TeeChart

rbuser

Hi,

I don't know if I'm postiong in the right newsgroup. If I'm not please let
me know.

I am trying to manipulate a TeeChart component (not a DBTeeChart nor a
DPTeeChart, just a regular TeeChart component) through Dade and haven't benn
quite successful yet. How can I add series and values from the "calc" tab ?
The Series[] array does not seem to be available.

Thanks :-)

Propbably the RAP group would be best.


I would create a pass through function to do that.

Hi,

Thank you for your fast response.


I know how to manipulate about anything through my app's code, this is not
the issue here. I want the users of my app to be able to use a TeeChart
component through the "calc" tab. Is this even possible ? Is the TeeChard
component solely made for static behaviour displaying static data ?

Thanks again :-)

Hi Steve,

One option is to extend the TeeChart RAP RTTI included. We will be
enhancing this for a later major release of ReportBuilder.

--------------------------------------------------
Article: Extending RAP
---------------------------------------------------

There are two very simple and powerful techniques to extend the capabilities
of RAP infinitely. These are summarized below and covered in more detail in
the RAP.hlp online help. Demos and tutorials are installed to
RBuilder\Demos\RAP. The tutorial text is located in RAP.hlp.


1. RAP Pass-Through Functions

These are functions that appear in the Language tab of RAP's Code Toolbox.
These functions are written in Delphi and can be called from RAP. RAP's
pass-through function architecture enable's developers to add new built-in
functions to RAP's code toolbox.

2. Extend RAP's RTTI

RAP's Run-time Type information defines what classes and properties can be
accessed via RAP. By default the published properties of any class that is
registered with Delphi's RegisterClass procedure is recognized by RAP. In
addition many of the public properties and methods of ReportBuilder classes
are exposed.
