Save to XLS - Custom componets GetTheText value isn't used

rbuser

Hey Guys,

Since upgrading to V12 a custom component we have no longer shows the
correct value when we print to file (previewing the report works fine).

Stepping through the GetTheText Function we return the correct value but
when I view the XLS it's incorrect.

We're using Delphi 2007 and 12.05 of RB

Any ideas?

The XLS export uses the DrawCommand.DataType and DrawCommand.Value
properties. The RB components implement special logic to handle the
OnGetText case. Open ppCtrls.pas and search for OnGetTextUsed. This is an
internal boolean which is set in TppCustomText.GetText and used in
TppDBText, TppVariable, and TppSystemVariable method implementations for
PropertiesToDrawCommand.

In my testing this works correctly for the RB components.

Thanks Nard. I'll have a look into this and see if I can work out the issue.

Changing our code to overwrite the OnGetText event rather than GetTheText
fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help.
