  • Sorry for any confusion about this. There is not issue with having
    versions of RB installed for D5 and D6.

    For each version of Delphi you can have a version of RB installed.

    RB for D6 would only uninstall a previous…

  • Somewhere in the application the printer driver must be loaded. On some
    hardware/printer driver combinations this causes a noticeable delay.
    Particulary for some network printers.

    In RB 5.x, the printer driver loaded when …

  • Try recompiling the RB source code with the new IBX 4.6.

    RB has been tested with the IBX version included with D5 and with the
    version inclduded D6.

    The only IBX specific code in RB, is for the DADE Plug-in -
    da…

  • This message has been cross posted. Please do not cross post.

    There is no known issue like this in RB. You should not be able to
    select a Field unless you first have a pipeline assigned.

  • 1. Check out RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\Custom DataViews

    2. Check out the DADE thread of the Tech Tips newsgroup.



  • 1. You can try updating to RB 6.0. It is available for D6, D5, and D4.

    2. You can check the settings of Report.NoDataBehavior.

    3. Check out the following article below:

  • Update to Delphi 6. This restriction does not apply to D6.



  • 1. Sorry, but we do not have any Taiwan resellers. You can order online
    directly from Digital Metaphors. Check out
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com

    2. There is …

  • I would try to model this by doing the calculations prior to running the
    report. You could store the calc results in a TList, TStringList, or
    array. Then use the JITPipeline to print the results.




  • You either have a corrupt installation or you have modified the
    interface section of the ppComm.pas unit.

  • This question has been re-posted. Answer appears in a thread below.


  • This message was also sent to support@digital-metaphors.com and has been
    answered there.

    There are no known issues with using RB RichText.



  • There is a crosstab editor that is used by the Report Designer. To
    include the crosstab editor in your application, add ppCTDsgn to the
    'uses' clause. For an example of how to display the crosstab editor,
    check out the Configure…

  • Perhaps there is more to it than that. I just tried the steps you
    describe repeatedly on my machine - Win2K, RB 6, D6. Works fine.

    The other message lists a complex sequence of steps. When I try these I
    can get an AV every…


  • Sorry, but can you please elaborate? I cannot find the old message. I am
    using RB 6 daily for many hours and its definitely NOT useless.

    1. Make sure that you do not have a corrupt installation. See the
    Installation …

  • The GetSubreports method, load a TStrings with the subreport.Caption and
    the objects.

    Starting with RB 5.5x, the subreport caption contains the datapipeline
    username. Here is the code used by subreport.GetCaption.

  • The rb*.dft files are language resource modules that are installed in
    cases in which English is NOT the default langauage.

    See ..\RBuilder\Languages\ReadMe.doc





  • I would try searching Google and Torry's Delphi pages to see barcode
    components are available. If the barcode component includes barcode
    fonts you could use them inside RB. Ff the component generates an image,
    you could print th…

  • 1. From the RB Designer, access the File | PageSetup dialog, select the
    Layout page and then specify the number of columns.

    2. Access the Report | Groups dialog. Create a Group on State and select
    the New Column option.

  • 1. See the Templates of the Tech Tips newsgroup for information on
    loading/saving reports to a database.

    2. You can either create one report template for each user option or you
    can dynamically modify the report template a…

  • Thanks for the feedback. I'll add it to the list.



  • Though we see great potential in the Linux theater, we must make our
    decisions based on business realities. Therefore, we currently have no
    plans to develop a Kylix version. We will certainly make an announcement
    if this situati…

  • Please create a simple Delphi project that demonstrates the behavior and
    send in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com.

    I just created an example here like you describe below, but the summary
    band printed at the pos…

  • Tried it with D4 and RB 6 but still could not reproduce a problem. Try
    the code I showed below. If that works, then construct a simple Delphi
    project that demonstrates the issue and e-mail to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

  • Just tried it here and it works fine. I do not think anything related to
    loading rtf data has been modified for D6. I added a TppRichText to a
    report and coded

    ppRichText1.LoadFromFile('c:\Program
    Files\Borland\Delp…

  • 1. For the next maintenance release, we can add a public
    Printer.Initialize method so you can just code
    Report.Printer.Initialize;

    2. For now try this

    var
    lPoint: TPoint;
    begin
    lPoint := ppRep…

  • I would try executing some code such as
    myReport.PrinterSetup.PaperNames.Count. Make sure the Delphi optimizer
    does not take the out - You can test this by tracing in the debugger.

    Basically any code that required printer …

  • This is not one of the built-in types supported by TppBarCode.

    I would try searching Google and Torry's Delphi pages to see barcode
    components are available. If the barcode component includes barcode
    fonts you could use th…

  • See the Code Based thread of the Tech Tips newsgroup for examples of
    dynamic report creation.
