  • Hi Nick,

    Thanks for pointing this out. We are able to reproduce the problem and
    are currently researching a permanent solution.

    Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com to receive a patch that
    will resolve th…
  • Hello,

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

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Language is
    adjusted by setting the LanguageID property of the repor…
  • Hi Oliver,

    1. This is not a known issue and I was unable to recreate this behavior
    with a simple app on my machine. Using Delphi 7 and RB 14.07, I place a
    report and a button on a form and enabled the EmailSettings. Then fro…
  • Hi Sergio,

    Templates will only save references to Delphi events. The best way to
    save event code with a report template is to do so with RAP. Using RAP,
    you can keep all event code with each individual report so there is no …
  • Hi Al,

    My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB 11.08. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com for upgrade instructions.

    Is there any event code associated with these subreports? If so, try
    commenting out the code…
  • Hi Vilmar,

    There is likely an older source, .dcu, or package file still on your
    machine being pulled in when you compile. Please perform a corrupt
    install cleanup and reinstall ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Simon,

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

    The PDF device is widely used by out Server edition of ReportBuilder
    which requires a thread safe environment. This devi…
  • Hi Simon,

    As a test, try setting the Report.PDFSettings.UseJPEGCompression
    property to False (in code before printing) and see if that solves the
    issue. I would like to see if the new JPEG processing is causing the
    issu…
  • Hi Howard,

    At Delphi design-time, if SaveAsTemplate is True, the report only saves
    and loads the report definition from the defined template file. If
    SaveAsTemplate is False, the report definition is saved and loaded from
  • Hi Howard,

    My guess is that you have the Report.SaveAsTemplate property set to
    True. When this property is set to True, the report expects its
    definition to be inside a template file defined by the Report.Template
    prope…
  • Hi Rene,

    Thanks for the clarification. If you would like to know which device
    the user selected from the Print Dialog, you need to check the
    Report.PrintDialog.DeviceType property instead of the Report.DeviceType
    proper…
  • Hi Rene,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I'm a bit unclear about your second issue. Are you printing from the
    built-in previewer? If you create a minimal application (Report and
    button on a form) are you unable to export…
  • Hi Rene,

    The designer itself does not have a single popup menu. Each component
    and band control contain a separate popup menu object. If you would
    like to add an item, you would basically need to create new popup menu
  • Hi Nick,

    You can access all the printer options by selecting the "properties"
    button of the Print Dialog.

    Duplex can also be controlled from the report designer
    (PrinterSetup.Duplex property).

  • Hi Philip,

    When are you receiving the AV's? If it is during the TeeChart
    integration step of the installation, you can try to manually run the
    RB/TeeChart package installer and see if you get the same issues.

    If ev…
  • HI Philip,

    The TeeChart installer should have moved the older files to a back-up
    folder during installation. This is likely the reason you were getting
    the error.

    Nevertheless, it is probably a good idea re-install…
  • Hi Philip,

    Your application is likely pulling in an older .dcu or package that was
    compiled with an earlier version of TeeChart.

    Please perform a corrupt install cleanup to completely remove all RB
    related files fro…
  • Hi Mika,

    The MasterFieldLinks property is just a place holder so users can access
    the FieldLink Editor at design-time. If you would like to access the
    link objects created with the FieldLink editor in code, you will need to <…
  • Hi Dirk,

    Built-in QR Code and Datamatrix barcode support was added for the latest
    version of ReportBuilder (RB 15).

    See all the new features added for the latest release here.

    in Qr GS1 Barcode Comment by nicocizik July 2013
  • Hi Dirk,

    ReportBuilder does not currently include QR Code support. This however
    is a feature that we would definitely like to add to the product for a
    later release as it it requested fairly frequently.

    Take a look…
  • Hi Philip,

    Please contact support@digital-metaphors.com for more information on
    GridPack.

  • Hi Arturo,

    You can access existing groups in code using the Report.Groups property.
    From there you can adjust the field used for a specific group using
    the FieldName property. Something like the following...

  • Hi Arturo,

    Take a look at the following article on creating groups in code.

  • Hi Walter,

    ReportBuilder does not define which port to use when sending email using
    the Indy plugin. It is up to you to define the port manually in code
    before sending an email. See the following article on customizing Indy …
  • Jeff,

    The cancel dialog is designed to close once the report has finished
    generating. It would be possible for you to create a new dialog that
    pops up after the report is finished to give your customer a summary of
    the …
  • Hi Massimo,

    Yes, the purpose of the registration architecture is to allow the use of
    custom dialogs at any time (before the forms are created).

  • Hi Steve,

    Take a look at the following article on currency formatting in
    ReportBuilder. As Paul mentioned, one way to work around your issue is
    to create a simple TppDisplayFormat descendent that does the work for
    you. …
  • Andreas,

    Form fields in the preview is currently not a supported feature of
    ReportBuilder. You could possibly make each editable text object
    clickable which would then bring up a dialog to edit it an re-generate
    the rep…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    I tried your steps below but was not able to reproduce the same results.
    The RTFSettings were not added until RB 12 so there is no reason this
    property will be False when loading a template created with RB 11.
  • Hi Jeroen,

    I am unable to recreate this with the End User demo provided with
    ReportBuilder.

    The UsePrecisionLines property defaults to True. If I create a new
    report, set it to false, save it then reload the report…
