  • Hi Carlson,

    This is not a known issue. Please upgrade to RB 9.02 and see if that helps
    the issue. If not, perhaps a little more information about your app and
    what you are trying to accomplish would be helpful in tracking do…
  • Hi Jocelyn,

    The TppMemo object was not designed to emmulate the behavior of the TMemo
    object (or the Windows Multiline Edit Control). It was our own design to
    easily output multiple lines of text on a report.

    If yo…

    Tech Tip: Loop Thru All Objects in a Report

    A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set of components. The basic …
  • Hi Michael,

    If you are able to run this report successfully, and your client has been
    able to run this report successfully in the past, there has to be something
    that was changed recently with your client's setup. There are n…
  • Hi Michael,

    This is not a known issue. What are the differences between your client's
    machine and yours? Are you sure your client is getting access to the data
    to be displayed? Try having your client connect a dbgrid to his…
  • Hi Ali,

    If you trace into your example code, what is the value of the length of the
    "accfullname" returning as? Try moving your code to the
    DetailBand.BeforePrint and seeing if that helps.

  • Hi David,

    Unfortunately the property editor on the Rich Text dialog was not designed
    to be a separate entity. It is however just a simple mix of panels and
    TppTreeView objects for the most part and should not be too difficult…
  • Hi David,

    Take a look at the MailMerge feature of the TppRichText component. This
    will allow you to dynamically add data tags to your rich static rich text
    that will change based on the data that is being traversed. If you w…
  • Hi Marc,

    The method you describe below seems like the most logical way to continue
    with your project. Let me know if you have any issues as you implement
    this. Good luck in Replacing TppRichText by TppRichView in RTM files Comment by nicocizik April 2005
  • Hi Felix,

    Try the following code...

    Report.Template.FileName := 'C:\myReport.rtm';
    Report.Template.SaveToFile;

  • Hi Diogo,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to hide a column or row in the crosstab
    component in ReportBuilder. You could however use the TppMatrix methods to
    delete and re-add columns as you need. See the TppMatrix topic in …
  • Hi Rob,

    Try using the OnDrawCommandCreate event to determine the actual height of an
    object. For instance if you have a memo object, you could do the
    following...

    using
    ppDrwCmd,
    ppUtils,
    ppTyp…
  • You may need to test a few events to find one that gives you the proper
    output. I would recommend starting with the DetailBand.BeforePrint.

  • Hi Diogo,

    There is extensive documentation of the TppMatrix object in the
    ReportBuilder help file. You can access the TppMatrix object using the
    TppCrossTab.Matrix property. From there you can use the DeleteColumn,
    Ins…
  • Hi Ian,

    The Report Outline was not meant to be natively included with the TppViewer.
    If you would like to add it manually, please take a look at the following
    example. This should get you on the right track.

  • Hi Trevor,

    I am a bit unclear about exactly what you would like your report to look
    like but you may need to manually add the drawcommands of the boxes in after
    the detail band has finished traversing for the page to get the e…
  • Hi Pedro,

    The DBText component contains a DisplayFormat property where you can either
    declair your own display format of choose one of the pre-selected display
    formats given by ReportBuilder in the Designer by using the popup …
  • Hi Rene,

    The TppForm class contains the public property "Report". Typecasting this
    property as a TppReport should give you access to the report.
    (TppCustomPrinterDialog is a descendent of TppForm).

  • Hi Rene,

    Thanks for the suggestion. However ReportBuilder was designed so that every
    dialog (with the exception of the Designer) is completely replacable and
    customizable. For an easier solution, you could create a custom pr…
  • This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
  • Diogo,

    In my testing, I am unable to recreate this behavior. Are you loading a
    template at runtime by chance? As a test, try commenting out all your
    event handlers and see if that makes a difference.

  • Hi Diogo,

    I apologise, I am still a bit unclear about what you mean by "process a
    second time." Are you running the report once, closing it, then running it
    again? Or are you processing the same crosstab component multiple ti…
  • Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you currently using? Please give
    me the exact steps you are taking to recreate this issue.

  • Hi Erik,

    These properties were not included in ReportBuilder 7.04. They will be
    added into the next release of ReportBuilder 9.

  • Hi Yelena,

    Thanks for the example. However, this is a fairly complex report. After
    taking a look at your design, I do not see anything that would cause this
    behavior, but it would be much easier to work with if I could see a…
  • Hi Yelena,

    I am unable to recreate this on my machine. If possible, please send a
    small example of this behavior to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip
    format and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Mark,

    1. See the article below on the proper way to loop through all the objects
    in a report.

    2. ReportBuilder 9 includes a new Anchor feature for every component which
    allows you to anchor an object to a singl…
  • Hi,

    ReportBuilder does not natively support the ndBlankPage, ndMessageOnPage
    combination (i.e. completely blank report with a message on the page)
    because when the ndBlankPage option is selected, a page isn't even sent to
  • Hi Steve,

    This is not a known issue. The fact that you are able to run this report on
    other essentially identical machines leads me to believe that there is an
    issue with the setup of your machine. Are you able to execute th…
  • Hi Steve,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? Are you able to single
    out the difference between this particular repor that causes the error and
    those that work correctly?
