There is a TPicture property on the image component:

RAP is going to make things more complicated than they need to be, I think.
Each panel in the autosearch dialog is connected to a field of the dataset.
You could create descendent panel for the fields that are going to be
displayed in… -
We don't have this feature. You'll have to create your own autosearch panel
to do this. Check out the Autosearch demos. There is one that replaces the
autosearch dialog in order to add TDataTimePickers for the date, which is
similar … -

You can safely create reports based off of queries on a form. If the report
is not printing, then you should be able to update the data. If the report
is generating, then you'll invalidate the bookmarks that the report's
datapipeline … -
The location of the file is under your control via the

Does this happen on all printers, or just one?
Download the lastest print driver which is available from the manufacturer.

The report should use the screen canvas to render the rpeview, if no printer
is installed, and this is working. The only other case we have encoutered,
is if the user doesn't have access rights to the printer. I can send you a
patch … -
Upgrade to RB 6.03 is you are running an older version of RB. If a printer
is installed, then check to see if the user's machine has security rights to
the default printer. If the user should not have access to any printer, and

I forgot to clarify, that the public method which triggers the OnCalc, is
the Variable.Compute method.

After looking at the source, you'll have to create the TppVariable
descendent, THuhtaVariable, which overrides the function Printing so that it
always returns true. This is necessary because, in the method
TppVariable.Compute, there … -
They were accidentally created as boolean for our FF demo, when they
shouldn't have been. Thanks for reporting the issue.

This is a bug. You'll have to redefine the report tempalte (rbItem) table.
The fields are set to boolean for some reason??? Run your ffe.exe (Flash
Filer Explorer) and select the rbItem table. Then select/right click and
choose Redef… -
This is very similar to what we provide with the Autosearch feature. Call
TppViewer.RegenerateReport. You'll want to use the
Report.OnGetAutosearchValues event timing to setup the query.

If you aren't connecting to a database, then you could use the JITPipeline
to retrieve the data. There are examples in the RBuilder installation (main
reports demos) which use the JITPipeline. These demos illustrate how to use

We don't have any specific examples, since this is for the designer window.
There is a data dictionary component which lets you define the field aliases
that the user sees. What are you trying to accomplish?

Does the demo work correctly for you? Try placing the subreport creation
before the call to PrintToCache.

The following may only work if the SkipWhenNoRecords property is false on
the detail dataset.
If you are using Delphi query linking, you should be able to check the
record count of the detail dataset.
If you are using… -
As a test, try loading the rich text straight into a WPTools rich text
component on an empty form at runtime. Then try it on a TRichEdit to see
what it does. Perhaps the rtf is in an invalid format? Can you load the rtf

I thought if the page setup is defined to be large enough for one envelope
only? Then you can print one envelope per page. Since only one detail band
will fit on a page, you'll be able to print multiple envelopes for one data

You should be able to place the controls in the detailband. If you have one
record to print, set the Detailband.BandsPerRecord property to the number of
detail bands that you want to print.

Jim BennettIs the detail band static height? Most likely you have a static height
control in the detail band that can't fit on the page. Try reducing the
height of components in the report until it doesn't infinite loop. There is
an article whi…The runtime designer won't be affected by nilling the property editors. The

We don't have that yet, but it is on the enhancement ToDo list. You'll have
to copy 'n' paste the component in the designer for now.
