    Article: .Net ReportBuilder Support?
    ----------------------------------------

    Digital Metaphors is very excited about the .Net platform and Delphi for
    .Net.

  • Hi Bruno,

    This, along with many other helpful articles, is located in the
    digital-metaphors.public.reportbuilder.tech-tips newsgroup.

  • Luciana,

    All forms in ReportBuilder are replaceable. It is possible to create a
    descendent of the print dialog, along with any other forms that are not
    displaying properly, and have that reflect the language/position changes yo…
  • Bhoj,

    The following code should help you get started with creating a custom query
    designer.

  • Jeff,

    Yes this is true. When ReportBulder prints to a device, the only code which
    will be different will be the device class. Try having your customer update
    the printer driver they are using. You can also try downloading the…
  • Hi Bernd,

    Sorry, but we will need a live report example to test the issue you are
    experiencing.

  • Bernd,

    Are you able to recreate this bug in our crosstab demos? If so, please
    create a simple example demonstrating this bug and send it to
    support@digital-metaphors.com. Thanks.

  • Bernd,

    The column widths in a Crosstab are created automatically and cannot be
    adjusted. You will need to register a crosstab renderer replacement. Check
    out the TppCrosstabRenderer class for more information in the ppCTRend.p…
  • Bernd,

    Sorry, but there is currently no way to force an empty column in a Crosstab.
    We will add this to our to-do list for future enhancements of ReportBuilder.
    You might consider using one of the add-on Grid components availabl…
  • Raffaele,

    ReportBuilder does not parameterize it's queries. Check out the example
    below on how to change the search criteria of a query in run-time.

  • Bruno,

    There is no way to know how many times a group will break before the report
    generates. You will need to set the Report.PassSetting to TwoPass so you
    can retrieve the number of group breaks during the first pass before th…
  • Bruno,

    I am a bit unsure what the problem is. You should be able to place a
    TppVariable of type Integer in your summary band and set the value equal to
    ppReport.Groups[i].BreakNo. Is this not working for you? If not, please
  • Gerson,

    In RB 7 you can change the Report.PreviewFormSettings.WindowState to
    wsMaximized in the Object Inspector. This is a new published property for
    RB 7.

    For RB 6, please refer to the article below...

  • Andre,

    TppBorderType is used to create the border of each cell in a crosstab
    component. There are four types: btLeft, btRight, btTop, btBottom. Check
    out the TppMatrix class located in the ppCTCell.pas file for the public
  • Jonathan,

    Unfortunately, the Designer form is the one form in ReportBuilder that is
    not replaceable. You are however able to change the menu options and
    restrict certain toolbar functions. Below is a link to an example on how …
  • Bob,

    You will have to export the .doc file to a .rtf (richtext) file before
    loading the blob field into the report. You can then use a TppRichText
    component to view the data inside the Report.

  • TorB,

    Looking at the Waler web site, http://www.waler.com, it looks as though
    their product QR2RB supports most add-ons for QuickReport or will do so
    soon. Try contacting Waler'…
  • Mike,

    We do not distribute past versions of ReportBuilder for Delphi 5, 6, and 7.
    The "Canvas Does Not Allow Drawing" bug exists in RB 6.03 and was fixed in
    Reportbuilder 7. You will need to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02 to rec…
  • Mike,

    Make sure you are using the latest version of your printer driver. If this
    does not fix the bug, try downloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02
    and see if it corrects the problem.

    We are unable to provid…
  • Niel,

    This was a bug in ReportBuilder 6 and has been fixed for ReportBuilder 7.02.
    Please upgrade to RB 7.02.


    RB 7 includes.....

    - support for Delphi 5, Delphi 6 and Delphi 7.

  • Mark,

    Instead of trying to check if the memo has stretched, you should be able to
    set ShiftRelativeTo property to the overlapping memo and the problem should
    be resolved. You can also use the ShiftWithParent property to shift a…
  • James,

    Yes, loading templates into subreports, or single reports would be the way
    to go on this. This will allow you to keep the reports portable and easily
    editable as well as keeping your application as simple as possible. C…
  • Paul,

    Delphi does not allow two different design time packages to use the same
    resource. The only way you will be able to work around this is to unload
    XtraDev before loading your other package. We encountered this issue while…
  • Raffaele,

    Try setting the Report.CachePages to True and see if that helps. If this
    does not help, I will need a little more information about what the issue
    is, or send a small example to support@digital-metaphors.com demonstra…
  • Steve,

    This could be a memory leak in the printer driver. Try to reproduce the
    problem on your computer using the driver your customers' are using. Also
    try disabling all your event handlers and see if that helps solve the
  • Matt,

    Try updating to the latest printer driver.

    Can this problem be reproduced with our demo reports on your Star printer?
    Does this cause a problem on other printers? We have seen issues similar to
    this one with so…
  • Steve,

    It is possible to change the search criteria automatically at run-time using
    DADE. Below is a link to an example demonstrating how to do this.

  • Philippe,

    Sorry, try using the latest version of ReportBuilder, 7.02, with your
    template and see if that helps. Also, please do not post attachements to
    the newsgroups. If you would like to send an example, please e-mail it to…
