  • Hi Marc,

    Please see the following examples on how to use the background printing
    feature in ReportBuilder.

    Tech Tip: Detecting whether Report was
    Printed to the Printer

  • Hi Matthew,

    Sorry, I thought you said you were setting a NewPage property of the header
    band, not the title band. The purpose of this feature is to simply print
    the title or summary band on a new page. In some cases, you may w…
  • Hi Matthew,

    1. One way to force a subreport to start on a new page is to set it as a
    Section Style subreport. This will by default start a new page for that
    subreport. You can also try using the Band.OutOfSpace property to fo…
  • Hi Matthew,

    Section style subreports are meant to act as separate reports in your main
    report, generally used to combine multiple reports together as one. Section
    subreports are not meant to be embedded inside a Child subreport…
  • Hi Matthew,

    This is not a known issue in ReportBuilder. Be sure all your subreports are
    connected to the proper datapipeline to display the correct data. If you
    still cannot see the pages of the subreport, please send a simple…
  • Hi Peter,

    Although nothing like this currently exists in ReportBuilder, it could be
    possible to create a custom richtext editor that would allow your users this
    capability and then format the rich text to work correctly with
  • Hi Laurent,

    Mouse wheel support was added for the TppPreview window only, not the
    TppViewer. If you would like to see the code added, see the ppPreview.pas
    file and simply search for the OnMouseWheel event. So far we have had …
  • Hi Chris,

    You can use the boolean property TppReport.FirstPass and
    TppReport.SecondPass to determine which pass you are currently on.

  • Hi Chris,

    When you place the DBCalc component on the first page be sure you have the
    LookAhead property set to True. If you are using Subreports, you will need
    to update this value as a TppVariable from the subreport detail ban…
  • Hi Vikram,

    We received your e-mail and sent a response 2 days ago. We will send the
    information again immediately. Thanks for your patience.

  • Hi Santy,

    You can use the TdaSQL.AddCriteria and TdaSQL.AddParentheses. The
    AddCriteria takes a TdaCriteriaType parameter which can be one of the
    following types...dacrField, dacrOR, dacrNOT, dacrBegin, dacrEnd.

  • Hi Peter,

    Unfortunately this is not currently a feature of the TppDBMemo component.
    The TppDBMemo does however support Tab stop positions so if you were to
    separate your memo field inside the database using tabs, the TppDBMemo
  • Hi Bernd,

    If you leave daADO out of your uses clause, it will not get registered in
    the first place, so if you add a custom plugin, it will be the only one
    registered. I believe that if you try to register two ADO plugins of th…
  • Hi Bernd,

    Were are you trying to access your datasets in RAP. A number of things
    could be going wrong here. First the timing of when you try to access the
    datasets could be off if you already altered them manually in Delphi c…
  • Hi Bernd,

    It is definitely on our to-do list to improve on this limitation for the
    next release. Unfortunately, in the current release, when you edit the SQL
    generated in DADE, you immediately loose all your dataset links and
  • Hi Bernd,

    Sorry, I made a mistake in my last post. When you edit the sql, your sql is
    now text and the autosearch criteria is lost. Take a look at the following
    example on how to create autosearch fields once you've edited the…
  • Hi Bernd,

    No, you should not loose your autosearch fields. You will however loose any
    dataview linking you have done in DADE. Unfortunately manually editing the
    SQL and linking with DADE are not supported.

  • Hi Bernd,

    Once you have access to the TdaSQL object, you can use the SQLText property
    to change the SQL code manually if you like.

  • Hi Kumar,

    You can also use a TppJITPipeline to simply get the data into your report
    where you can do what you like with it. See demo 137 (dm0137.pas) in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory.

  • Kumar,

    These are not native ReportBuilder components and therefore cannot be
    printed using ReportBuilder. You may want to check out some of the third
    party grid tools available for ReportBuilder. Some of them are very
    sop…
  • Hi Chris,

    This is on our to-do list for a future release. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi David,

    I am unable to recreate this behavior on my machine. If possible please put
    together a small example using only native Delphi and ReportBuilder
    components and the DBDEMOS database if you need, and send it to
    supp…
  • Thanks Jon.... that was my next question :).

  • Hi David,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/ Delphi are you using? There are no known
    issues like this one with the TppRegion in the current version of
    ReportBuilder. In my testing just now, I was able to create a keeptogether
  • Hi Nelson,

    Instead of creating a form replacement for the preview window, you now need
    to create a preview plugin. See the article below for more information...

  • Hi Chris,

    Unfortunately the PageStyle band can only be printed behind the mail report
    objects. If you would like a consistant object on top of the main report
    objects you will either need to place this component in a position s…
  • Hi Chris,

    Which band are you printing the bottom line? Try disabling the FooterBand
    and see if that helps. If you are trying to create a page border, you might
    try using the Page Style band. This band prints behind the report…
  • Hi Emmanuel,

    1. You should only make calculations inside the TppVariable.OnCalc event.
    This event in guaranteed to only fire once per traversal.

    2. Check the timing of the TppVariable you are updating. If you need it to…
  • Hi Matthew,

    Are you connecting to the DBDEMOS Access database? If so, are you able to
    connect successfully using the TADOConnection (i.e. when you press "Test
    Connection")? For an example of connecting to an Access database us…
