  • Hi Paul,

    1. Items in a report print according to the z-order (i.e. the order in
    which items were placed on the report). You can adjust the z-order using
    the Send To Back and Bring To Front features built into each component.…
  • Hi Paul,

    If you are using Section style subreports (which you will need to use in
    this case), be sure you have the TppSubreport.ParentPrinterSetup property
    set to False. In my testing, I was able to assign a different bin to …
  • Hi Carlos,

    It is not possible to change a single report component from the preview
    window. You will need to redraw the page you are viewing to show any
    changes made. You can use the TppDrawCommand.RedrawPage property to redr…
  • Hi,

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

    Take a look at the example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\4.
    Custom AutoSearch Dialog\... directory. T…
  • Hi Luis,

    Thanks for the info. There is now a patch available for RB 10.04 that fixes
    this issue. Please send a small email to support@digital-metaphors.com
    requesting the patch if you are interested.

  • Hi Santy,

    These properties are obtained from the RBuilder.ini file located in your
    \Windows\.. directory. Deleting this file will enable these properties to
    carry through.

  • Hi Nols,

    ReportBuilder offers an open architecture enabling other companies or
    individuals to easily add export devices. At design time, these devices are
    registered using the Component registration in the Delphi IDE. At run…
  • Hi Nols,

    ReportBuilder does not have native RTF export. You most likely still have
    the Pragnaan package installed or one of its files included in your uses
    clause. Currently ReportBuilder 10 is capable of exporting to Archiv…
  • Hi Nols,

    Which third party export device are you using to export to RTF? You may
    want to try contacting them directly for a quicker response.

  • Hi Mauro,

    1. Try downloading a trial edition of ReportBuilder 7.04 for Delphi 5 and
    test with that. There have been numerous enhancements made since RB 6.03.

    2. Be sure the machine you are working on has full access ri…
  • Hi Mauro,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? My first recommendation would
    be to upgrade your version of ReportBuilder and see if the problem still
    exists. The exception 'Canvas does not allow drawing' occurs when…
  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue with images stored on a DBISAM database. Are you
    certain the GraphicType property is set to JPEG? In my testing with RB
    10.04, I was able to successfully view a jpeg image.

  • Hi Burton,

    The TBX toolbars we now use are defined by the current theme that is being
    used. We include five themes with ReportBuilder however it is possible to
    create your own to meet your color and effect needs. If for inst…
  • Hi Adam,

    The TppCustomText.DisplayFormat property is protected. Try using the
    descendent class of the TppCustomText.

  • Hi Mark,

    I checked both of our help systems and verified that there is a "protected"
    symbol next to the DisplayFormat property in the TppCustomText topic.

  • Hi Achot,

    This is not a known issue. There are many items that can contribute to slow
    performance including database speed, network speed, machine speed, etc.
    Also, it is a good idea if you are loading templates to save each …
  • Hi Joe,

    There should not be any issues upgrading your reports from RB 7.04 to RB
    10.04. If however you have altered the designer or have any of your own
    custom report components that you would like to use in RB 10.04, there …
  • Hi Murilo,

    For future reference, please use your name when posting to these newsgroups
    in the "from" section.

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you printing to PDF using
    the native PDF device that i…
  • Hi Chus,

    When you change the printer name at runtime, the other printer setup options
    will not be automatically changed. For instance, if the paper size is set
    to A4 by default and you simply select a new printer, you will al…
  • Hi Chus,

    Take a look at the following article on printing to continuous paper.
    Perhaps this will help resolve any issue you are currently having.

  • Achot,

    Please do not post attachments to these newsgroups.

    If you would like us to take a look at your application, please send a
    minimal example that demonstrates the problem in .zip format to
    support@digital-metap…
  • Hi Olaf,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In later versions of
    ReportBuilder we have enhanced the designer and preview to reduce flickering
    (RB 9 and 10). Perhaps try downloading a trial edition of RB 10.04 and …
  • Hi JeePee,

    One option would be to use the TdaSQLBuilder object to manually enter the
    current date into the Where clause of the query. This way, you would not
    need to remove any of the existing autosearch criteria or linking. …
  • Hi JeePee,

    The Query Designer in ReportBuilder currently does not support the use of
    SQL functions in the Where clause. You will need to edit the SQL manually
    in order to get the effect you are after.

  • Hi Lionello,

    The DBChart component in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around the actual
    DBTeeChart component in Delphi. This component will traverse the entire
    dataset that you give it. In order to only display the value for a sp…
  • Hi Jeff,

    The Report TextFile device built into ReportBuilder does not have any way to
    extend the length of a text field. One option would be to manually move
    some of the text objects just before you export to a text file so t…
  • Hi Paul,

    The CrossTab component is designed to always automatically sort your data.
    There is currently no way to turn this sorting off. The sorting is a
    fundamental part of the crosstab solution in ReportBuilder.

    -…
  • Hi Ennio,

    The subreport objects will honor the left and right positions you set on the
    designer. There is no need to alter the margins of the actual subreport
    design. Simply set ParentWidth to False and resize the subreport …
  • Hi,

    I'm sorry, perhaps I do not understand what your crosstab looks like. Take
    a look at demo 127 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs\... directory
    ct127.pas for an example of using the crosstab events to alter the te…
  • Hi PP,

    Take a look at the TppElement topic in the RBuilder help. This gives a good
    explaination of what each item is in a crosstab component. I believe in
    your case you will most likely need to use the OnGetDimensionCaption …
