Group not grouping

adyble — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 17:16:28 +0000

In my Delphi 10.3 app using RB 21 Build 170 I have a basic report constructed like this - 2 tables - WASTEJOBS and WASTEDETAIL They both contain a field JOBNO The 2 datasets are both in JOBNO order The report has the main data as WASTEJOBS, the report is grouped on JOBNO there is a JOBNO in the group header the detail section contains a child subreport links to data -WASTEDETAIL for testing purposes the subreport detail section only contains WASTEDETAIL.JOBNO However when the report is run, it doesn't break at group end sop the report looks like -every EWASTEDETAIL is printed for each WASTEJOB. I've done reports lime this for best part of 20 years. There is no data module inside the template, the data is queried before the data is loaded. This seems to be the only difference. Could it be that I need a calculated field to do the grouping ? Thanks Andy 100 - Group header 100 101 102 102 103 104 104 101 - Group header 100 101 102 102 103 104 104

Annotating reports after generation (in preview viewer)

JonRobertson — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 18:40:40 +0000

How difficult would it be to annotate a report *after* it is generated? For example, the user is viewing a report in the preview form, clicks a highlight button, and then highlights a section of the report? Ideally, the annotation would be added to a list of draw commands so that printing or archiving the port would maintain the annotation. I think this is feasible, although I'm wondering if there is a way the annotation/highlight can be seen without forcing the report to reprint? I've seen examples of adding TppDrawText during TppDevice.OnPageReceive and TppArchiveReader.OnReadPage. But those draw commands would only execute during report generation. Is there a way to process a draw command after the report has generated? Thanks

losing data settings

adyble — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 13:51:07 +0000

Hello In D10.3 Mysql with Firedac, RB 21.0 The data settings are changing every time I edit a report template. Sql type is changing form 2 to 1, the database connection is empty. If I change them back and save then run the report, they are fine. However the next time I edit the layout the have gone again. They are hard coded into the ppDesigner component to be correct. What do I need to look at to make sure they are saved ? I didn't have this prblem in D7 Thanks Andy

Some data sources are not visible on the Data tab

Jan — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 09:42:53 +0000

We switched to Delphi 12 and Report Builder 22.03 and noticed this strange behavior. In Designer, when you switch to the Data tab, not all data sources are displayed. You have to switch between tabs until all sources appear. In Delphi 11.3 with Report Builder 22.02, this worked fine. There are no changes in our code. It can be seen in this video. https://youtu.be/ZUpdBSIZhDY

I set the database type=dtMSSQLServer and SQLType=sqSQL2 Thank you! Vinh,
