Yeah, I too found that changing the class name is a no-no :-)

I got it to work. I went and had made my own TppDesigner and changed it's

If you copy the ppDsgner unit from RB's source to your directory and run,
the data tab doesn't show up? Is 'daIDE' in your uses clause? (Otherwise it
works just fine here).

I did that. I made my own TppDesigner and TppDesignerWindow. But the code
that puts the Data tab in the designer window by running
ppRegisterDesignModule() does so not to my window. If I change it to point
to my designer window it goe… -
Copy the unit with the code you want to change to your main project
directory and make then changes there.

If you want to do it in the standard object event you could use the OnGetText
event of the TppLabel or TppDBText. Just modify the Text parameter that's
passed in the event.
Example:
procedure TForm1.ppDBText1GetText(S… -
The example was spot-on and one hour later I have most of my components
working.
Thanks!

It looks like I'll be able to do this really quick thanks to this example.
But I'm still curious about doing it in code using an event in case that
comes up for another case.

Thanks - I'm going to download it right now.
Until I get the components done is there an easy way to modify the text
before printing in the existing DBText components during one of the events?
I was just going to select a group … -
One way would be to make a component that inherits from the TppDBText
component
(ppCtrls.pas) and simply override the GetTheText function to make it do
what you want to.

I've looked at the RCL Checkbox package project but don't know where to
start on doing my own much more simple component.
I just want to take the text that would be printed by ppDBText and modify it

Thanks, that did the trick.

This is my register call:
ppRegisterComponent(TVarAwareRegion, 'Advanced Components', 10, 0,
'VarAwareRegion', HInstance);
I do not unRegister any other component, (do I have to).

Thanks.

Hi Jack,
use the 'Text' property.

Sorry to correct you, but our "TreeView for ReportBuilder" components are
*not* Freeware. They're free only for non-commercial use. Commercial use or
the need for source code requires purchasing the component for just US$ 30.

The main component (a grid) descends from a TppCustomComponent. It creates some
DrawCommands. It's these draw commands that needs to be repainted. Invalidate
the "parent" (the grid) when the data scrolls.

What am I missing? I did what you said and I got incompatible types.
TppLabel.Region - is looking for a TppComponent and
myRegion - is a TComponent.

The region idea is a good one. Is there a way to change the shape of the
region from a square to a circle. It looks like in the code for
TppCustomRegion there is a procedure to change the shape, but I don't see
how you would do it.Hi Jim,
Not sure how the Leading property works, but even when I set it to 0
(zero), The line spacing is too big. Is there a way to make it smaller?
Thanks
