  • Hi Carlos,

    If your report is set up in the following way...

    It will by defaut print each DBText value in your dataset. Be sure you do
  • Hi Rege,

    The footer band is required to have a static height due to its relationship
    to the rest of the bands in the report. This means that it is unable to
    stretch for any dynamic components you place inside the band.

  • Hi Jaime,

    This was an issue with one of our RB 9.x installs and it probably carried
    over when you upgraded to RB 10. Inside your Component | Instal Packages
    list in the Delphi IDE, look for an entry "ReportBuilder DBTeeChart …
  • Hi Donovan,

    Be sure you installed ReportBuilder after you installed TeeChart. This way
    the RB/TeeChart packages can be compiled with the correct files. You can
    find instructions on how to rebuild these packages manually in t…

  • Hi Alan,

    I'm going to need a little more information about your application. Is this
    a custom preview? What type of operations are you doing inside the RB
    events? Are you using RAP? Are you able to recreate this behavior w…

  • Hi Jeremy,

    ReportBuilder 10 includes a native PDF export device which fully supports
    rotated text objects. Rotated text was also added as a native feature to
    for version 9 or later.

    Two options:

    1. Access the Printer object of the TppCustomPrintDialog and use its
    PrinterName property.

    lsPrinterName := TppPrinter(ppReport1.PrintDialog.Printer).Pr…

  • Hi Jurgen,

    Unfortunately the ReportBuilder PDF device does not support embedded fonts.
    This is something on our todo list for a future release. I believe other
    third party export devices such as Gnostice or Waler provide this…

  • Hi Mike,

    Take a look at the following article on lost event handlers. The
    BeforePrint event should always fire before the report prints to any device.

  • Hi Arvid,

    You are receiving this error because Delphi is still loading the version of
    TeeChart that is included with the product. Be sure you have fully
    installed TeeChart 7.07 before installing ReportBuilder. First, try
  • Hi Glenn,

    Yes, I apoligize, I forgot what you were working on.

    Unfortunately without being able to view or debug the source of the app you
    are using, it will be very difficult to track down or fix the bug. The only
  • Hi Glenn,

    For future reference, we prefer that you use your real name when posting to
    these newsgroups.

    Is this a DBText component that is not displaying? Is it connected to the
    pipeline that the report is using? …

  • Hi Debbie,

    ReportBuilder 10 is available for Delphi 6, 7, 2005, and 2006. I would
    recommend downloading a trial edition of ReportBuilder 10.03 for Delphi 6
    and testing some of your report with it. Be sure you back up any tem…
  • Hi Debbie,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In my testing with RB 10.03
    Build 2, I created a report with a subreport in teh detail band and
    connected it to an empty dataset. Then I placed a count DBCalc in the …
  • Hi Al,

    The Title band is a dynamic height band so if you are placing stretchable
    object inside it, they will be allowed to stretch beyond the size of a page.
    If you are dealing with static objects and are using a version of
  • Hi Gerhard,

    Thanks for the information. This is still an open issue with TeeChart 7.07,
    ReportBuilder 10.03, and Delphi 2006. We are currently in contact with
    Steema about this issue. The fact that it is only present for De…
  • Hi Nick,

    If you have the ParentPrinterSetup property set to False for each of your
    section subreports, you can simply assign the bin using the PrinterSetup
    property when designing the subreport. (i.e. selecting the subreport …
  • Hi Nick,

    Try using Section style subreports and make sure the ParentPrinterSetup
    property is set to False. This will ensure that the printer setup you
    define stays specific to the subreport.

    When you load a template, all the properties you have set for your report
    object are replaced with the ones saved with that template. You will need
    to use the Template event OnLoadEnd to ensure your report properties …
  • Hi Jozua,

    ReportBuilder 10.x is only available for Delphi 6, Delphi 7, Delphi 2005,
    and Delphi 2006. It is not possible to use RB 10.x with Delphi 5. If you
    purchase RB 10, you will have access to the last version of ReportB…
  • Hi Matthias,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not support Unicode. I am unsure if anyone
    has found a workaround to this limitation, perhaps they will chime in with
    their experiences.

  • Hi Austin,

    In the past, most problems dealing with Citrix were due to the fact that the
    user did not have proper access to the printer driver they were using.
    Since this is a new printer, perhaps the printer driver was not giv…

  • Hi Larry,

    The datapipeline should only return the raw data that it is given. Neither
    the pipeline or the DBBarcode call the ppDisplayFormat class. This class
    should be used for text objects such as TppDBText and TppVariable …
  • Hi Santy,

    In my testing with Delphi 7 and ReportBuilder 10.03, the angle property is
    functioning correctly at design time and runtime. Does this behavior occur
    at runtime as well? Perhaps try reinstalling ReportBuilder and s…
  • Hi Heiko,

    This is not a known issue. In my testing with RB 10.03 Build 2 and Delphi
    7, I am unable to recreate this behavior. Perhaps try downloading a trial
    copy of RB 10.03 and see if the problem still exists.

  • Hi Heiko,

    In my testing with RB 10.03 and two section subreports as you describe, I
    get the output you need. Be sure you have the ResetPageNo property for each
    subreport set to True.
