  • Hi Alvin,

    Unfortuately horizontal traversal is very limited in ReportBuilder. If you
    set up a columnar report with LeftToRight traversal
    (DetailBand.ColumnTraversal) you may be able to get a result similar to the
    one yo…
  • Hi Harry,

    Thanks for the suggestion. This is working as designed however we will
    consider making this into an option for a later release.

  • Hi Mauro,

    These strings must not have been translated for lgProtugueseBrazil. You can
    manually add these translations in using the String Translation application.
    See the ReadMe.doc file located in the \RBuilder\Languages\...…
  • Hi Teller,

    This can be done by creating a custom report component and registering it
    with ReportBuilder. Your component would be very similar to the Shape
    component only with instructions to draw a triangle for instance rathe…
  • Hi Branden,

    This is not a known behavior for a Variable in the Group footer. If
    possible, please send a small example of this behavior in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Branden,

    Instead of using DBCalcs, you will need to use two TppVariables. Place one
    variable inside the detail band of your subreport and one in the Group
    Footer of your main report. Then, inside the OnCalc event of the f…
  • Hi,

    Sorry, I will explain a bit further.

    Try placing a TppRegion inside the detail band of a new report. Then place
    as many objects as you like inside the TppRegion boundaries (excluding other
    regions). Now you ha…
  • Hi,

    If you place all the objects in your detail band in a TppRegion you can
    easily check the values of separate fields using the Band.BeforePrint event
    then set the entire row's Visibility to false by setting the
    TppRegi…
  • Hi,

    Try setting the SuppressRepeatedValues property of the TppDBText component
    to True. This will not show a repeated value of the chemical result if they
    are the same.

  • Hi Neil,

    There have been numerous changes made since RB 6 to fix this problem.
    Please download a trial version of ReportBuilder 9.02 and see if the problem
    is fixed.

  • Hi Alvin,

    Before the DBText prints you will need to get its value and manually measure
    the text to see if it will fit in the alloted space. If it will not, you
    can then resize the DBText component and have it wrap so the titl…
  • Hi Jon,

    Yes, the Border property is published so it is available inside RAP.

  • Hi Harry,

    Weight is measured in points, which in some cases are much larger than
    pixels. Try setting the weight to "0". This should give you a hair line
    border (1 pixel).

  • Hi Mike,

    ReportBuilder does not communicate directly with your printer driver. It
    uses generic Windows API commands to talk to Windows which in turn sends
    instructions to your printer driver and on to your printer. Using the…
  • Hi Tom,

    Unfortunately the ReprintOnSubsequentPages property is not available for the
    DBMemo component. By default the values are re-printed when the page
    breaks. Below is a small example demonstrating how to suppress this
  • Hi Jorge,

    Try placing your numerical records in quotes. This will prevent the text
    pipeline from using the thousandths separator as a field delimeter.

  • Hi Mauro,

    Thanks for the images. I now see what is happening, however I am unable to
    recreate this behavior on my machine. Please send a small example
    demonstrating this behavior in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.c…
  • Hi Mauro,

    If the component is big enough to fit the "abcde" word on the first line it
    will. By default the last line of a paragraph will print normally (non full
    justified) leaving the space at the end of the line. Try setti…
  • Hi Maruo,

    Sorry for the delay. I'm still confused about what the problem is. In my
    testing with an indented DBMemo, the full justification seems to work
    correctly. What about the indented text on your screen or printer is <…
  • Hi Mauro,

    This is not a known issue with the DBMemo component. Which version of
    ReportBuilder are you using? Are you certain the memo you are assigning the
    DBMemo is not indented at the beginning? In my testing using the "N…
  • Hi Sven,

    Unfortunately the shift left function is not available in RAP. This could
    be easily added however using a simple PassThru function created in Delphi.
    See the ReportBuilder Developer's guide for a complete example of …
  • Hi Marcel,

    You need to set the ShiftRelativeTo property of the bottom crosstab to the
    upper crosstab component. This will prevent the overlap behavior you are
    experiencing.

  • Hi Lucy,

    I have not heard of this behavior before. Which news reader are you using?
    Do you perhaps have firewall or other security software that could prevent
    you from accessing a news server? Maybe one of our other customer…
  • Hi Lucy,

    You should be able to log into our public newsgroups without any problems
    using the news reader of your choice (i.e. XanaNews or Outlook Express).
    Clicking the following link should load the default news reader on you…
  • Hi Lucy,

    See demos 102 - 107 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    for examples on exporting to a text file.. (dm0102.pas - dm0107.pas).

  • Hi Lucy,

    ReportBuilder 9 is able to natively export your reports to PDF and Text
    files (see the TppPDFDevice and TppTextFileDevice topics in the RB help for
    more information). For the other formats, you will need to purchase …
  • Hello,

    I believe this is the normal behavior of most Windows forms. If you would
    like to customize this behavior you may need to create a custom preview
    plugin and perhaps use the OnResize event to set the zoom setting when t…
  • Hi Daniel,

    In my testing with RB 9.02, the Page Up and Page Down keys properly scroll
    the preview window up and down. Is this not functioning correctly in RB
    7.04? You may try downloading a trial version of RB 9.02 and testi…
  • Hi Jairzinhio,

    This may be a limitation of the barcode you are using. Most barcodes need
    to have the same proportion lines to be successfully read by a barcode
    reader. Try adjusting the Bar Width and Wide Bar Ratio in the co…
