  • > So, even if I don't save it with the new versions, RTMs created with older

    Yes


    Yes
  • We just advise to load and save so that the reports will be saved with the
    new properties.

    RB 10.x can load and run your RB 7.x. It will work fine with the offset
    area. And your end-users will be able to load and run their rep…

  • Check out TRichView (http://www.trichview.com/), I believe they have a
    wrapper component that enables it to be used inside the RB report designer


  • See my answer to your post about "Printing BarCode Certification"



  • I found some information on Wikipedia. Towards the bottom is list the
    different lengths of PostNet (ie. zip, zip+4, etc) that the Post Office has
    used over time. There is a mention of a zip+4+delivery point type of
    encoding. …

  • Interesting. I do not know how many customers have used PostNet, but I do
    know that we have had customers use the PostNet symbology successfully and
    there are no known issues with it (not until your post anyway).

    The RB …
  • Try the following....

    Designer.Report.Template.New; // clear the layout
    Designer.Report.FreeModules; // free the codemodule and datamodule



  • Until now, we were not aware of the USPS PostNet barcode certification
    program. I Googled and found some information on it.

    There are two types of certification

  • One of the cool features we added for RB 10 is built-in support for emailing
    reports.

    - email reports from the report previewer (the new email button will invoke
    the user's default email program, such as MS Outlook with …

  • This is not a known issue. I would first try updating to RB 10.03. Send an
    email with your serial number and registration info to
    info@digital-metaphors.com and request download information.


  • Send a simple example in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and we
    can run it here.



  • RB Server Edition includes an XHTML device that can be optionally used in
    non server applications.

    This example will produce an interface that displays a toolbar with nav
    buttons at the top.

  • Thanks for feedback.

    - The web browser interface generated by RB Server Edition is designed to
    look and feel like the win32 form based interface. Feedback from most
    customers has been 'Wow!'. Recently we updated the inte…

  • The HTML export device is generates the of the HTML output, including any
    navigation elements.

    As an alternative, RB Server Edition generates a more advanced web
    interfaced. For an example, check out our live server demo…

  • Thanks for the feedback. Are you printing to the printer? The intent is that
    in the following method, the FPrinting boolean be set to true so that no
    messages are displayed.


    procedure TppDrawBarCode.DisplayMessage(…

  • Check the Help | About box of the Report Designer and make sure that you are
    using RB 10.03. If you need download information for RB 10.03, please send
    an email request with your serial number and registration information to

  • - heck out TppToolbar defined in ppToolbarTBX.pas.This class is the ancestor
    for RB toolbars

    - many of the toolbars that appear in the design workspace descend from
    TppDesignToolbar. See ppDesignToolbarsTBX.pas. Also see…

  • Great post - you are a poet!



  • Sorry to not respond sooner. It sounded like you were moving forward, so I
    did not respond initially due to time constraints. Then I just forgot to
    come back to it. Thanks for the reminder.

    - Improvements are always wel…

  • See ppDisplayFormat.pas. You can easily create a descendant of
    TppDisplayFormat and specify that your TmyDisplayFormat be used by
    ReportBuilder to perform formatting. See the initialization section
    ppDisplayFormat.pas.

    Tech Tip: Convert BDE Template Dataviews To ADO

    Currently when DADE is used to create dataviews, the DatabaseName is store…

  • You can try setting Label.Font.CharSet.

    I do not know whether that will provide a correct solution or not. It might
    depend on what windows charset/language is being used for the desktop.



  • The Windows system settings are stored as global variable in Delphi. One
    solution is to temporary override the global variables and then restore them
    back. Use a try..finally block. Another solution is to implement your own
    c…

  • - Well, that is not the exact name, I should have been more clear. The DADE
    plug-in for DBISAM is installed to RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases\DBISAM.
    There is a unit called daDBISAM and a package that is called rbISAMxy.dpk

  • Open the DADE plug-in package for DBISAM, rbDBISAM.dpk, and check the
    requires clause. Make sure there is not a reference to BdeRtl. A while back
    we found that the rbDBISAM.dpk package contained a Bde reference
    erroneously.

  • We have not announced a date. Patches are available for RB 10.03, email
    support@digital-metaphors.com to request patches.



  • I assume you are referring to extending RAP, the run-time Pascal
    environment.

    - See the article below about Extending RAP.

    - RAP does not support arrays. However it does support TList and
    TStringList.

  • - one approach is to modify the Report.PrinterSetup properties prior to
    calling Report.Print

    Example:

    myReport.SavePrinterSetup := True; // this will save printer setup mods

    if {UseGlobalSettings} then

  • - thanks for that info. Sounds like a conflict that occurs when that script
    is executed.

    - rebooting sounds like a good work around. If not as Nico suggested try
    adding \RBuilder\Source to the Delphi library path and the…

  • - I enhanced the example to show screen and printer. Try downloading again
