  • Hi Mike,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Does this only happen with IBO components? In my testing with RB 9.03
    Delphi 7 and IBO, I am not able to recreate this issue. Here are the steps
    I'm taking.

    1. Place a TIBO…
  • Hi Bart,

    This is not a known issue. Are you able to recreate this issue using one of
    the CrossTab demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. CrossTabs\...
    directory? If so, please give me the steps I can take to recreate it on …
  • Hi Ronhald,

    When exporting to a Report Emulation Text File, keep in mind that the
    location of each text component needs to be converted into a position on a
    text grid (Basically placing it in Notepad). This can cause the posi…
  • Hi Keith,

    According to the Pragnaan web site, they have version 2.08 available for
    ReportBuilder 9.02. I would assume it would be a matter of simply
    rebuilding the Pragnaan packages with the new RB 9.03 source to get it
  • Hi Keith,

    We are not aware of anyone who has migrated these components to RB 9.
    Perhaps if there is someone they will answer your post. Here is an article
    on the RCL changes for RB 9.

  • Hi,

    If you are using ReportBuilder 9 or above, you can use the Anchors feature
    of each component to be sure they shift according to the page size. This
    feature will only shift components however, there is no built in way to <…
  • Hi Carlos,

    ReportBuilder does not communicate with the printer driver directly. It
    uses the Windows API to send generic commands. I recommend either using the
    old driver or perhaps contacing Oki driver support and finding ou…
  • Hi Carlos,

    Are you able to print within this inch with other applications? If not,
    this may be part of the non-printable area of the printer you are using.
    This also may be due to the fact that you are using the incorrect or …
  • Hi Darren,

    Thanks for trying ReportBuilder.

    I have not seen this behavior before for RB 9.03. How large are the images
    you are trying to load? The Demo version should work with the same
    performance as the register…
  • Hi Dave,

    Thanks for the info. I will keep this issue in mind and if I come up with
    anything, I will let you know. If you do come across the cause of the
    problem, please let me know so I can try to recreate it on my machine a…
  • Hi Dave,

    We have not seen this behavior before. JPEG images are rendered to the
    screen using the built-in Delphi TJPEGImage object. I do not believe Kodak
    Imaging should have any effect on the ReportBuilder output. Do you s…
  • Hi Dan,

    Excellent! Keeping data processing local to the dataset always makes for a
    happier report.

  • Hi Dan,

    Unfortunately the MailMerge feature is only designed to handle values taken
    from a dataset. We have had requests in the past to add an event that
    allows you to override this behavior and add in your own values for a l…
  • Hi Larry,

    We do not know of any other charting products that work with ReportBuilder
    however if you do find a product that you like and it produces a chart image
    in Delphi, it is rather easy to transfer that image to a ReportB…
  • Hi Larry,

    You can use the TppDPTeeChart.Chart property to access the actual
    TCustomChart object being used. I believe then you have access to the Tools
    property which gives you access to any chart tools you have created. See…
  • Hi Jaweed,

    The fact that all other reports work correctly and this report does not
    leads me to believe that there is something different about this one report
    causing the issue. Try removing certain pieces of the report (oute…
  • Hi Glenn,

    Sorry, it appears I mis-read your first post. You mention that this only
    happens with one report, what is different about this report compared to
    others? What type of printer are you printing to? Are you using the…
  • Hi Jaweed,

    Are you having an issue with full pages printing black or just certain
    images printing black? The full black pages issue is not known and is
    probably due to a driver confliction. As for the black images issue. RB…
  • Hi Glenn,

    Image processing in ReportBuilder was enhanced for RB 7.04 which almostly
    completely removed all cases of the "black image" problem. You will need to
    upgrade to this version or later to fix the problem.

    -…
  • Hi Louis,

    We have not enhanced the image processing since RB 7.04. What problems are
    you encountering with images?

    There are however many good reasons to upgrade to RB 9 including the
    following...

    1. Un…
  • Hi Kei,

    Did you add ppTypes to your uses clause?

  • Hi Holger,

    About .NET
    -----------------
    ReportBuilder 9 for VCL is a native Win32 product.

    A ReportBuilder for VCL.NET product has been shelved, just prior to
    completion. There are no plans to release it unless …
  • Hi,

    Unfortunately this scenario is not supported by the SavePrinterSetup
    routine. If the user changes the printer name, then prints to file anyway,
    the printer setup from the print dialog is never assigned to the printer
  • Hello,

    You can determine which device your user is printing to by checking the
    Report.PrintDialog.DeviceType. If they are printing to a file, you will
    need to manually save the file options to your .ini file and re-load them …
  • Hi Bert,

    Are you using RAP? If so, it is better to post your question in the RAP
    newsgroup to help us understand your issue easier. The corresponding Delphi
    routine to the "Left" function you speak of is the LeftStr function…
  • Hi Larry,

    ReportBuilder 9.x does not support Delphi 2006. ReportBuilder 10 will
    support Delphi 2006 when it is released.

    Do you mean Delphi 2005? :).

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? If you …
  • Hi Steve,

    PageBreaks can be visually confusing because they occur according to the
    z-order (or the order in which items were created in a band). Once a page
    break occurs, the next components in the z-order will print as if th…
  • Hi,

    Where are you changing the charset of the TppMemo? Do you get the same
    behavior using other components such as a TppLabel or TppRichText?

  • Hi Jon,

    Try downloading a trial version of RB 9.03 server and see of that solves the
    issue. In my testing, I was able to see the summary band in a single page
    client report.
