  • Thanks ,
    I will try this & see if it works.So "visible" is always something
    recognized by RAP? If so could I say DBText3.visible := True etc? That way
    only the items that meet the criteria will show?

    Appreciate the help…
  • try setting the Detail band's visible property. Set it explicitly, i.e.:

    if Value1 <> Value2 then
    Detail.Visible := True
    else
    Detail.Visible := False;

    it use to be that
    Detail.Visible := (Value1 …
  • Hello Nico,
    Well I got it to work at last using your original idea.. I
    put the DBText's in a region and set it to stretch, then I used

    Detail.Visible := (Value1 <> Value2); for each DBText in the Deta…
  • Hello & Thanks for your on going help.
    I tried setting the visibility of the DBTexts, but go a blank report as once
    the test was satisfied that some of the fields did contain the same info it
    allowed no item to appear. .You see …

  • OK, i created a new component, everythings cool in design mode, but the
    thing does not render in preview. I am rendering the shape in my

    applicable to design mode…
  • I found something that worked- Value:= Value + Variable2.Value;

    But now I have a new problem. The group footer has the variable that's
    adding up the value of Variable2 but as the group changes the tally
    continues. So although …
  • Nard, top draw support again, many thanks. I'm stretching the envelope a bit
    with RB at the moment but I'm regularly astonished by how far I can take it.
    I've 10 yrs experience of having to work with Crystal Reports and if I were

  • Thanks Nard

    It has to be a Tlist because I need to sort on any number of fields in then
    objects (of the same class) that it is listing. I'll look into descending a
    TList with a range of sort methods, but surely I would then n…
  • Sorry, I don't understand: if TList is exposed to RAP, along with some of
    its methods list Add(), why can't I just expose Sort() as well? My Tlist is
    created dynamically so I'm not sure what persistance has to do with it. Or
    maybe …
  • AFAIK because TList doesn't deend from TPersistent but TObject, you can not
    do that. You need to create your own via a pass-through function.

  • I'd be glad to but it sort of depends on you having Nexus2 installed. If you
    have Nexus, I should be able to put a project together with some data.



  • I doubt you could reproduce it since its only happened to me a couple of
    times and I can't see any logic or pattern to it.. However, I do have one
    report I can reproduce it on; would it help if I saved it in any particular
    format? …

    Nico,
    We are incorporating RBuilder as a DLL in our application. We do not

  • The issue here involves the fact that the OnGetCaptionText event sets
    the caption for multiple columns in the crosstab.
    If I set the:

    Procedure CrossTab1OnGetCaptionText()
    begin
    aText:='OnGetCaptionText';

    Nico,
    Thank you for your assistance to this point.
    Unfortunately the demos are generating runtime errors and will not

    Thank you Nico, but exactly where is that demo to be located? I could
    find no links or a website search option that could lead me to a demos page.

    Thank you.
  • Right!

    That works!

    Thanks, Nard.

  • Well,

    I tried it and the image objects still (if ever created) do not show images,
    nor the detail band does not expand to create a second page.

    Do you have any idea??? Does the detail band ever creates subsequent
    pa…
  • Leaving the Memo.Visible set to true appears to have done the trick.

    I already had put in the RTTI logic for the PrintDialog.FileDevice, so
    I am all set.

    Thanks.



  • Nard,

    Adding or removing criteria is not a problem, my problem is reading the
    existing criteria.

    Using SearchCriteria.Exists is OK in specific situations, but
    SearchCriteria.Items[i].FieldName would provide a genera…

  • Hi Nard,

    Yes I am using D7 and RB 10.05. Here are the steps.

    1. Open Delphi.
    2. Place a TppReport Object on the blank form that is displayed.
    3. When the Report Builder window is displayed select the Calc Tab.

    Can you give me a quick sample of how you would do this in RAP?

  • Also, how could I compile the code and determine if the code compiled
    correctly, and display the error message if it did not?

    Thanks All

  • Thaks Nard,

    That was also exactly what I was looking for. The intricacies and
    abilities of Report Builder never cease to amaze me. You have an incredible
    product and impeccable support!

    Thanks Again,
