Calculation within the designer / report

rbuser

Dear Mr, Mrs,

I've got a question for you. I deliver a application with a complete
designer, now I want to make a sample report with some calculations.

Specialy the + and - with database fields. In the manual you explain that
this is only possible by doing the calculations in Delphi, but is there a
work-around?

I'am using Delphi 5 and ReportBuilder 6.03 professional.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

You need to purchase ReportBuilder Enterprise.

ReportBuilder Enterprise includes a powerful run-time Pascal coding
environment that we call RAP. RAP adds a Calc tab to the ReportDesigner.
From the Calc workspace developers and end-users can code calculations and
event-handlers without Delphi. The code is saved with the report definition.
The code is compiled and executed by the RAP compiler.

I have downloaded the trial / demo version to check this out, but now after
installing the new version I get the following error while compiling my
project:

[Error] TxtraDev.pas (534): Undeclared identifier: 'ppParentWnd' and the
same for ppGetRTFEngine.

Are there some problems known? I have first uninstalled the reportbuilder
6.03 and then installed the new version 7 Enterprise edition.

Thx and best regards,

If you are simply testing, then just uninstall the Waler TXtraDevices
package from Delphi. You can test RB without it.

If you want to use TXtraDevices with RB 7, then you need to update to the
latest release of TXtraDevices. Contact support@waler.com.
