in Changing the Font of a DBRichtext Comment by nicocizik January 2007 -
Hi Walter,
Sorry, yes you will need to create a pass-thru function to access the
various properties of the TTextAttributes object. In your message below you
mention that you already do this. Is this not working or are you re… -
Hi Walter,
In order to change the text attributes of a richtext component, you will
need to use the TppRichText properties SelText, SelLength, SelStart to
define the text to be altered, then assign the attrubutes using theHi Max,
Take a look at the following example. This example is not coded in RAP
however there should be no problem moving the code to RAP if you need.
in Printing "Continue" on first page of a group Comment by nicocizik January 2007Hi Tim,
This should be possible however it looks like the TppMatrix properties are
not natively available in RAP. One option would be to create a RAP passthru
function to access the Matrix.Value property outside of RAP. See …Hi Chris,

Inside the DetailBand.BeforPrint event, you can toggle the visibility of the
entire detail band based on a single condition. Another way would be to

Ah, yes I did misread your post. It looks as though it does not cause an
error just as long as the descendent is the same. I suppose Delphi is
letting us get away with something there.
I'm not sure why …Hi Jeroen,
I'm glad you got it working. I'm unsure why you are getting a compile error
when using the example. It seems to work correctly for me. The signature
for the pass-thru function asks for a TppDrawCommand object so …Hi Jeroen,
I created a small example that does this in RAP for you. It looks like you
need to add TdaSQLBuilder.ApplyUpdates before you free the object, and you
need to set the RedrawPage property in the pass-thru function. …Hi Jeroen,
Sorry, I failed to give you the entire solution.

This may be too early to access the group. I would suggest you try getting

Which event are you altering the size of the label? This will need to be

Typecasting in RAP is very limited and in some cases very difficult to work
with. We are constantly working to improve the way they are handled but due
to some possible early design flaws, it is an ongoing struggle…Hi Avi,

My first suggestion would be to upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to RB
7.04 and see if the problem still occurs. If so, set your library path to
RBuilder\Source and see if you are able to trace into the RBuilde…Hi Michael,
My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB 9.03 and see if that fixes the
issue. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and

in Change TmyDBCheckBox.Style in RAP code Comment by nicocizik April 2007Hi Michael,

PassThru functions in RAP are similar to stand-alone rountines in Delphi as
in they only have the parameters passed to them and any global parameters

Hi Chris,
1. Be sure you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder 10.06.
2. Instead of using the OnPrint event of the RichText object, try using the
OnMailMerge event when altering mailmerged text.

You should be able to accomplish all of this using the DataDictionary. This
allows you to define (translate) all the field aliases ReportBuilder and
