Refresh pipeline fields

rbuser

Howzit,
Using Delphi 7 & RB 10.04

I have DB pipelines linked to TDatasets. When i add fields to the datasets,
the new fields do not appear in the data tree on the report designer. How do
i get this tree to refresh?

Regards,
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

If you right click over the data tree and select "Refresh" the data tree
should update and show the proper fields.

What can i use to cause this refresh to happen in code - without user
intervention.

Hi Gilbert,

You can gain access to the DataTree using the layout manager of the
TppDesignerWindow. Then by calling TppDataTreeWindow.Refresh inside the
OnShow event of the designer will give you the effect you are after. Below
is an example of how to accomplish this with RB 10.x.
