  • Hi Diego,

    Thanks for the further explaination.

    1. It is not possible to print two reports at the same time so you will
    need to combine your two reports into one. I would suggest placing two
    section style subreport…
  • Hi Diego,

    Inside the print dialog there is an combo box named "Print What". This box
    allows you to printe either all pages, even pages only, or odd pages only.
    This simply sets the PageRequest.PageRange property of the TppDev…
  • Hi,

    I'm going to need the exact versions of TeeChart, ReportBuilder, and Delphi
    you are using in order to give you an accurate answer. If ReportBuilder is
    installed after a supported version of TeeChart has been installed, Te…
  • Hi Bora,

    This is something that WPTools should address during the loading process of
    older archive files. All an archive file does is store each drawcommand in
    binary format as it is displayed on a finished report. This info…
  • Hi Ara,

    One simple way to increase the size of a dynamic region is to add a shape to
    the bottom of it. For instance if you add a rectangle to the bottom of
    Region 3 and toggle its visibility and height based on the height of …
  • Hi Maud,

    The Data Tree is probably displaying but somehow it is in a non visible area
    of your screen or too small to see. Try deleting your RBuilder.ini file
    from your {WINSYS} directory (i.e. Windows\System32\) and see if t…
  • Hi Harald,

    For furture reference we prefer you use you name as the recipient when
    making a post.

    My suggestion in your case is to create the printer device yourself after
    your custom print button has been pressed. …
  • Hi Steve,

    Unfortunately we do not have any exmples of this due to the fact that every
    printer is different. I would suggest taking a look at the documentation on
    the DEVMODE structure in the Windows SDK help. Once you are fa…
  • Hi Steve,

    ReportBuilder can natively control duplexing and the output bin however some
    more advanced printer features are not supported due to the fact that they
    are not natively supported in the Windows API. Take a look at t…
  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks, I received your example and will get back to you as soon as
    possible.

    If possible, please send an 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
    for you.

  • Hi Manuel,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? How are you
    implementing this counter? Are you using a subreport somewhere in your
    report? If you need to set or update a value after every record, you need
  • Hi Manuel,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which version of
    ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? Are you able to recreate this behavior
    using the demos provided in the \RBuilder\Demos\... directory. Is there an…
  • Hi Leon,

    Take a look at the following article on how to properly link JIT pipelines
    in a master detail relationship. You can also take a look at Demo 139
    located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory for a working <…
  • Steve,

    I am confused about how you are linking your master detail relationship. If
    the Customer pipeline is the master and Correspondance pipeline is the
    detail, then why are you setting the Correspondance datasource as the m…
  • Hi Pat,

    The TppImage.Picture property is a reference to the TPicture object. If
    you take a look at the Delphi help on the TPicture.LoadFromFile topic it
    states the following.... "Use LoadFromFile to read a picture from disk.…
  • Hi Harald,


    Thanks for the suggestion. This was a design decision we made when creating
    the PDF Device in order to completely separate the device from the report,
    unless the user needed it. It was a toss-up between conv…
  • Hi Harald,

    Sorry, I didn't give you all the information you needed. If you are using a
    page list you need to set the device.PageSetting to psPageList. Also the
    ScreenDevice is part of the Viewer object, not the Report, my mi…
  • Hi Brandie,

    The PDF device currently exports all RTF controls as bitmap images. During
    this conversion process, some of the quality of the richtext can definitely
    be lost. One option is to replace the richtext controls with …
  • Hi Ian,

    Below is an article we have on the EAN-128 barcode. I am not sure if other
    customers have successfully used PSoft with RB 9. Perhaps one of them will
    chime in with their advise.

    ---------------------------…
  • Hi Ian,

    ReportBuilder natively supports 10 one-dimentional barcode types. Which
    type of barcodes are you looking to generate?

  • Thank you for inquiring about ReportBuilder.

    ReportBuilder does not currently support C++Builder. One option would be to
    create the report using Delphi and then compile them into a package that can
    be used by C++ Builder.
  • Hi Bill,

    1. ReportBuilder 9.03 natively includes a PageBreak component that when
    placed on a report will cause the page to break where ever you need.

    2. Take a look at the following article on causing a page break witho…
  • Hi Carsten,

    ReportBuilder does not have the ability to sort your data. It simply
    accesses each record top to bottom and dislpays them. Any sorting will need
    to either be done in the connected dataset or in an in-memory datas…
  • Hi Steve,

    As a test, comment all your event handler code out and re-run your report.
    If this helps the issue, periodically begin adding the event code back to
    isolate where the problem is being caused.

    This question was answered/responded to in your previous post. Below was my
    reply. If you would like you may continue the conversation on this new

  • Hi Ken,

    I'm a bit confused about what you need. Are you trying to customize the
    preview window or the designer window? If you want the ability to add
    components to a report at runtime you will need to use the TppDesigner
  • Hi Ken,

    The process in which you create a custom preview did not change between
    version 7 and 9. The most common way to easily create a custom preview
    dialog that is available still to create a preview plugin.

  • Hi Karen,

    I'm sorry but I am unable to test the examples I send with older versions of
    ReportBuilder.

    You may be getting this error when trying to access the printer object. In
    the example this is an easy way to ge…
  • Hi Karen,

    Sorry, I meant to give you this example in my last post :).
