  • Hi Ladrillo,

    You need to set the DetailBand.PrintHeight to phDynamic so the detail band
    will stretch to the size of the given components. Then in the
    DetailBand.BeforePrint event you can add some code to see if an image exists<…

    The current goal is to support Delphi for .Net. The plan is to port the
    existing code to VCL for .Net, which relies upon the Borland VCL for .Net
    assemblies. Any compatability with Visual Studio .Net is unknown at this…

  • Hi,

    Sorry, I was mistaken, the JITPipeline is an event-handler based
    datapipeline used to print data from an array, TStringList, TList or any
    other data structure. You may still want to use a JIT Pipeline to control
    the a…

  • Hello,

    I would suggest using a JIT Pipeline to pull the data from your dataset so
    you will be able to control the exact amount of records that get traversed.
    Also, you will want to check the DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property. …

  • Hi Goran,

    Since .wmf files do use this instruction style rendering, they would produce
    the best output on screen. Note that the ReportBuilder Engine uses the
    printer driver to render these images and is then converting them to …

  • Goran,

    Converting a .wmf file to a bitmap by simply saving the file as a different
    file type will not give you a real conversion of the .wmf image. A true
    .wmf file contains rendering instructions, such as font information and<…

    I am unable to recreate this behavior on my machine. Does this only happen
    when you add a .wmf image to your report? Please check to see that you are
    using the latest printer driver and send a small example demonstrat…

    in custom print preview Comment by nicocizik July 2003
  • Rodger,

    There are now two ways to create a custom preview form, using a
    TppCustomPreview descendent or creating a Preview Plugin that descends from
    TppPreview. Below is an example of using a Preview Plugin to create a
    cust…

  • Ed,

    Creating a custom print dialog is very simple and would be your best bet for
    disabling the page range. Detecting if the user selected to print a page
    range would be much more difficult. I created a simple example that you …

  • Hi Jay,

    The Report Outline can be disabled by selecting the Report | Outline
    Settings menu option, and unchecking the 'Enabled' property. This will keep
    the Outline disabled the next time you run the report.

    Please contact sales@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for
    information on updating to ReportBuilder 7.02. You will need to recompile

    I looked into the issue you are having and it looks as though the OnCalc

    you could toggle the visibility of the detail band at certain times, yo…

    Are you using ReportBuilder version 7.02? There was a problem with RB 7
    where the TwwRichEdit did not work within the context of the RichText
    Editor. The issue has bee fixed in the latest version.

  • Rodger,

    Here is another similar example that creates the second form at runtime and
    frees the memory when the preview is closed as you need it to do. Hope this
    helps.

    in AV when closing a report Comment by nicocizik July 2003
  • Hi Rodger,

    I created a small example that does what I believe you need it to. It
    starts a timer inside the PreviewFormClose event and closes the form once
    the timer interval is up. Hope this helps.

    in AV when closing a report Comment by nicocizik July 2003
  • Hi Rodger,

    You do not want to close the form inside the PreviewFormClose event because
    there is still code being executed in the TppProducer that uses the form.
    You need to close the form sometime after you make the call to Repo…
    in AV when closing a report Comment by nicocizik July 2003
  • Rodger,

    The problem is most likely occuring in your second snipit of code. The
    preview form is created by the report object and freed by it so you do not
    need to close it.

  • Gary,

    Try accomplishing this with a TShape first just using Delphi and get that
    working. Then you can port the code over to work with a ppShape in
    ReportBuilder.
