  • Hi Jeff,

    I believe an issue similar to this was fixed for RB 14. I tried
    recreating this using the latest version of ReportBuilder but was unable
    to see the error.

    You might try downloading a trial copy of RB 15 an…
  • Hi David,

    The variable component calculates at a different time than the DBCalc so
    it is likely not finished with it's calculation before you are accessing
    its value.

    If you need an average in a Variable, I suggest …
  • Hi Nols,

    Have you considered using the built-in PDF and HTML devices included
    with ReportBuilder? Not only do we continually improve and enhance
    these devices, we also support them with the same quality that we
    support …
  • Hi Igor,

    There is a patch available that may fix this issue. Please send a short
    email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and we'll
    send it to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi Goran,

    This issue likely has nothing to do with the data itself. The threading
    architecture is constantly sending and receiving windows messages which
    can conflict with your application's other components.

    If fo…
  • Hi Goran,

    As a test, try setting the Report.PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly
    property to True and see if that solves the issue.

    This disables the new threading architecture used for multi-page
    previewing which may…
  • Hi Sander,

    We do not know of any Web Browser components built for ReportBuilder.
    You might take a look at TRichView, which has the ability to display
    HTML content and supports ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Herman,

    When using the EmbedFontList, the entries are compared to the TFont.Name
    property. The best method to ensure you have the correct name is to add
    the font name directly in code.

    PDFSettings.EmbedFontList.…
  • Hi Roman,

    There is a patch available for this issue. Send a small email to
    support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the patch.

  • This issue is being handled via email.

    The QRCode component in ReportBuilder currently supports ANSI encoding
    only. We will consider enhancing this to support UTF-8 for a later
    release of ReportBuilder.

    in QRCode Comment by nicocizik August 2013
  • Hi Roman,

    The Data property for the barcode is a String. Starting with Delphi
    2009, String = UnicodeString (UTF16). You can convert the UTF8 String
    to a UnicodeString in order to get the output you want.

    For older…

  • Hi Jeff,

    We are continually making improvements to report pagination and it is
    possible that a newer version would fix your issue. If you would like
    you can send me a simple example that demonstrates this issue in RB 11
  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuider. My first suggestion would
    be to start hiding(Visible := False) report components and commenting
    out any relating event code until the affected report runs correctly.
  • Hi Fellipe,

    When placing pipelines on the ancestor form, you need to be sure
    AutoCreateFields is set to False. This way the fields are not recreated
    for each descendent form.

  • Hi Andre,

    Mouse wheel support is present for the end-user designer/preview. I did
    a quick test with our main End-User demo and verified that the mouse
    wheel functions correctly when designing and previewing a report at runtim…
  • Hi Andreas,

    Take a look at the following article/examples on how to implement a
    standard header/footer with ReportBuilder. For your case, you will
    likely want to look at options 2 and 3.

  • Hi Eug,

    If you are using RB 14 or later, you can add a page layer to your report
    layout which is already sized to the size of the defined page. Then
    place the image on that layer and stretch it to the size of the page.
    <…
  • Hi Paul,

    Since most screens are limited to 96 ppi, adding a "high dpi" image to a
    report (or opening it in an image viewer) will simply give you a larger
    image. If you need to fit the image in a smaller space, ReportBuilder <…
  • Hi Fellipe,

    We are not aware of any errors when accessing pipeline fields. One
    option is to delete and re-add your pipelines to your project so the
    fields are refreshed the next time you run your application.

    Anoth…

  • Hi Michael,

    Based on your description this sounds like a memory or resource leak of
    some kind (either inside your application or ReportBuilder).

    Try running your application with a memory manager such as FastMM and
  • Hi Michael,

    Does this happen with every report you export with EmbedFontOptions set
    to AllFonts? Is there a certain font causing the issue? Which fonts
    are you using inside your report.

    When embedding all fonts, y…
  • Hi Daniel,

    TppPreview is what is known as a preview plugin (this one being the
    default plugin). The reason we use a plugin architecture is so that we
    can use the same previewer (code) when a user prints to screen
    (Repor…
  • Hi Ian,

    Here's some information on Design Layers. They can be useful for full
    page designs and report organization.

    Design Layers can be used to separate a report layout into logical
    layers. Every report layout alw…
  • Hi Ian,

    1. Section subreports print based on z-order. You can use the Bring
    Forward or Send Backward commands when right clicking over the subreport
    components to adjust this.

    2. The easiest way to center a static …
  • Hi Goran,

    Upon further research, the threaded page cache will in fact create
    temporary files in some cases and then remove them when it is finished.
    Looking at the code however, I cannot see how a "temp" file would be
  • Hi Goran,

    The language files are standard Windows .dlls. Windows needs to be able
    to access them in the standard way in order to properly load and use the
    files for translation.

  • Hi Ian,

    Are you writing this code in RAP? If so, you need to tab (bottom tabs)
    over to the subreport to access the components added to it.

  • Hi Philip,

    but I regret to say I cannot work out how to achieve this.

    Simply drop a report component (label, image, etc.) inside the table

  • Hi Robert,

    Take a look at the help topics for TppTableGrid and TppTableCell. These
    give a complete overview of how the TableGrid component is used in the
    designer as well as goes over all the associated properties for each
