Customizing Appearance

rbuser

I'm very new to developing web apps in Delphi. Are there any sources of
information that would help me to customize the appearance of the viewer?

Thanks in advance,

RB Server is very new as well.

It is possible to customize the web viewer, but we do not yet have any
examples. The next maintenance release will include
WebTier.ViewerSettings properties that can be used control which user
interface controls appear on the web viewer's toolbar. Currently you can
control whether the zoom controls appear and whether the outline is
included.

If you want to customize the appearance more than that then you would
have to create some descendant classes. The WebViewer is generated by a
set of WebViewerStyle classes that are replaceable. If you look at the
generated web viewer you will notice that it consists of a frameset and
child frames for the nav toolbar, the page, and the outline. Each of
these frames is generated by a helper class. All consists of
XHTML/javascript that works together.

In general XHTML/JavaScript interfaces are limited in the UI controls
that are available.

What are you wnating to change?

It would be fairly minor costmetic things to make it look seamless with
the rest of our website - background colors, the images used for the
buttons, etc. It sounds like Report Builder will handle this easily.

Thanks Nard,
