  • Are you using a DBPipe or another pipeline type? Do you have any event
    handlers assigned to the report and what do those do? If the problem
    persists please send, if possible, a simple project which demonstrates the
    problem to support@…
  • Have you tried testing the report at runtime using the design time dataset
    (instead of the runtime dataset) to see if the problem occurs in that case
    as well?

  • I set everything up as you described (using D5 and IP2000) and inserted your
    code but was still unable to reproduce the described behavior, everything
    worked correctly. You can try upgrading to RB6.03 to see if the problem
    persists (e…
  • I attempted to reproduce this problem but was unable to. Can you please
    provide a sample project that reproduces the error?

  • Can you please be more specific as to what you mean when you say 'when 1st
    'Enter' key is added'. Are you trying to insert a newline character at
    runtime or is this a design time problem?

  • The left to right column traversal issue is fixed but unfortunately is not
    patchable. The fix will be available in RB 6.5.

  • There is a known issue with LeftToRight column traversal that we don't have
    a solution for at this time. Can you please be more specific about the
    problem that arises with 6.03? Can you please also briefly descrive the
    report setup?
  • Unfortunately theres no trivial way to accomplish the same thing with
    strings as it will always default to count since the crosstab is meant to do
    calculations. A possible workaround is to created another calculated column
    where you e…
  • Below is a sample project of what I understand you are trying to do. Please
    let me know if I am not understanding our problem correctly.

    The idea is that the data looks like:

  • This kind of data can be accommodated with the crosstab component. Drop a
    crosstab onto the report, assign the pipeline associated with the data below
    to it and configure it. Assign the line field to a new row and the column
    field to …
  • If you simply want to display the data in a grid like structure then simply
    create a tabular style report with rectangular shapes surrounding the values
    to create the grid. See report 12 in the main reports demo in
    RBuilder\Demos\Repo…
  • You need to set the variable's value in its OnGetText event and not its
    OnCalc event. This is the only time in which you should not use the OnCalc
    event to perform a calculation. The timing of the OnCalc is not compatible
    with the g…
  • Though you can group on a variable it might be a better idea sort the data
    set. Lots of dbs provide MONTH and YEAR functions for extracting those
    values as separate fields or something similar. You would then SORT by year
    and then by …
  • The basic idea is that you create a series and then each series allows you
    to specify which fields you want associated with what. For example, one way
    of rendering the data below is to create a point series and assign then
    'men' colum…
  • Which version of TeeChart do you have? You must have the full version of
    TeeChart in order to be able to use data pipelines with the chart component.
    ReportBuilder 6.03 is fully compatible with TeeChart 5.02a. See
    www.steema.com for m…
  • Sorry, my mistake, the names of the units to include are the following:

  • SQLDirect is currently not supported in DADE. See www.digital-metaphors.com
    => Friends => Dada => DADE Plugins for a list of available DADE plugins.

  • Add rbADO66 to the uses clause for ADO support and rbIBE66 for IB support.

  • If you have RB Enterprise you can implement the OnPrint event handler in
    RAP. Otherwise you will have to implement the event handler in Delphi.

  • There is a patch to fix a destroy bug for the report explorer, which might
    be what you are experiencing when the form is not modal. Please send an
    email to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll email to to you.

  • The PreviewForm does not actually render the page, the Viewer object does.
    The Viewer object in turn resides on the PreviewForm. When the report goes
    to print to screen it creates the preview form and fires the
    PreviewFormCreate event…
  • You would use RAP in a similar way to implementing the event in Delphi. Go
    over to the Calc tab, select the Detail band object in the Report Objects
    window, then select the BeforePrint event and implement the same code as
    below. You …
  • 1. Use one or the other but no both. In general there isn't a huge advantage
    to using one or the other. There is a significant advantage if you perform
    pipeline linking in DADE however. Linking on the datasets creates a
    relationship w…
  • You can get at it via Report.PreviewForm.Viewer. It is returned as a TObject
    so you have to cast it to TppViewer. Also keep in mind that it is not valid
    until the preview form is actually created.

  • You have to remove the while digital-mataphors account. Removing the
    newsgroup alone won't refresh it because windows caches the headers.

  • Sorry, but RB currently uses standard Delphi String type, there is
    nothing special coded for Unicode support.
