WPTools ReportBuilder Support Units are available from www.wptools.de. See
the RBuilder/Infopower demo for an example of replacing the default RichText
engine. You'll have to make the same register calls as shown in the
Infopower demo… -
Please contact the vendor of the device you are using to produce the pdf for

You must explicitly tell the publisher to cache pages instead of just
passing them through to the device. Here's the final code that will run a
number of different archives, collect the pages from the publisher, and
print them by crea… -
To print the total on the final page only use the summary band which will
print at the very end of the report. Set the summary band's PrintPosition to
align it with the bottom of the page. To get the report footer to not print

In RAP, try just referencing the detail band object directly, instead of
trying to pull it from the report object as shown in the demo.

You'll have to regenerate the report and request that page again, if you

current page to reflect this.

I'll send you a v6.03 patch which fixes one problem related to comparing the

Set the Report.SavePrinterSetup property to true. This should save the
printer setup from the first print dialog and apply it to the second and
thrid reports. This might be the problem. The report will use the default

You'll have to use a shape component in order to print the gray line from

Here is an example which calculates the visibility of the shape based on the

Yes, we moved our web server and it was down last Friday. However, the
newsgroups should have been up and running all this week. We rebooted the
webserver once yesterday, but we haven't been bringing it down other than
that.I've emailed it to you also.

Yes, I am dealing with server issues, so that the web server will let me ftp
the tip. It was posted on our old server, but it didn't make it to the new
one:) Thankyou for your patience. I'm gonna email the example it to you.
…Yes, it should work the same in RAP. You'll have to port the code over to
RAP. Use global variables a TList. Leverage the global OnCreate and
OnDestroy events on RAP.

Digital Metaphor…Here is an example Delphi project which runs a report with this calculation:
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/PercentageOfGroupTotal.zipThere is one example in the installed RBuilder main reports demo project
(#92). If you are using the version of Teechart which is bundled with D6,
then that is the problem. We can't get it fully working in that version.
The only Teec…There is no option to make the value default to 0 when it is blank. You will
have to handle the check in the value's event handler or in the query.

The event will fire twice for a two pass report. Either set your report to
One Pass or do a pass check in the OnCalc in order to perform the
calculation only once. ie.
if (ppReport1.FirstPass) then
...do calculation
…Please see the RAP FAQ in Delphi help for more information on this issue.
You can set font styles by enabling them eindividually. ie.
label.font.bold := True;

Digital MetaphorsBe sure to upgrade to RB 6.03 as it includes a fix for this problem in
earlier releases. Unfortunately, there is a new obscure "Canvas does not
allow drawing" bug in 6.03. The good news is that we do have a patch
available upon req…You can use Delphi's StrToInt64 function to convert the string to it's
integer representation which will be able to handle the 13 digit number.

In what event handler are you trying to retrieve the value from the
dataview. Try using the variable's OnCalc event for this purpose.

The newsgroups were recently moved to new hardware. Try removing the DM
newsgroup account from your reader, then recreating it. That should clear up
any problems...

Make your report two pass. In the Group Header's BeforePrint event examine
the value of the variable during the second pass, ie.
if (ppReport1.SecondPass) and (ppVariable1 = someValue) do
ppGroupHeader1.Visible := False;
Make sure that the band in which the variables print are set to dynamic
height. The OnCalc event for the variables will fire regardless of
visibility.
