Connecting at runtime

rbuser

Hi,

I would like to create a report file in the designer and then connect the
data from my application at runtime.
I'm creating the datasets for reporting at runtime and therefore I can't use
the designer to connect to the fields.
How can I get to the DBText components at runtime?

I'm using Report Builder standard v.9.01 with Delphi 2005.

Hi Valdimar,

Are you loading the report from a template file? If so, you will have to
use template events to loop though the report components and connect all the
data components from there.

If you are not loading from templates, you can simply use the component name
to connect to the correct datapipeline and field.

DBText.DataPipeline := MyPipeline;
DBText.DataField := 'MyField';

Thank you,

I didn't notice the components being added to my code

It comes back to my reluctance to read PDF documents.
