  • Hi Fellipe,

    Instead of using the DBCalc component to calculate a total across a
    subreport, you will need to make the calculation manually using TppVariable
    components. Take a look at the following example...

  • Hi Benton,

    Try placing a TppRegion component inside your detail band with its
    ParentHeight and ParentWidth properties set to True, then place all the
    existing components inside that region. Finally set the
    TppRegion.Kee…
  • Hi Peter,

    I'm a bit unclear about why you need to change the record count while the
    pipeline is still open. This technically should be something that is done
    while the pipeline is closed, then when it is opened, the EOF and B…
  • Hi,

    This is not a feature of ReportBuilder. In order to get something like this
    working you would be required to alter the ReportBuilder source. You are
    welcome to try this, however I cannot guarantee that it is even possibl…
  • Hi Gianantonio,

    2. When using TeeCharts in ReportBuilder you will be using a wrapper object
    named TppTeeChart. This wrapper object descends from TppComponent which
    contains the Region property. Setting this property to a sp…
  • Hi Steve,

    I'm still a bit unclear. Where is the Soci pipeline located? Where and
    what are you using the OnTraversal event for? The fact that you are getting
    this error implies that you are loading a template that has imple…
  • Hi Steve,

    1. What is the exact version of ReportBuilder you are using?

    2. Are you loading templates that are expecting to be connected to a
    certain datapipeline? If so, this could be your problem. Does the Soci

    What is the error that you are getting? If you trace to the line of code
    below, are the NAME and FOLDER_ID fields actually sending values to the
    PrintPreview routine?

  • Hi Marcel,

    The full PDF device should be included with the trial version of
    ReportBuilder Pro. If you are using the device at runtime, be sure you
    include ppPDFDevice in your uses clause. There is extensive help and code
  • Hi Marcelo,

    Are you loading these reports from templates? If so, you need to be sure
    the ShowPrintDialog property is set to True when the templates are saved
    down.

  • Hi Heiko,

    Unfortunately there is no way to simply change the table name without having
    to re-assign the fields as well. If you want to do this at runtime, you can
    use the SQLBuilder to remove the first table, then re-assign a…
  • Hi Heiko,

    For future reference please let us know you are using RAP or post all RAP
    questions in the RAP newsgroup. This helps us understand what is going on
    and allows us to give you a quicker and more accurate answer most o…
  • Hi Heiko,

    When you say the variables do not calculate, do you mean that the OnCalc
    event in not even fired or the value is incorrect? Try placing a break
    point inside the OnCalc event of these variables and see what is happen…
  • Hi Carsten,

    Where are you checking the height of the header band? If possible, please
    send a small example of this behavior I can run on my machine in .zip format
    to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it fo…
  • Hi Randy,

    Be sure your dataset is ordered on the grouped field. ReportBuilder takes
    the data as is.

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately the Report.BeforePrint event fires too late to change the
    printer on the fly. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? If you
    are using the latest, RB 9.02, there have been some new events added to RAP…

  • Hi Ronhald,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. In my testing with RB 9.02,
    the assigning a custom paper size seems to work correctly. Are you able to
    recreate this issue with a minimal report? (i.e. dropping a lab…
  • Hi Ronhald,

    Where are you assigning the custom paper size? Be sure that if you are
    loading templates, each template has been saved down with your custom paper
    size defined.

  • Hi Fillipe,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Take a look at the following
    example. It shows what I was talking about in my first post.

  • Hi Fillipe,

    Instead of using DBCalcs in the group footers, try using TppVaribles
    instead. For instance...

  • Hi Steffen,

    You can loop through each event handler in your code module using the
    TraCodeModule.Programs property. Then typecasting them as TraEventHandlers,
    you can access the Component property to find out which components …
  • Hi Ken,

    If you try this code connected to a different printer (or at least connected
    to a different printer driver) do you still see the same performance

  • Hi Preston,

    Sorry, this is not possible with the current ReportBuilder print dialog. It
    is possible to replace any dialog (except the designer) in ReportBuilder
    with your own custom dialog however. This may be something you …
  • Preston,

    Where are you trying to retrieve the device type? If you are printing from
    the print dialog to Excel, you need to use the Report.PrintDialog.DeviceType
    property to find this information.

  • Hi Preston,

    Inside the Report.BeforePrint event, you can check to see which device your
    user is printing to then based on that information set the visible property
    of the footer band to False.

    You can change the device the report automatically prints to using the
    TppReport.DeviceType property. This propert is available in the object
