items before responding and it helps keep each

    This was changed for RB 12 to facilitate the ability to join with fields
    from multiple tables.

  • Hi Anf,

    If you need the original demos, you need to reinstall ReportBuilder.
    The default location of the demos is found by following the directions
    below. Also another article on the registration of components.

    in CrossTab - Cannot modify caption text Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Anf,

    Which event(s) are you using to alter the cell text? Take a look at the
    crosstab examples on using custom text located in the
    \Demos\Crosstabs\... directory for more information on which events
    should be used.
    in CrossTab - Cannot modify caption text Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Ken,

    There is no built-in way to detect the last detail band on a page. The
    report engine itself does not know until it runs out of room. Couldn't
    you use the EndPage event to gather any information needed from the page <…
    in End of Page Group Detection Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Ken,

    In this case your best bet would be to manually keep track of which
    group you are currently on. Create a class variable that stores the
    current break value for the group and compare it to the group's break
    value…
    in End of Page Group Detection Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Ken,

    If I understand correctly (and please tell me if I'm incorrect) is that
    you would like to display the running balance at the bottom of each page
    even if the group spans multiple pages, and also keep a grand total at
    in End of Page Group Detection Comment by nicocizik March 2011
  • Hi Ken,

    The easiest way to find out of a group has broken or not is to use the
    BeforeGroupBreak or AfterGroupBreak events. You can set a variable
    inside one of these events and check it to be sure the group has not broken.

  • Hi Steve,

    1. Yes, you need to have ppSMTPCustom in your uses clause to use the
    RegisterClass routines.

    2. Yes, once you register a plugin, that plugin will be used to send all
    emails until another is registered.

    Take a look at the JITPipeline. This gives you full control over how
    you retrieve data to be placed inside a report. Take a look at the
    JITPipeline demos located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory.

    I tested this and was able to recreate the issue. I will take a look at
    the problem however it seems it is caused by the outside parenthesis

    Try setting the DetailBand.PrintCount to 1. This will limit the detail
    band from printing more than once per page.

  • Hi Ken,

    Same concept, only use a TppDrawText rather than a TppDrawLine. See the
    ppDrwCmd.pas file for the drawcommand class definitions.

  • Hi Gary,

    1. The poLandscape and poPortrait enumerated types can be found in the
