  • Hi Tim,

    There is no built-in way to get a TppMemo object to break on a certain
    character. It looks however that you do have the CharWrap property set to
    True for your memo object.

    It is possible to add CRLF charact…
  • Hi Preston,

    When using a TppViewer, you are calling the PrintToDevices routine to print
    in which case you have to write the code to prepare the report. This is the
    reason the BeforePrint event is not firing. See the TppRepor…
  • Hi Preston,

    1. The name TmySpawnedReport is misleading because it is not a report at
    all. As you can see, it actually contains a TppReport and TppViewer object.
    I believe it was made to be a descendent of the TppCommunicator…
  • Hi Kevin,

    We made quite a few significant fixes to RB 7.04 having to do with image
    handling. These fixes in most cases fixed the notorious "Black Image"
    problem. Have your customers update to RB 7.04 and see if that solves t…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Take a look at the following article.

  • Set the TppReport.ShowPrintDialog property to False.

  • Hi Joey,

    You can use the Report.BeforePrint event to cancel the report if you want.
    You will need to check the device to be sure you are cancelling a report
    that is being sent to the printer.

  • Hi Joey,

    Preston meant to take a look at the actual Demo application. There is a
    button at the bottom right that allows you to switch between a two page
    preview and a one page. You can see the difference by clicking the go <…
  • Hi Preston,

    Is your detail band's PrintHeight set to phDynamic? Even if it isn't the
    memo should not be crossing into the group footer. If you place a shape
    inside the group footer with the ParentWidth and ParentHeight set t…
  • Hi Red,

    Ok, by Internal Links you mean table joins and by External Links you mean
    creating a master detail relationship between datsets in DADE. If you look
    at the underlying SQL generated by using the DataView Links (Externa…
  • Hi Red,

    I'm a bit unclear about how you are linking your datasets. If you do not
    have a master detail relationship between two datasets if your report, the
    subreport will always print all its data unless you filter the datase…
  • Hi Daniel,

    In my quick testing with RAP, the AfterPrint event seemed to fire correctly.
    Note that when you are "printing" to the screen (previewing) the AfterPrint
    event will not fire until you are finished with the preview wi…
  • Hi Bob,

    ReportBuilder does not natively support the viewing of HTML in reports,
    however you might want to check out a third party utility named TRichView
    (http://www.trichvie…
  • Hi Rob,

    Unfortunately this is still on our todo list. The method below is still the
    preferred solution.

  • Hi Mike,

    You need to be sure you have all the correct teechart and rbuilder files in
    your build path when you do these builds. There are certain .cfg files that
    I believe need to be set up properly in order for this to work c…

  • Hi Alex,

    There are a couple ways you might do this. First, you can take complete
    control over the saving process by assigning the OnCustomSaveDoc event of
    the TppDesigner. Inside this event, you could simply keep track of wh…

    Now I see what you are trying to do :).

    I would recommend taking a different approach to the…
  • Hi Philip,

    It looks like the message you found was addressing a customer that was using
    RAP. Pass Thru functions are specific to RAP which is our internal
    reporting language that enables you to keep all report code local to t…
  • Hi Dimitar,

    It helps to tell me you are using RAP or post your question in the RAP
    newsgroup initially :).
  • Hi Dimitar,

    Check out the following example. It shows how to include a unique caption
    for each copy you print in ReportBuilder. This should get you on the right
    track.

  • Hi,

    If you are entirely replacing the preview form rather than using the Preview
    Plugin archetecture, take a look at the following example.

  • Hi Red,

    This sounds like it should work from what you describe below. Be sure you
    are ordering your Parts3 dataset on the linking field. Take a look at demos
    71 - 73 if you get a chance and see if you can spot anything diffe…
  • Hi Alex,

    Sorry, I somehow misplaced your previous post.

    You can gain access to the TdaQueryDataView using the
    TdaDataModule.DataViews[] property. Once you have the proper dataview, you
    can change the DataPipelineNa…
  • Hi Ronhald,

    Where would you like to print this value? For instance you could place a
    TppVariable in the detail band which calculates on traversal and in its
    OnCalc event update the value of another TppVariable in the Group Fo…
  • Hi Semone,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? In my testing with a
    Code 39 barcode and a three column report, I was unable to recreat the issue
    you describe. If possible, please construct a simple example t…
  • Hi,

    ReportBuilder will only traverse the data it needs to print the correct
    output. If you need to make calculations on data not shown or printed in a
    report, you will need to make them outside of RB either using Delphi code …
