Stringlist as Parameter

rbuser · January 2010

Delphi7, RB, RAP

Hello,

i tried to make a string like:

Delphi
s := s1 + #13#10 + s2 + #13#10 + s3 + #13#10 ....
ppReport.Parameters['sl'].Value := s;

But in RAP i get only the first string s1.

Is there a simple way for Stringlist?

Best regards, Olaf

Hi Olaf,

The TStringList object is supported in RAP. You should be able to use it as
you would in Delphi

s := TStringList.Create;
s.Add(...
s.Add(...

... := s.Text;

Hi Nico,

yes, i know i use the stringlist in RAP.

But i can not transport it via Report.Parameters.
I like to preper a stringlist in delphi and then transport it to RAP,
where i want to use as parameter.

Hi Olaf,

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately you cannot pass a StringList as
a parameter to RAP.

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In my testing with RB 11.07,
setting the value of a parameter to something similar to what you described
properly transferred to a memo object in RAP.

In Delphi...

ppReport1.Parameters['MyParam'].Value := 'John' + #13#10 + 'Paul' + #13#10 +
'George' + #13#10 + 'Ringo';

In Rap (Memo.OnPrint event)

Memo1.Lines.Text := Report.Paramemters['MyParam'];

Output...

John
Paul
George
Ringo

I have not tried this, but perhaps try using the StringList.CommaText
property like this...

ppReport1.Parameters['MyParam'].Value := myStringList.CommaText;

and then inside RAP, create a local string list and do this..

lStringList.CommaText := ppReport1.Parameters['MyParam'].Value;

Hi Nico,

i think i am using RB 11.01 (where can i read the version)

Your way will not work on 11.01.
I get only "John".

Thanks!

Hi Nard,

this way will work fine on 11.02.

For the memo, i took the following way:

procedure Memo1OnPrint;
var
sl : TStrings;
begin
sl := TStringList.Create;
sl.CommaText := Report.Parameters['sl'];
Memo1.Lines.Text := sl.Text;
sl.Free;
end;

Thanks!
Olaf
