  • Tim,

    Below is a link to an example of an easy work-around solution to your
    problem. The example essentially places a variable in a group footer and
    calculates the total of the detail band values and then by accessing the
    T…

  • Jure,

    Try setting the Report.CachePages property to True while using the Variable
    method you described below. This should resolve your issue without any
    changes to your existing report.

    Check out demo 114 and 116 in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    to see a good example of creating a report based on a DBGrid.

  • Hi Barry,

    A patch was created to allow you to use DADE without the BDE installed.
    Please send an e-mail to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch

    Please see the example below on creating a report dynamically in code. If
    this does not help, please send an example demonstrating the problem to

    caused by an error in your installation. Please verify that the date on

    ran a diff on the ppCapitalize code you sent and the code I use and they
    seemed to be identical. Please send a small running example that re-cr…

  • Jack,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? PpCapitalize was updated in
    ReportBuilder 7.02 and does not have this issue any longer.

  • Jeff,

    Glad you found a solution. The BackGroundPrintSettings should all be set to
    False by default. They may have been loaded with a .rtm file that saved
    them down at an earlier time.

  • Philippe,

    When ReportBuilder tries to make a connection, it will look for the database
    it was built with. If it cannot find the correct one, it will create a
    default ADO connection and use that. You need to be sure that the da…

  • Allan,

    Every time you generate the report, it will refresh itself. Be sure that
    your data is not being changed at any time during generation. If this does
    not help, please send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com and w…

  • Philippe,

    You will need to sum the datafields using TppVariables only and then use the
    CalcOrder property. The order of the OnCalcs is not dependent on the
    z-order.

  • James,

    You can "scan" the report for certain components using a Report Object Loop.
    Then you will need to check if each component is DataAware by using the
    TppComponent.IsDataAware routine.

    in Print to file does not output sub report Comment by nicocizik June 2003
  • Hi Juan,

    ReportBuilder's richtext edit component descends from TCustomRichEdit.
    Therfore you would need to create an adapter class to allow the
    TjvCustomRichEdit work with the TCustomRichEdit class.

    --
    in Rich Edit Comment by nicocizik June 2003
  • Hi Juan,

    Is JvxRichEdit a TCustomRichEdit descendent? If it is, creating wrapper for
    this control should be simple. Otherwise, it may be fairly difficult to
    create an adapter.

    looks correct before sending the text file to the printer. Below are a

    Sorry, but there is no way to override this functionality. Try turning the
    TppRegion's border off and placing a static control (ie. rectangle) around
    the components you need separated. This will give the illusion of a…

    Follow the link below to see an example that should help you with your
    project. This example similarly gives the number of bands per record and
    prints them left to right as you need.

  • Stuart,

    Why do you need to find the height of a TppMemo? Check out the BottomOffset
    and ShiftRelativeTo properties and see if they can help you before trying to
    obtain the memo height information.

  • Tarun,

    Check out Demo #124 in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    (dm0124.pas). This gives a good example of controling the pages sent to the
