  • Hi Rodger,

    The reason you are probably have trouble scanning/editing your RichText is
    that you are using a TppDBRichText component. The DBRichText component is
    accessed and refreshed from the database numerous times during Repo…
  • Hi Sanjay,

    Try using the OnDrawCommandClick event of a RB component to enable the
    clicking of an report object. Then inside the event, you could perhaps use
    Indy to connect to the Internet and load a web page to a browser.
  • Hi Joe,

    Try testing with a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02 for Delphi 5. Be
    sure to backup any templates you load before converting them to the RB 7
    format. If this does not help, please send an example demostrating the
  • Hi Ariel,

    Tabs should only be used in TppMemo and TppRichText components. Tab
    characters can be entered into a TppMemo manually in the Report Designer
    only by right clicking over the Memo object and selecting the "Lines"

  • Hi Laercio,

    Yes there many methods and properties you can use to create and populate a
    DataDictionary at run time. Please see the ReportBuilder Help on
    TppDataDictionary for a list of all methods available. Below is a small

    Are you still receiving an error after you add daDataModule to your uses
    clause? Try loading the template into a report object at design time and
    clicking through the Data and Calc tabs to be sure that ReportBuilder a…
  • Hi Jaime,

    Hmmm. these should be added automatically if you clicked on the Data or Code
    tabs in the Report Designer. Was this template created with any DADE or RAP
    code? Try adding daDataModule to your "uses" clause.

  • Try adding raCodMod to your uses clause.

  • Hi Zoran,

    Below is an example that may get you on the right track. This demo
    calculates the space needed to fit all report components on one page. If
    there is any overflow, the font of each object is then reduced by one. You<…
  • Hi Vinnie,

    An Autosearch field is converted to a give data type in the
    TppAutoSearchField.FormatValue function located in the ppASField.pas file.
    You could change this source as well to save down the string entered by the
    u…
  • Vinnie,

    By changing the ValidateValue routine, you will only be affecting the
    Warning Message.

  • Hi Vinnie,

    You will need to change the ReportBuilder source to do this. Since you are
    using this feature at run-time, you should be able to get away with changing
    the source without having to rebuild all the ReportBuilder packa…
  • Hi Marc,

    DADE and RAP are features of ReportBuilder that are included with the
    Professional (DADE) and Enterprise (DADE and RAP) editions. If you would
    like your users to be completely independent, I would suggest you download …
  • Marc,

    The ppVariable component can be accessed from the Standard Toolbar in the
    Report Designer. Make sure that this toolbar is visible by right clicking
    anywhere on the top panel and selecting the Standard Toobar option.

  • Hi Cameron,

    You are seeing this message because the archives were created with the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName := 'Screen'. ReportBuilder is letting you
    know that when printing to screen, you will not be able to print to th…

  • Hi Alex,

    In the example I sent you adding an outline to a TppViewer, add the
    following line of code to the bottom of the TForm1.CreateOutline event...

    FOutlineViewer.PopupMenu := nil;

    This will disable the popup…
  • Hi Alex,

    Although it should have been, the PopupMenu for the OutlineViewer was not
    coded so that it could be customized easily. The only way to customize it
    right now would be to change some of the ReportBuilder source. I real…
  • Hi Oleg,

    When is the DataPipeline field changing? In my testing the DataPipeline
    field is remaining set when I execute a report. I recommend you use the
    Traversal setting rather than the DataPipeline Traversal setting so the

    You can access the column options directly from the designer by selecting
    the File | Page Setup menu option, then clicking over to the Layout tab.

  • Hi Klaus,

    You are given one ColumnHeaderBand and one ColumnFooterBand when creating
    columns. If you need another band for a column, you will need to create a
    group and use the group header or footer.

  • Hi Astner,

    You can do this by creating your report with columns and setting your
    Report.DetailBand.ColumnTraversal := ctLeftToRight. This is a published
    property so it can be set in the Object Inspector. This will cause each

    other TeeChart Versions installed or loaded in Delphi.

    I am having a bit of a hard time understanding what is happening. Would it
    be possible for you to create a small Delphi example demonstrating the

  • Hi Weverton,

    Are you able to print your richtext to a Delphi TRichEd and get a correct
    display? The TppRichText component relies on the TRichEd component to read
    RTF data. Below are a couple articles that may help.
