    Tech Tip: UCC/EAN 128 Barcode Generation

  • Hi Raymond,

    The height of the actual component will remain the same regardless if it
    stretches or not. If you need to find the height of the stretched component
    you will need to look at the height of the actual draw command t…
  • Hello,

    If you are using a static detail band, you can place a DBCalc component
    inside your page FooterBand and this will calculate the page subtotal for
    your report. There is a limitation in versions of ReportBuilder before R…
  • Hi Adam,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. As a test try placing colored
    shapes inside all of the bands in your report so when you print you are able
    to see exactly where the extra space is comming from. This may…
  • Hi Vincent,

    You can use the PrintPosition property of the group footer band to define
    the vertical position of that band in your report.

  • Hi Adam,

    Please send a small example of the "extra space" issue to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format. I will take a look at this
    and see if I can find the reason you are getting this behavior. If I can't,
    I'…
  • Hi Regent,

    If you are able to compile successfully with TeEngine in on project and not
    another, this may mean you are linking an old file into one of your
    projects. Search your computer for old versions of this file and check…
  • Hi Xavier,

    There should be no impact to your source if you upgrade to RB 9. All your
    reports and event handler code should compile and work correctly with the
    latest version.

  • Hi Xavier,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder 7.03 does not support TeeChart 7. ReportBuilder
    7.04 and ReportBuilder 9 fully support the latest version of TeeChart.

  • Hi Benson,

    1. If you would like each of these subreport to remain on their own page,
    try setting them as Section style subreports.

    2. Remember that if you do not have the pipeline connected to the specific
    repor/s…
  • Hi Alan,

    You will need to use a communication addin to Delphi to send a fax in code.
    Check out Async Pro from TurboPower. Hope this helps...

  • Hi Paul,

    If you are previewing and printing these reports at runtime, you need to add
    ppPDFDevice to your "uses" clause in order to register the PDF device. Also
    be sure you have the Report.AllowPrintToFile property set to Tr…
  • Hi,

    Currently the PDF device is only capable of outputing to a file. This would
    be a nice feature perhaps for a later release.

  • Hi Ferenc,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? This bug may have been
    addressed in a patch or update.

  • Hi Steve,

    This is a limitation of the current rotated text feature in ReportBuilder 9.
    Thanks for the feedback. I will mark this down as a possible enhancement
    for the next release.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the feedback. Currently there is no built-in way to store a
    report title inside an Archive File. It may be possible to add this
    information to the header of the archive file in binary then write code to…
  • Hi,

    We just did a test of our phone system and everything seems to be working
    properly. Our number is 303-531-8032. I apologize for the inconvenience,
    please try calling again. Perhaps there something I can help you with?
  • Hi Jorge,

    Unfortunately there is no built in way to initialize a system variable to
    start on a certain number. You will need to manually keep track of the
    current page number using the Report.AbsolutePageNo and
    Report.A…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Thanks, I appreciate your comments.

    The SQLBuilder was created to give developers an easier way to use the
    TdaSQL object in code. If you have ever looked at the TdaSQL source, you
    can easily see why this…
  • Hi Peter,

    An ADO plugin for DADE is shipped with ReportBuilder, there should be no
    need for you to create a new one. If this plugin does not meet your needs,
    take a look at the source (daADO.pas). That will give you a good i…
  • Hi Peter,

    Sorry for the delay in this response.

    Which version of ReportBuilder and SQL Server are you using? Are you able
    to connect to your database without using ReportBuilder?

  • Hi Austin,

    If you anchor each one of your components, they will all shift relative to
    the edge of the paper. However, anchors will not affect the Width of your
    report controls so if you are bunching them together to tightly, …
  • Hi Austin,

    ReportBuilder 9 now contains Anchors for every report component. This
    allows you to define where you would like an object to display on a page
    regardless the size or orientation. For instance, if you have a page n…
  • Hi Igor,

    When a border has been activated for a component, the Pen color, line width,
    and line style buttons are also enabled in the "Draw" toolbar in the
    designer. You can also use the new object inspector included in the Re…

    Unfortunately not yet. Thanks for the feedback though, this has been marked
    down on our to-do list.

  • Hi Adam,

    Sorry for the confusion. "All controls" meant all descendents of the
    TppComponent class excluding the advanced controls such as Page Break and
    Subreports. A band border option has been requested before and is someth…
  • Hi Ferenc,

    Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix this for the next release so that
    this special case will not cause an AV.

    in Exception: Divide by 0 Comment by nicocizik December 2004
  • Hi Ferenc,

    Thanks for pointing this out. Are you able to determine exactly when (or
    what you are doing while) this exception is occurs? I am unable to recreate
    it and cannot find a case where PixelsPerInch.Y = 0.

  • Hi Cary,

    I have been in contact with Steema and it appears they have not yet released
    an official version for Delphi 2005 that you can purchase on their web site.
    Once they do, I will be able to recompile our packages and send…
