  • Hi Jair,

    Take a look at the following article/example.

  • Hi Michael,

    I apologize, I did not notice that the UpdateScrollBars routine was not
    virtual.

    I believe the issue is that the viewer was not designed to have the
    scrollbars replaced. It uses a TScrollBox and relies …
  • Hi Michael,

    The UpdateScrollbars is a protected routine. Creating a simple
    descendent to the TppViewer class and overriding the routine would
    likely be the easiest way to accomplish what you need.

  • Peter,

    I'm very sorry you are frustrated with this issue. Please understand
    that simply describing a report as complex as yours does not give us
    enough information to track down any issues that may arise or to
    recreate …
  • Hi Peter,

    The events are firing as designed. I am unsure how your report is
    designed (attachments are blocked from this newsgroup), but the proper
    way to calculate a running percentage of a total value is by using the
    m…
  • Hi Tony,

    All calculations should be made in the OnCalc event of a TppVariable.
    This is the only event that is designed to fire only once per traversal.
    Take a look at the following articles on making calculations inside a
  • Hi Jeff,

    I'm a bit unclear about which components you are using. Are you using a
    JITPipeline or a TextPipeline?

    Either way, you will need to define the fields that will be accessed
    using the pipeline field editor.<…
  • Hi Craig,

    The built-in ReportBuilder PDF export does not currently support
    bookmarks. This is a feature we may research and possibly add to a
    later release. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi Bill,

    Thanks for the suggestions, we appreciate all user feedback.

    I'm a bit unclear about how you would change the KeepTogether feature.
    The idea is that if a stretchable component runs off a page, the entire
    co…
  • Hi Eric,

    Are you by chance loading templates? If so you need to load the
    template before setting these properties. Otherwise the settings made
    when the template was saved will override them. This can be done either
    af…
  • There were a few PDF related fixes made to RB 10.07 however I cannot
    guarantee that they will solve your specific problem.

    The best course of action is to install RB 10.09 and test.

  • Hi Dharmesh,

    This is not a known issue with RB 10.0. My first suggestion would be to
    upgrade to the latest version of RB 10 (10.09) and see if that helps the
    problem. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com for upgrade instructio…
  • Hi Jeff,

    This is likely a data issue. The DBText you mention, which pipeline is
    it connected to? Are you certain there is a detail record for the
    master? Is the DBText being placed in the main report's Detail band or
  • Hi Wolfgang,

    This is an open issue that we are still researching that only affects
    Delphi 2007 installations.

    Please send a small email to support@digital-metaphors.com and we will
    provide you with the manually comp…
  • Hi Gerd,

    We have not seen this behavior before however it may be an issue with
    the pagination logic. If possible, please send a simple example in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com that demonstrates the problem
  • Hi Gerd,

    Please send a simple example of this to support@ in .zip format and
    we'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Gerd,

    As Nard mentioned in your other post, setting the visibility of a region
    without resetting the ShiftRelativeTo properties can cause numerous
    problems. I suggest creating a separate routine to loop through all
    r…
  • Hi Gerd,

    In my testing, the keeptogether feature of the TppRegion is working as
    designed. If the region becomes larger than the space available on the
    page, it moves the entire region to the next page.

    At what poin…
  • Hi Ronald,

    Definition of the TppSummaryBand from our help:

    "The summary band prints at once at the end of the report."

    ReportBuilder does not have the concept of a Keeptogether band. If you
    would like to keep …
  • Hi Gerd,

    I would stay solution 1. If I understand correctly, if there is not
    enough room to fit the dynamic summary band on the last page of the
    report, you would simply like to move to the next page? If this is the
    ca…
  • Hi Greg,

    This is not a known issue. ReportBuilder simply uses a wrapper around
    the actual TeeChart component. If perhaps you try placing a TChart on a
    form and creating the same chart as inside the report, do you get the
  • Hi David,

    This error implies that there is a reference to an event handler saved
    with the template being loaded that does not exist in Delphi code.

    The template object has two properties to suppress these errors. Use
  • Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the info. I believe the problem is that there is a
    RB/TeeChart runtime package (rbTC*.bpl or rbTC*.dcp) on your machine
    still being pulled in that was generated with the included version of
    TeeChart…
  • Hi Steve,

    Hmm, this is interesting. As a test, try loading the
    RBTeePackageBuilder.exe application once again and before selecting to
    install TeeChart, let me know the information given in the Edit boxes at
    the top. (T…
  • Hi Steve,

    Tee9150.bpl is the TeeChart package installed with Delphi. The entry
    was apparently not removed when you installed the registered copy of
    TeeChart 9. In the Delphi IDE, select the Component | Install Packages
  • Hi Steve,

    The registered version of Teechart 2011 Standard will work fine. This
    is what I have installed on my machine with Delphi XE.

    If you do end up purchasing TeeChart, you will want to install it, then
    follow …
  • Hi Steve,

    If you would like to use the standard version of TeeChart shipped with
    Delphi in the runtime designer, you will either need to build your
    application with runtime packages or purchase a registered copy of
    TeeCh…
  • Hi Nicholas,

    The QuoteChar property is not natively available in RAP. A pass-thru
    function would be necessary to access it from within the template.

    Thanks for the feedback, we will consider adding a property to alter th…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Try taking a look at the following article on how to fill a page with
    lines. You should be able to use a combination of this with some
    pass-thru functions to get the result you need.

  • Hi Wolfgang,

    This code was removed due to the fact that is was causing issues with
    numerous printers. We left it up to the developer to determine the
    capabilities of the printer used in order to manually set the
