Tutorial for writing Wizard/own compnents

rbuser

Sorry,

but I didn't found information about writing a wizard:
i.e. for aligning labels and dbfields I would like to write one.

And also a "step for step" to write and use own components

Thanks

1. For an example creating a custom component see RBuilder\Demos\RCL. The
code is heavily commented.

2. See Tech Tip below about creating custom report wizards.

3. You can also use the Align or Space toolbar to align components. Select
View | Toolbars | Align or Space from the report designer main menu.

TppCustomReportWizard is defined in ppWizard.pas. You can create
descendants and register them with RB. Example can be found in the
following RB source code files:

1. The simplest descendant is TppBlankReportWizard defined in
ppRptWiz.pas. TppBlankReportWizard simply creates a an empty report
consisting of a header/detail/footer band set.

2. TppLabelTemplateWizard - the label wizard is defined in ppLabWiz and
ppLWzDlg. (The Wizards that show a user interface are organized as two
classes). The wizard shows the wizard dialog.

3. TppCrossTabWizard is defined in ppCtWiz and ppCWzDlg.

4. TppReportWizard is defined in ppRptWiz and ppRWzDlg.
