  • Hi Py,

    Try adding ppTypes to your uses clause.

    Moving forward, we hope you will consider upgrading your version of
    ReportBuilder to the latest version (RB 15). We have been hard at work
    adding hundreds of new and e…
  • Hi Will,

    While we are not able to provide any future release dates I can tell you
    that the next maintenance release (RB 15.04) will include support for
    Delphi XE6.

  • Hi Petr,

    On my machine, using the example you sent, I am unable to recreate the
    behavior you describe with CachePages property set to False.

    If I load the report, then navigate to the last page (generating every
    pag…
  • Hi Petr,

    Thanks for the further information. I downloaded Process Explorer and
    took a look at some of the numbers while running your application.

    1. I assume you are referring to the Private Bytes field increasing when <…
  • Hi Petr,

    1. Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

    2. Are you using the Windows Task Manager to monitor your memory usage
    or a memory manager such as FastMM or AQTime?

    The CacheManager should …
  • Hi Andreas,

    I would suggest placing the images inside a page layer and simply toggle
    their visibility based on which page you are printing (perhaps using the
    OnStartPage event.

    If you would like to keep things even …
  • Hi Rene,

    I just tested the FromName property with RB 15.04 and Delphi XE5 and the
    property seemed to function correctly.

    This could be an Indy issue. Try upgrading to the latest version of
    Indy and see if that help…
  • Hi Peter,

    The richtext data is simply what the component is given. It is not
    altered in any way beyond what a TRichEdit in Delphi would do.

    You can access the raw RTF data using the TppRichText.RichText property.
  • Hi Peter,

    If possible, please send a simple example demonstrating this issue to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format. Please include a sample
    of two richtext documents that you are trying to merge but display this
  • Hi Philip,

    If you set Viewer.SinglePageOnly to True, does the issue still occur?
    If so, please create a simple demo I can run here that demonstrates this
    behavior and send it to support@ in .zip format.

  • Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and
    we'll send it to you as soon as possible. Note that this patch is only
    available for RB 15.04.

  • Hi Max,

    Thank you for pointing this out. There is now a patch available that
    makes this change.

  • Hi Howard,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Is this occurring at Delphi design-time or runtime? If you follow the
    steps below, do you still get no response from F1?

    1. Create a new Delphi app.
    2. Place a report on th…
  • Hi Howard,

    I just tested the F1 help integration with my installation of RB 15.04
    and Delphi XE5 and everything is working as expected.

    Is the RB help installed into the XE5 help system? For instance, if you
    open t…
  • Hi Philip,

    Report.AbsolutePageNo and Report.AbsolutePageCount respectively.

    Note that for page count you will need to have a two pass report.

  • Hi Nick,

    Are you referring to linking the subreport data to the main report data
    perhaps in a master-detail relationship? If so, take a look at the
    following article and demos in the main reports demo for examples of this.
  • Hi Nick,

    Be sure all your subreports have their ShiftRelativeTo property set to
    equal the subreport that is meant to be above it. For instance,
    Subreport2 should ShiftRelativeTo Subreport 1 and so on.

  • Hi Diego,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to display archived reports inside an
    actual TppReport.

    You could however create a main report with A3 paper setting, then place
    two Fixed style subreports inside sized to …
  • Hi Gunter,

    There are two options in this case.

    1. Create a main report with a detail band only. Place Section style
    subreports inside the detail band for each report to be merged and load
    the report templates into …
  • Hi Sergio,

    Where are the DBCalc components located in your report? If you wish to
    show the value of a DBCalc(s) outside the subreport(s), I recommend
    using TppVariable instead of DBCalc components.

    Take a look at t…
  • Hi Sergio,

    No need for an example.

    1. Open the designer to design a report.

    2. Inside the Report Tree (generally docked to the top left of the
    designer window) right click the "Design Layers" node and select "N…
  • Hi Sergio,

    1. If you would like a shape to occupy the entire report (page), you
    should consider using a page layer rather than placing a large shape
    inside the header band. This will essentially print the shape behind
    a…
  • Hi Kamran,

    Rotated text is supported for non-wrapped text componennts in
    ReportBuilder. You can use the Angle property of an Label or DBText to
    alter the rotation.

    It is on our list of possible enhancements to supp…
  • Hi Phil,

    ReportBuilder relies on the Locate routine to find the correct record
    when loading a template. You might need to trace further into the
    Delphi source and IBO source to see if there is a problem (error) when
    thi…
  • Hi Phil,

    This is not a known issue. You might try tracing into the
    TppTemplate.LoadFromSource routine to see exactly what is happening
    during the first call. My guess is that this is a field type issue.

    We did hav…
  • Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and
    purchasing email address for upgrade instructions.

  • Hi Joe,

    Please upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to the latest (15.04) and
    retest. If, after upgrading you still experience this issue, please
    create a simple example that demonstrates the problem and send it to
    sup…
  • Hi Philip,

    0. The Wikipedia page on QR Code is a good place to start. It's "Uses"
    section is fairly extensive. A Google search for QR Code Uses also
    gives an abundance of information.

  • Hi Ignacio,

    This is an interesting idea and would definitely be a cool feature to
    add to ReportBuilder.

    What type of component would you be interested in seeing in
    ReportBuilder? I assume you would like a control t…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Thanks for the clarification. This limitation is still present in the
    latest version of ReportBuilder.
