  • Hi Steve,

    ReportBuilder uses the Windows API to communicate with your printer, it does
    not have direct control over the print queue. You could possibly try
    setting up different print jobs for each ticket. If you change your …
  • Hi Alan,

    Are you able to recreate this issue with a simple example I could run on my
    machine? If so send it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and
    I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Alan,

    Unfortunately there are no built in features that will allow you to adjust
    the position of text objects in a row. It would be fairly easy to create
    your own dialog and position the objects yourself in code using a re…
  • Hi George,

    Sorry for the delay.

    I'm unclear about how you have your master-detail designed. Normally the
    detail subreport is located inside the detail band of the master report.
    This way for each master record, a d…

  • Hi Paul,

    Yes, this could be possible. What are the specifications of this report?
    Is this a large report? Is it a two pass report? Do you have CachePages
    set to True? Are there any large images present? How much data is b…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Do you have your datasets in a Master-Detail relationship? If not, I
    believe you can accomplish what you want by using Master-Detail datasets and
    no groups in the main report. Take a look at the following exampl…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Please provide me with an exact description of how you would like your
    report layout to look. This way I can hopefully offer a solution that meet
    all your requirements. A diagram could also be useful.

  • > About the group footers, the height of all them is set to 0.

    Unfortunately this does not matter, a new page will still be generated.

    If you need to use groups in the main report, you willnot be able to use
    Section su…
  • Hi Weverton,

    In Demo 51, you will notice that there is a title band, then a detail band
    with no other bands after that. If you have groups in the main report, then
    the blank pages are the group footers. Also, if you have a p…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Where is your subreport located. By definition, a section subreport will
    take its own page to start and finish, the the rest of the report will
    continue once it is done printing. If for instance you have a secti…
  • Hi Filip,

    1. Be sure you are using a two pass report. This is necessary in order for
    the report engine to determine which page is the last page.

    2. Try using the OnStartPage event to check for the last page. I believe…
  • Hi Marek,


    Yes, this was just an example to lead you in the right direction. The code
    I posted will not be added into ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Marek,

    Thank you for pointing this out. We will add event support to expose the
    status of the email message for a later release of ReportBuilder.
    Unfortunately to do this, the email source files cannot be interface

  • Hi Stuart,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    We have not seen this behavior before. Which version of Delphi are you
    using? I would first suggest updating your vers…
  • Hi,

    Be sure you have the GraphicType property of the DBImage set to JPEG and
    that you have ppJPEG added to your uses clause.

  • Hi Bob,

    I believe Waler (http://www.waler.com) offered a Quick Report to RB
    conversion utility in the past but I do not see it on their site any more.
    You may try contacting t…
  • Hi Marc,

    I believe in a linked environment such as yours, when SkipWhenNoRecords is
    True, it indicates that the report engine should skip to the next record of
    the master DataPipeline when no records are found in the detail
  • Hi Nols,

    It seems the Band.BeforePrint event does not fire late enough perhaps for
    the richtext component to contain the proper data. Try uisng the OnPrint
    event or OnGetRichText event of the ppDBRichText component and see if…
  • Hi Nols,

    As a test, try placing a break point where you define the SelLength in the
    event below and be sure it is a value above 0 when you run the report the
    second time.

  • Hi Todd,

    You need to set the ParentWidth property of the subreport to False. Then
    you will be able to shrink the width of the subreport object. Take a look
    at demo 73 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory f…
  • Hi Marcos,

    This property is not available for the Detail Band. What are you trying to
    accomplish? You can use the PrintPosRect property to determine the bottom
    position of the last detail band printed.

  • Hi Mark,

    ReportBuilder 9 and higher includes a native PDF export device. Using the
    ArchiveReader, you can export your .raf files to PDF by setting the
    AllowPrintToFile property to True and changing the device type to PDF. Yo…
  • Hi Weigand,

    This may have something to do with embedded font support however I believe
    Waler includes this feature in their product. Try contacting Waler support
    for a quicker response about this problem. (support@waler.com)…
  • Hi Nols,

    I'm not clear about what you mean by the HTML icons. Are these your browser
    icons or dialog icons provided by Pragnaan? If this is a Pragnaan feature,
    I would suggest contacting their support about its capabilities.…
  • Hi Nols,

    You can use the TppArchiveReader to export each .raf file to a certian
    format by assigning the DeviceType property (similar to using the TppReport
    object). Then you can export the archive files by calling
    Archi…
  • Hi Francois,

    Where are you setting the visibility of the region? Is it possible the
    visibility is being set to False or remaining False before or as the page
    breaks? Try tracing the code that toggles the visibility and be su…
  • Hi Paul,

    There is no built-in feature to do this in ReportBuilder however it would be
    possible to dynamically create and place multiple TppVariables based on how
    many you need before the report is printed. This may be a matte…
  • Hi Paul,

    Two options.

    1. Place two TppVariables in your group footer, and in the OnCalc event of
    each variable, increase the total sum based on the current field value.

    2. Place an invisible TppVariable insid…
