  • Thanks, Nico, for looking into this. Unfortunately, I don't have much of an
    answer. Basically, I open the MDI.dpr, set EmailSettings.Enabled to True on
    the TppReport object on the mdichild form, then, compile. If I run that
    MDI.…

    [Delphi Directory]\RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser Databases\InterBase\4. IB
    Objects


  • I think that's a 3rd party datapipeline unit.

  • Will get a look at that later today.

    Thank You!


  • thanks

    you should contact the vendor. Also, seeing the code is copyrighted, you may

    not want to be posting it.

  • Hi Nico

    no, I don't receive an error. The application compiles and runs without a
    proble. The report is created and displays in the preview window, from wheer
    it can be printed. However, when you click on the send email button…
  • A quick followup.

    If the TADOConnection is on the form, it connects to the database.

    If the TADOConnection is a public variable, it prompts for the connection
    details (and gets the database name wrong).

    I'm stil…
  • I bring news, of a sort.

    On the remote machine (storing the reports and the database) I opened
    report explorer, opened the report in design mode, and saved the report to
    a file. I took the copy to my local machine where I had fo…
  • I embeded the routine into the click event as follows:


    procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
    lBinaryStream: TMemoryStream;
    lTextStream: TMemoryStream;
    ppReport3: TppReport;
  • I'm unsure whether you mean the name of the actual object (in my sample
    code, that would be "myADOConnection") or the connection details
    ("myCatalogue", "mySystem").

    Fortunately the connection details for the data are the same a…
  • Thank you Nico
    Your advice fixed my problem - I used the BeforePrint event to prevent a
    line from printing. Too easy

    Thanks

  • Hi Nard!


    Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for - should've
    found it by myself... *cough*

    Thank you all for the tips and information!

  • Hi Nico,

    thank you very much for the information.

    That was exactly what was missing to get the components shown in the toolbar.
    But, while the checkbox is nice I need a variant with a cross instead of a
    check, so I'm …

  • Hi Nico,


    The package is installed and checked. When I take a look at the
    TppDesigner Object on my form the "ShowComponents" property has the
    following assigned:

    [scLabel,scMemo,scRichText,scCalc,scImage,scShape,…

  • Hi Paul!


    I'm using the "ReportBuilder Enterprise Edition "Version 10.06", but the
    only data aware controls I see are the following:

    DBText, DBMemo, DBRichText, DBCalc, DBImage, DBBarCode and DB2DBarCode

    Yes, you should see a DBCheckbox component in the report designer along with
    the other data aware controls. There is also a none data aware version.

    Is it possible to use a checkbox in a report?

  • Hi Nico,

    I just tried to create a TBitmap object and access it's Canvas object.
    This seems to be impossible from within RAP because of the following error:

    procedure HeaderBeforeGenerate;
    var
    Bitmap: TBitmap;
    in Draw "freely" Comment by rbuser May 2008
  • Hi Nico!


    Where should I create the TBitmap/TMetaFile? Which event should I use?
    Do I need to save the TBitmap/TMetaFile Object to a file before it can be
    loaded into the report?


    I think that this would be …

  • Hi Nico

    Thanks for the info. That will be fine. I don't actually need to have the
    dialog box, but I can rejig the process to use that info.

  • Hi Terry,

    Thanks for the reply, i'll try and see how far i can go :)

  • H?seyin,


    Assuming that you know the object name, you can use the following code to
    change the field associated with the DBText object at runtime.

    procedure SetDBField(Report : TppReport; ObjName, DataField: String);…
  • I just wanted to follow up for anybody else reading this thread and note
    that upgrading to RB 10.08 was also a requirement to get all of the
    functionality working. With .07, only some of the issues were fixed.

  • Sure, no problem. Thanks Ed :-)

  • > On another note, is there a way to programmatically disable the validation

    you've burried this deep in a thread--you should post starting a new
    thread--and that is a DADE ng :-)

  • Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions.

    I found the problem and it was indeed a problem with the application.
    Essentially, it is iterating through the data views (TdaQueryDataView) to
    retrieve the SQL statement via the TdaS…
  • Thanks, but after making the suggested changes I get the same results. I
    can't event get the OnGetText() event to work with simple string columns
    that otherwise display correctly when added to the designer as a DBText
    field.
  • Doug,


    Try the following:

    if (Invoice_Statements.FieldObjects['CYCLE_START_DATE'].IsNull = True) then
    Text := 'CYCLE_START_DATE = NULL'
    else
    Text := 'CYCLE_START_DATE <> NULL';
