  • Thank you Jim,

    Do you know any -easy- workaround for this ?
    (I suppose you will not create a new report engine for this case …            </div>

  • Hello All:

    I figured out that after ppreport1.printtodevices I can access the text
    component of each report item. That works great.

  • ReportBuilder does not sort. You need to order your data source, in your
    case by using ORDER BY in your query to Interbase.

  • I am sorry that RB demo works fine. It should be my fault.

    But can you give me more hints or clues what I should check in my report
    project (beforeprint or else)? I remember I don't change much on this and it
    is worked ok in the…
  • Jim,

    There is still one problem using A3 reports. The first time I get an empty
    print-preview. Closing the viewer and print again solves it.
    I manage to get around the problem by loading te report twice, by executing
    code T…
  • Jim,

    It has to do with memory-management. My kind of large metafile on A3 needs
    400 MB or more, so on some machines this does not work properly

  • Jim,

    The A3 problem has been solved in RB 6.03 ( a big relief ).

    But now it's clear my printing problem has an extra dimension switching from
    RB 5 -> RB 6:

    I print large Metafiles to a TppImage. RB5 had a ver…

    Sorry, but I meant another: how to insert the button
    with my OnClick event (not component!!!) on stanard report designer toolbar?

    I want to add button with "select font" dialog call.

    Thanks.. it's working fine and seems very logical now.

    I've just read a message from a year ago regarding the lack of support for
    wheel mouse in RB. Any idea when/if it will be implemented ?

    Tried that and received a second page with the sub reports on them.

  • Thanks. I did have a newer version of FlashFiler. I was looking for a file
    name, when I should have looked at the package names.

  • I hope I'm not too off topic here, but how do you create an invisible TForm
    that does not require user action to close it?

    With regard to installing the packages necessary to use ReportBuilder with
    Flash Filer, I began working t…
  • Thank you very much Cheers, but I'm still having some little problems. It
    worked out, but only when there was any column or row was manually
    configured, I mean, not by code. When I have a empty crossbar, nothing
    happens. What must I d…
  • One for FAQ

    In RBuilder 4.x, a report would print just fine if the dataset had called
    DisableControls.

    In RBuilder 6.x, if a dataset does not have controls enabled it give the
    Cannot open dataset error, which is highl…
  • Hm, curiouser and curiouser. I also have this problem with a plain and
    simple ppMemo (I made one to test) whose contents are set at design time and
    not changed. The memo text looks fine in print preview, and everything else
    prints fin…


  • What difference between your machine with english NT and machine with
    english NT in Poland? May be, there no localization on second machine?
  • This does not help me.

    I have set EASTEUROP_CHARSET on every label. I get the polish characters
    on my machine which are an english NT machine. But when I went to poland
    to install the program every character was pure english. …

  • DOH! I fixed my problem for some reason I had the bad patch. After I
    installed the fixed patched it worked like a charm.

  • To give you more information if I open the project and open the data
    dictionary and tables tab and click generate it adds the right tables. Then
    if I go to the fields tab and click generate I get the Invalid Conversion

  • Not sure how to load the image at runtime.
    I have tried the following and get a runtime error:

  • TppRichText has a property DrawRichEdit of type TCustomRichEdit. This
    property is protected, but it's possible to gain access to it by subclassing
    TppRichText. When the AfterGenerate event fires, the DrawRichEdit property
    contains t…
  • I have not seen it myself. But i have been sent seveeral screen dumps
    showing the problem. It seems to be only the report writer preview screen
    and the code i am using is the same as you documented in your reply.

  • It seems to be a solution for no too complicated records. Check it's
    documentation, still doesn't migrate some necesary stuff.
    But the RB wizard can help a lot on the re-made process of your reports and
    trust me, you'll be happy with …
  • Jim,

    Thanks. It turns out that the problem was the result of our having
    inadvertently set the ParentPrinterSetup property to true on all of our
    subreports. Setting this property to false on all but the first subreport

  • Jim,

    We are still looking for a solution to this problem. Do you have other
    suggestions?
