  • I've discovered that I must manually size the tppimage in order to get it to fit
    on the page. Near as I can tell, there is no way to stop a stretchable band
    from stretching to larger than page depth.

  • Thanks Alexander, but isn't there a better way to do it.

    I'm using a TQuery, I've been trying to set the option for "currency = True"
    to display the values as currency. This works really well for data grids
    etc.... However this …
  • Thank you for clarifying this and thanks for your time.

  • Alexander,

    thanks for your answer.

    Could you please tell me what kind of alignment issue you addressed by
    adding the left margin?
    It would be useful to know before I recompile the source without the
    extra left m…

  • Hi Bill,

    when I use pictures, I'll get problems in a Win9x box with larger reports.
    But I never had problems in displaying large reports with NT or W2K, even
    with pictures.
    I would do a simple test with a 1K page report.
  • Either on the before print of the band where the label is located or the
    BeforePrint event of the report you can set the label caption property. For
    example:

    procedure TForm1.ppGroupHeaderBand2BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);

    looks like you have a corrupt installation. (rbIBE66.bpl is needed)

  • here's more tech info:
    I have some docs, and told me to use the WIndows Printer Escape Function. Using the
    Windows API | ExtEscape, I don't know how to call these from Delphi. Is there anyone

  • I love aour support!

    I have done this and it works very fine. With Chart.Printresolution = -200 I
    get a fine circle.
    Doing the same in RB i get a circle like Microsoft Chart 15 Years ago.

  • No need for answer! Thank you!

    If you JUST want a memo ONLY to print on next page, set

    stretch = true

    If you want the header repeat AND the memo to print on more pages,
    then Put memo you want to flow on …

  • But this is exactly the problem.
    I set the TppSubReport to two passes and when previewing the report the
    object inspector show the passSetting property going to One (generate
    the report) and back to two (once its done). Why?
  • Hi Alexander,

    Thanks for you assistance.

    Is there any way of doing this inside the report?

  • Alexander,

    thank you for the quick replay.
    You are right, there is no Report component to which they are linked.
    So I will reassign them at runtime.

  • The Report is being loaded from a template (rtm) and adding ppLabel?s and
    ppDBText.
    The property is ppLabel.Font.Style = fsBold. Whichever Property from FONT

    The problem only seems to occur when the richtext is set to fs18 (9 points).

  • Hi Chau,

    please use NG 'borland.public.delphi.thirdparty-tools' for those kind of
    questions.
    If you have any questions regarding ReportBuilder, you are welcome.

  • ok the passsetting should do this.
    i set it in a the particular report and its not working. however i tried it
    in a new one and it works so im guessing something is goofy with the bad

  • John,

    Does that mean, that you check the values in the 'OnCalc' event of 'Var1'?
    The critical value is 'SUMDB2' resp. 'gVar'. If 'gVar' holds the right
    value, I can't imagine why 'Var1' doesn't display the expected value.

  • John,

    I guess the value passed isn't uptodate.
    Can you tell us what you want to achieve?
    How and where do you summing?
    What is your report layout (subreports)?
