  • Has there been any updates to this situation?

  • Bruce Roberts, creator of RBAddon, responded to my request for a product
    update thus:

    *******************************
    Sorry to take so long getting back to you. At the present time I am unable
    to undertake the task of updat…
  • you could probably work through it but it would be nice if one person could
    do it for everyone :-)... you might want to interact with the author about
    that. Can it be open sourced?

  • First I got the error:
    [Fatal Error] RBAddOnControls.pas(40): File not found: 'ppDsgnCt.dcu'

    I changed reference to ppDesignControls. Then I get the following errors:
    [Error] RBAddOnControls.pas(94): Undeclared identifier: 'tppP…
  • I won't be able to answer this until Monday... at my work I have a computer
    I run tests on. Once I saw RBAddon wouldn't compile I gave up. I'll provide
    better feedback Monday. Thanks.

  • > RBAddon has references to RB components that no longer exist in 9.03.

    which components?

  • Thanks for the "heads up" on this issue. I only have one small app
    using the rbAddon but I had hoped that it would be a trivial
    switch

  • RBAddon has references to RB components that no longer exist in 9.03. It
    might be a fairly simple matter to correct names but I was hoping someone
    else had already tackled the issue. I cannot afford to spend the time to
    bring RBAddon …
  • Keith,

    I could be in a similar situation. What is it that prevents
    a recompile of the rbAddOn? I would have thought that it would
    have needed only minor mods to work but I don't have the
    latest RB to check it out.
  • I have try and it seems that the syntax is
    ppReport1.NoDataBehaviors := [ndBlankReport];
    (need a bracket around ndBlankReport)

  • Hi Nico,
    Thank you for the reply, but the problem is that when the user changes the
    printer name in the printer settings after the ppreport.print method, and
    print to file, when it comes back it no longer has the property set to the…

    don't be afraid of them--they are pretty slick once you start.

  • Many thanks Nico

    Yes, using RAP and will post there in future.

    Still a newbie and the pass-thru functions look a bit over my head at the
    moment!

    Will try the Copy Routine, looks like it could do what I need.
  • Nico,
    Why do you question version 2006? Aren't you supporting it?

  • That's very simple. Just add the 'Pagestyle' band to your report and put
    your watermark on it. The pagestyle band is printed behind the hole report.

  • >I made an app in delphi using report builder as the reporter tool. Now i
    print

    Sorry pressed the send massage and didn?t finish.
    Can this task be done with report builder?
    Thanks in advanced

  • Usually it's just a matter of attaching it to a boolean field in the
    database record. It should then reflect the contents of that field.

    You can, of course, change the format of the display.

  • Bit MOre investigation , it looks like putting an offset into the Y eg Top
    moves it back onto the page, i think its because the text is Centred and
    does the position calc for the middle before rotating it? could this be the
    problem…
  • Hi Nick,

    I had the same idea, but its all falling apart in the beforeGenerate event,
    where if have a few labels i wanted to say turn off then use one label to
    fill the space of the others by making it a larger font say. but it…
  • Hi Nico,
    I tried that it does help a little, but still falls apart when i move the
    origin from 0,0 to 50,50 then increase the font, moving it back to 0,0 does
    not return it it to its original position, as though some vairiable is st…
  • Mark,

    Yes, the post was most certainly in a DM ng.

  • Thanks Bob,

    I tried searching prior to posting but there was a lot of crap to filter
    through - do you know if the post was within the Digital-Metaphors ng realm?

  • Mark,

    Search through the newsgroups because there was a post a few months back
    from someone who had just gone through converting a significant number of CR
    reports to RB. If I remember correctly, he did mention creating a uti…
  • Hi

    www.waler.com once had one. I can't see it anymore, but it is mentioned here
    http://www.consist.it/rbuilder.htm.

    You can try to write him.

    Best…
  • What is going to happen with to us users who upgraded to ver 9 for use with
    D2005, D2005 is almost unusable and have now gotten D2006, will there be an
    update for 9.03 for 2006?

    Or will we have to "upgrade" to ver 10??????????…
  • Steve,

    If you go the server route you can publish to the web which puts the output
    in a browser window and that can be copied from. The following is the DM
    example of such a set up:

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I do have TExtraDevices. I did mention that reports could be exported to
    various formats and then manipulated from there. But my MD was insistant
    that users should be able to copy and …
