  • Hi Alan,

    See the end user demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. End User\...
    directory. These give you an idea of what type of applications you can
    create using ReportBuilder.

  • My mistake, the instructions do exist inside the dmMain.pas file which is
    opened when the Demo.dpr project is opened in the Delphi IDE.

    in Using DBChart Comment by nicocizik November 2004
  • Hi Alan,

    When you open the Demo.dpr file, you will see instructions in the source to
    enable TeeChart. Then, after running the app, you can view demo 92 for an
    example.

  • Hi Alan,

    You need to open and run the Demo.dpr project to see the demos in action.
    This project gives you a demo application that allows you to easily navigate
    through each demo provided.

  • Hi Ronny,

    If you simply want to set the text of a TppMemo on a report to the text of a
    TMemo on one of your forms, all you have to do is set the Text property of
    one equal to the Text property of the other. This can be easily…
  • Hi Ronny,

    Are you trying to print the text from ReportBuilder? If so, you can simply
    place a TppMemo object on a report and set its Text property equal to the
    Text property of the TMemo of your main application.

  • Hi Michael,

    Yes, it is possible to keep all event handler code local to each saved
    template using RAP. Report Application Pascal (RAP) is ReportBuidler's
    run-time Pascal development environment. RAP enables the entire report …
  • Hi Santy,

    Setting the TppDetailBand.BandsPerRecord proeprty to 0 simply disables the
    functionality of this property. If you would like to remove the detail band
    completely when there are no records, you will need to toggle th…

    The "tips" directory is generally used to provide users of the newsgroups a

  • Hi Rodger,

    Try pointing your library path toward the source directory and be sure there
    are no .dcu files present for ppChrt. This should rebuild the rb .dcu's
    with the new version of TeeChart.

    The next version of …
  • Hi Rodger,

    In this TeeChart, are you using a TeeFunction? This is what seemed to cause
    the error before, however the AV error you are receiving is not the error we
    got. You might perhaps re-compiling and re-installing the RB…
  • Hi Rodger,

    Yes, I believe their next release will be TeeChart 7.01.

  • Hi Rodger,

    Are you able to stop on exceptions and trace the error? Which version of
    TeeChart are you using? This is more than likely the destroy bug in
    TeeChart that we discovered more than 3 years ago. Not to long ago, we …
  • Hi Jorge,

    If you have your report on a DataModule in Delphi 5, you should have noticed
    a message appears when you try to open the Report Designer at designtime.
    This message explains that there could be instability in the desi…
  • Hi Jorge,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Does this AV occur at Delphi
    design time or at run time. Are you able to stop on the exception and trace
    into the ReportBuilder source where the error occurs? Are you …
  • Hi Peter,

    Yes, this is possible using TppRegions. Simply place your initial text
    inside a TppRegion component with Stretch set to True. Then place the
    second text component in a TppRegion component below the first one, with …
  • Hi Sean,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? What is the field type you
    are trying to impose this display format? If you select a display format
    from the DisplayFormat dialog, does that work correctly? ReportBuild…
  • Hi Gianantonio,

    Which version of TeeChart are you using. If you are using the version that
    comes included with Delphi 7, it is not fully supported at design time. See
    the ReportBuilder help in the ReportBuilder Reference | T…
  • Hi Steve,

    Some printers do not handle transparency very well. Be sure you have the
    latest printer driver installed. Also, try printing to a different printer
    and see if that makes a difference.

  • Hi Ladrillo,

    Sorry, unfortunately there are not any events in RAP that fire soon enough
    to allow you to successfully access the datapipeline. Specific events of
    this kind have been added for the next release of ReportBuilder.…
  • Hi Ladrillo,

    Unfortunately, I believe this is simply too late to cancel the report. Once
    the report engine has made it this far, it is going to finish regardless of
    calling Report.Cancel or not. As a test, try creating a glo…
  • Hi,

    I'm confused what you would like to happen. Would you like the Report to
    simply stop generating or would you like the preview form to close when this
    condition occurs? Simply calling Report.Cancel will not immediately ca…
  • Hi Nick,

    This is correct, the footer band is the only band that cannot be altered
    vertically. As an alternative, I would suggest using a group footer or the
    summary band and setting the PrintPosition property.

  • Hi Halim,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder and TExtraDevices. I would
    suggest first upgrading to ReportBuilder 7.04 and testing with that. If you
    are still experiencing problems, try contacting support@waler.com …
  • Hi Eugene,

    Try placing two Section style Subreports inside your main report's
    Detailband and nothing else. The first page is the first subreport and the
    second is the second subreport. (this is the easies method).

  • Hi Paul,

    Try using the method I described in my previous post with
    Report.PrinterSetup.Duplex property set to the proper value.

    in how to add a page to report Comment by nicocizik November 2004
  • Hi Gustavo,

    Unfortunately there is not currently a feature in ReportBuilder that will
    adjust the components according to the page boundaries. You will either
    need to keep each report object inside both page boundaries or crea…
  • Hi Benson,

    1. Be sure your first page is not a supreport. The main report's page
    style will not print behind a subreport.

    2. Be sure the TppPageStyle.PageSetting is psAll and that it is visible.
