  • Hi Oliver,

    When a barcode is exported to PDF using the native device, it is first
    converted into a bitmap. This process can reduce the image quality of the
    barcode when it is then added to the PDF file. It is on our to-do li…
  • Hi Filip,

    In my testing with RB 7.04 and Delphi 5, the Template Error dialog shows up
    as expected as well. Are you running a multi-threaded application? If you

    and Delphi 7, the Template Error dialog showed up as expected when there
    were unavailable components or events defined in the template code.<…
  • Hi Jon,

    The Client Report is not an actual report. The best way to assign the
    document name to reports you are accessing over a server would be to open
    and re-save each report template file with a unique document name.

  • Sorry, I just realized there is an easier way. Changing the
    PrinterSetup.DocumentName property of the report object will change the name
    of the document displayed in the cancel dialog.

  • Hi Larry,

    ReportBuilder 10.03 does not natively support TeeChart 7.08. In order to do
    so you will need to rebuild all the ReportBuilder TeeChart packages.

  • Hi Larry,

    The order of the uses clause should not make a difference however I would
    not rule it out as the cause. I just created a simple example that consists

  • Hi Graham,

    Take a look at the OnDrawCommandClick event. When this event is assigned,
    the component is then "hot" or clickable inside the preview window. From
    there you can show a form, pass data, etc.

    The Template.Format property is the only thing that will affect the .rtm
    file format. Setting this to "Binary" should give you the binary stream
    code. Setting it to "ASCII" should give you a human readable object t…

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? We had some issues with the

  • Hi Mikael,

    Once you have the purchased versions of ReportBuilder and TExtraDevices, it
    is possible then to manually rebuild the TExtraDevices package with the
    current RBuilder source.

  • Hi Mikael,

    This error indicates that the TExtraDevices package was not compiled with
    the version of ReportBuilder you have installed. I would recommend
    contacting waler support (support@waler.com) for more information on how …
  • Hi Peter,

    Yes, if you are using a static height detail band and a fixed style
    subreport, the OnCalc event of the variable inside the detail band of the
    subreport will be the proper event to use to make your calculations.
  • Hi Kei,

    There is a limitation in ReportBuilder 7.x and earlier with calculating a
    page total in the Footer band when using a dynamic height detail band. One
    option is to use fixed style subreports and a static height detail b…
  • Hi Nicolas,

    This is not a bug, you will need to either re-save your templates with the
    changed TextFileName or re-assign it in the OnLoadEnd event of the template
    object. See the article below for more information.

  • Hi Nicolas,

    Each device should define the file extension automatically. For instance,
    if you are exporting to PDF and you set the TextFileName property to
    "MyReport", the PDF device will automatically add the .pdf extension t…

  • Hi Redmond,

    I'm a bit unclear about what exactly you need to do. Are you trying to use
    a DBCalc component to determine the minimum value in a field to be used
    later in the report? What about the DBCalc code do you not unders…

    Thanks for the information. We'll research this and possibly enhance the
    MAPI plugin for a later release of ReportBuilder.

    email products to prevent the spread of viruses and spam on unsuspecting
    users' machines. Currently there is no way to work around this issue.
