  • The change was made because customers complained the behavior was not
    consistent. When using the end-user designer, some reports were
    save/restored when selecting/deselecting Preview while other reports were
    not. When a report is p…

  • One option is to use Delphi Win32 to build the reports into a COM object
    that you can call from .NET. Both Delphi and .NET have excellent COM
    support.

  • Two options:

    Use a Group that breaks for each detail band and set Group.KeepTogether to
    true

    Use a Subreport as a container and Subreport.KeepTogether to true. When

    of RBuilder.ini. See tech tip below.

    For the next major release, we are making enhancements to better support

  • We have been using Vista here daily for over a year and have Delphi
    configured to run as Administrator. Works great. There are many other apps
    on my Vista machine that require Administrator privileges.

  • I emailed you a patch.

    You are correct, you can fix it yourself by opening the ppRichEd.pas unit
    using D7 and resaving it. Then copy the .dfm from RBuilder\Source to
    RBuilder\Lib and rebuild.

  • Try configuring the report to print columns. From the report designer,
    select File | PageSetup |
    Layout. You can specify number of columns and TopToBottom or LeftToRight
    traversal.

  • Best way to test is with a profiling tool, such as AQTime. Setup a test case
    with the /exact/ same environment. Same machine, same printer, same
    everything - such that the only difference is RB 7/RB10. Typically what
    happens …

  • Try testing with different printers. If you have a slow network, then it
    will be slow. If you have a local printer it will be so fast will not notice
    it. That code has not changed since RB 7.x. RB is optimized to cache the

  • RB 10 includes built-in support for exporting to PDF. For testing the trial
    version, comment out your references to TExtraDevices.

    The latest TExtraDevices supports RB 10.

  • I recommend updating to RB 10. There have been countless improvements since
    RB 6.x, including memory management and image handling. Trial versions can
    be download from our web site.

  • Try getting it to work using a Delphi TRichEdit, outside of ReportBuilder.
    Then try adapting that code to the RB TppRichText. The TppRichText is a
    wrapper around the TRichEdit component.
