  • Hi Bill,

    Are you able to see the checkbox components at designtime? If not, check
    the Component | Installed Packages... dialog in the Delphi IDE for the
    ReportBuilder Sample Components entry and be sure it is checked. If you…
  • Hi Andy,

    You should not have both the Source and Lib directories in you library path
    at once. One or the other should be sufficient. Please provide me with the
    steps you are taking to recreate this behavior. Below are the s…
  • Hi Andrew,

    Are you receiving this error at designtime or at runtime? Check your
    library path to be sure the MyChkBox.dcu is present. If not, try changing
    your path to \RBuilder\Source and see if that fixes the issue. I will…
  • Hi Andy,

    This error indicates that for some reason the dclRBU1010.bpl package was not
    installed into your IDE when RB was installed. Check the Installed Packages
    list in Delphi to be sure the "ReportBuilder Sample Components"…
  • Hi Andy,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    You need to be sure you installed all the languages when you installed
    ReportBuilder. In my testing with RB 10.01 Enterpris…

  • Hi Brandie,

    I'm sorry, but I am having a hard time understanding what you would like to
    happen. If you try to fit a 5 x 5 image into a space 4 x 6, you will of
    course get some distortion unless you shrink the image to 4 x 4 (…
  • Hi Brandie,

    Try setting the MaintainAspectRatio property of the image to True. This
    shoud keep the image proportionally valid regardless the size of the image
    box. If this does not help the issue, please give me the exact st…
  • Hi Wim and Rui,

    Thanks for all the info. I was able to track this down as just an issue
    with ReportBuilder for Delphi 2006. It seems Delphi 2006 sees a "ntext"
    field as the new datatype, ftWideMemo or a TWideMemoField. Ther…
  • Hi Rui,

    Did you change anything else when upgrading to RB 10? Are you using a newer
    version of SQL Server? Are you using a different version of Delphi?
    ReportBuilder relies on the Delphi representation of a field as a TField…
  • There is now a patch available for RB 10.01 that solves this issue. Please
    send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting this patch.

  • This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
  • Hi Alvin,

    As I mentioned in my previous post, if you wish to manually edit or format
    the text in a TppRichText component, you will need to use the SelStart,
    SelLength, SelAttributes and SelText properties. You could perhaps a…
  • Hi Lloyd,

    Where are you assigning the TppMemo.Lines property? In my testing with the
    following code below, the report generated correctly after assigning the
    Lines property before making the call to TppReport.Print.

  • Hi Robert,

    Unfortunately the Windows Task Manager is not a very reliable way to monitor
    memory usage. Are you able to confirm this with an actual memory manager?
    Which version of Delphi are you using to test with?

  • Hi,

    Bob is correct. The header and footer bands are not available in a Child
    style Subreport. You will need to use the title or a group header in it's
    place.

  • Hi Todd,

    Take a look at the example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser
    Databases\InterBase\4. IB Objects\... directory. There is a Readme document
    inside this folder which gives instructions on how to connect to an
  • Hello,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the vertical size of a crosstab
    cell to fit wrapped text. You can customize the text shown on a single line
    using the OnGetCaptionText event of the crosstab. You may try tak…
  • Hi Yannis,

    I am unsure the reason however my guess would be something to do with the
    printer driver. You may try upgrading your printer driver or try printing
    to a different printer and see if that changes things.

  • Hi Yannis,

    Thanks for the info. You may consider upgrading to a later version of
    ReportBuilder and seeing if the problem still exists.

    in Field frame showing in a specific printer Comment by nicocizik March 2006
  • Hi Yannis,

    This is not a known issue. Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you
    using? Does this frame show up in the Previewer on screen. Be sure you are
    not setting the Border property of the text oject. Also, be sur…
  • HI Jeroen,

    Thanks for all the good info. I created a patch for the IBExpress demo that
    solves all the issues that pertain directly to that example. Send an email
    to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll get it to you asap.…
  • Hi Jason,

    Excellent, glad to hear it's working. A quick note, there have been two
    maintenance releases since RB 10.02 which have included over 50 fixes and
    numerous enhancements. This is a free upgrade to registered RB 10.x …
  • Hi Jason,

    I apologize for the delay. For some reason my news reader did not pick up
    your last post.

    Have you taken a look at ReportBuilder 10? It includes a completely new
    toolbar and menu which now looks very XP-…
  • Hi Jason,

    Have you tried using ReportBuilder 10.01 and seeing if the problem still
    exists? As I mentioned before, this is not a known issue and in my testing
    with RB 9.03 on my XP machine, I was unable to recreate this behavi…
  • Hi Jason,

    This is not a known issue. Is this behavior happening at design time and
    run time? In my quick testing with RB 9.03, the bold, italic, and underline
    buttons work correctly. I would suggest reinstalling your versio…
  • Hi Rodrigo,

    If you would like to show the total number of pages in the report inside the
    title band, you can use the TppReport.AbsolutePageCount property. You will
    also need to set the TppReport.PassSetting to psTwoPass for t…
  • Hi,

    Since you have already created a custom preview plugin, you now have
    complete control over how the preview will be displayed. You could either
    add the logic into your custom previewer to show or hide the print button as <…
  • Louis,

    Unfortunately for this to work correctly you will need to reset the report
    engine after you alter the text of the label and although the engine
    property is available in RAP, the reset method is not. You will need to
  • Hi Louis,

    The TppDrawCommand.RedrawPage property has been added into RAP and should
    function correctly. Have you tried this code in RAP? What problems have
    you encountered?
