  • Hi Bert,

    Try using the Group.OnGetBreakValue event to set the current break value to
    all uppercase before the group breaks.

  • Hi Gerd,

    Yes, ReportBuilder does not embed the fonts used into the executable or
    template. The fonts used in the report need to be available on the
    user's machine or a (Windows selected) substitute will be used.

  • Hi Fillipe,

    Yes, ReportBuilder does not deploy the font files used in each report. It
    will search the fonts already installed on a users machine for available
    fonts using the Windows API and use the proper one provided. If y…
  • Hi Jon,

    You can check the class type of a band to determine which band you are in.
    If you would only like to access objects in the detail band, try using a
    report object loop that checks if the band is a TppDetailBand object.<…
  • Hi Alex,

    You can adjust the amount to space under each line using the TppMemo.Leading
    property. This is a published property so it is available from the Delphi
    object inspector.

  • Hi Bob,

    Are you making these calls from RAP or Delphi code?

    If this is from Delphi, you are given direct access to each variable when
    you place them inside a report. For instance from the OnCalc of the
    variable ins…
  • Hi Murat,

    Does it take the same amount of time to save to file that it does to save to
    your SQL Server database? Are you able to recreate this behavior using the
    SQL Server demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\.. directory?
  • Hi Murat,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Does saving to file take
    about the same time it takes to save to your DB? Do your templates contain
    numerous large objects such as ppImage or ppRichText components? If…
  • Hi Anthony,

    The RichText components in ReportBuilder are essentially wrappers around the
    TRichEdit object in Delphi. Are you able to create a more suitable output
    using Delphi?

    Take a look at the following article …

    Take a look at the following example that does exactly what you describe

  • Hi John,

    This is not a known issue. Do any DBText components show up for any report
    being printed in this system? If so, try to find what is different between
    the two reports. Also, I recomend upgrading your version of Repo…

  • Hi FD,

    Delphi includes the built-in routines WeekOfTheMonth() and WeekOfTheYear()
    to find the week number. If you are using RAP, these routines are not
    natively available so you will need to create a passthru function to add …
  • Hi Everett,

    For future reference, it is best to post RAP questions in the RAP newsgroup.
    This helps us provide a more accurate answer and a quicker response.

    When creating a RAP passthru function you use the ExecuteFuncti…
  • Hi Silvio,

    I believe this was a bug that was fixed for a later release. Try upgrading
    to the latest version of ReportBuilder (10.04) and test with that. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com for upgrade instructions.

  • Hi Jaime,

    From the RTF editor in ReportBuilder you can use the Left, Center, Right,
    Full buttons in the toolbar to change the text alignment. In code you will
    need to use the TppRichText.Paragraph property to access the TPara…
  • Hi Max,

    For future reference, please post RAP questions to the RAP newsgroup. This
    helps us understand what you are using and allows us to give you a more
    accurate answer faster.

    For RAP, you will need to take a sl…
  • Hi Max,

    Variables will not reset unless you tell them to using the ResetType
    property. Are you certain the ResetType is set to ReportEnd (which is the
    default)? Note that you will need to use multiple variables to successful…
  • Hi Max,

    Please read my previous post again. Do not use DBCalc components, use
    Variable components and make the calculation manually in the OnCalc event of
    the variable inside the detail band of the detail subreport.

  • Hi Max,

    The proper way to calculate a sum inside the master report of a value in a
    subreport is to place an invisible TppVariable inside the detail band of the
    subreport and use its OnCalc event to update the value(s) of a Tpp…
  • Adrian,

    ReportBuilder 10.04 for Delphi 7 already supports TeeChart 7.07. On my
    machine I have Delphi 7, RB 10.04 and TeeChart 7.07 working correctly. Did
    you try completely uninstalling TeeChart as well as ReportBuilder and …
  • Hi Adrian,

    TeeChart 7.08 has been released for Delphi 2006 only and is currently
    supported with ReportBuilder 10.04 for Delphi 2006.

    It sounds like you may have a corrupt installation. Take a look at the
    article be…
  • Hi Adrian,

    Which version of Delphi are you using? Are you seeing this behavior both at
    runtime and design time? Are these charts that have been created in the
    past and saved in a template or are they all newly created charts…

  • Brian,

    The example is working as designed. If you change the DEVMODE setting in
    the driver printer dialog, it is changing the DEVMODE structure in the
    Windows API. This should be reflected when you print the report. Some
  • Hi Brian,

    ReportBuilder uses simple generic Windows API commands to communicate with
    your printer. This means that RB only supports the standard printer
    features defined by the Windows API. There are however ways to access <…
  • Hi Max,

    Be sure the SkipWhenNoRecords property is set to False for the detail
    DataPipeline. This will allow the master records to print even though there
    are no details available.

  • Hi Fillipe,

    If you place the Name inside the group header, it will only print once per
    group and will change every time the group changes. Would this work in your
    case?

    This helps us understand your question better and answer it quicker.

  • Hi Victor,

    The TdaDataModule is essentially the view you see when you select the data
    tab in the designer (DADE). If you do not have any data views inside the
    data tab for this report, try opening it and re-saving. This shou…
