  • Hello,

    The only registration component installed with the ReportBuilder End-User
    solution is the RBuilder.ini file. Be sure that your client PC has proper
    access to all directories on their hard drive because by default, the re…
  • Hi Martin,

    The Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName list is filled by the names of the
    printers installed on your computer. These names are retrieved from Windows
    and there is no way of controlling what appears here unless you give …

  • Simon,

    The only difference between what you are running in Windows 98 and Windows
    2K is the printer driver. ReportBuilder uses your printer driver directly
    for component placement, alignment, and pagination. You might try
  • Simon,

    Check the bottom offset of your report and be sure it is set to '0'. Also,
    make sure the detail band height is the correct size for the label you are
    trying to print.

  • Edward,

    You should be able to do this by creating an initial report using a certain
    Search Criteria and then simply running another report with the same Search
    Criteria. It is possible to save the search criteria and programati…
  • Hi Steve,

    You may need to copy the actual rich text from the IP component to a TStream
    and then write that stream to the TppRichText.RichText string. This would
    be a way to do the programatically. You can also copy/paste it if…
  • Hi Steve,

    When using InfoPower, you will not see any changes in the RichEdit UI unless
    you create them yourself. You will need to produce the RichText you need
    wiht Full Justification separately using an InfoPower control and t…
  • Hi Steve,

    The article below should help you get on the right track.

  • Green,

    You will need to figure out the height of the memo on the left and use that
    value to calculate the position of the memo on the right. You should be
    able to calculate the memo height in the Report.BeforePrint event by
  • Hi Gilbert,

    You might check the TeeChart help for the correct files to include in your
    project to see certain features. In testing, I was able to use the
    Annotation feature with out any problems. Be sure to include ppChrtUI in…
  • Gilbert,

    ReportBuilder supports everything TeeChart allows you to accomplish using
    the Edit Chart. Check to see that you are including all the TeeChart .dcu
    files in your 'uses' clause to enable these features.

  • Hello,

    Are you setting the TppRegion.Stretch to True? Try getting the Image to
    autosize with out using the TppRegion first, then add the Region into the
    mix. If you are still seeing this behavior, please create a simple exampl…
  • Carlos,

    Here is a small example demonstrating how this can be done using a
    JITPipeline and Label templates. Hope this helps.

  • Hi Pete,

    You need to set the Save property on each of your text controls you want in
    your text file to True. Then adjust the SaveOrder to control the order the
    component will be saved in, in relation to other components within t…
  • Gilbert,

    Sorry about the delay in this response. I believe your best approach would
    be to create an XML device to handle your needs. You would need to create a
    descendent of the TppFileDevice class similar to the TextFile Devi…
  • Hi Gilbert,

    I see... take a look the the TppCustomFileDevice class located in the
    ppFilDev.pas file. You may want to create a custom device that instead of
    writing to a file, writes to a memory or String stream as you described…
  • Gilbert,

    If you just need to store a snapshot of a report on your server, why do you
    need to put it into an XML document? It would be much easier to use the
    Archive Device and then stream the Report Archives to a Blob field on …
  • Gilbert,

    - What is your ultimate goal in saving a report to a String? If you are
    trying to take a snapshot of a report, you may just want to stick with using
    archive files and sending them to the viewer. If not, I attached an …
  • Joseh,

    There is no built in way to create a DBGrid in ReportBuilder. You will
    either have to create a report output manually or with the ReportWizard that
    looks similar to a grid or code your own component to get the results yo…
  • Joseh,

    You may be able to get the results you need by simply using the Report
    Wizard. Follow the link below for a good example of how to create a report
    that looks like a dbGrid.

    You might also want to check out the …
  • Mark,

    Are you able to recreate this issue using on of our demos? Please create a
    simple example that demonstrates the problem and send it to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format and we'll take a look at it for
    you.…
  • Hi Ivan,

    You can create a custom Autosearch dialog to pass any parameters you need to
    the report to use as the search criteria. See the Autosearch demos located
    in the RBuilder\Demos\Autosearch\... directory for more informatio…
  • Maarten,

    Thanks! We'll download it and take a look.

  • Hi Alex,

    You probably need to recompile your TeeChart wrapper packages. Instructions
    on doing so are located in the ReportBuilder Help in the ReportBuilder
    Reference | TeeChart | Delphi 5... section. Then click on the TeeChart…
  • Hi Jon,

    This is a known issue and is on our to-do list for a future release. Thanks
    for the suggestion.

  • Hi Chris,

    Check out Demo 153 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    (dm0153.pas) for an example of spawning a new report when a click event
    occurs. This should get you on the right track.

  • Joachim,

    As long as your DataPipelines are visible and owned by the Form/DataModule,
    your users should be able to see them in the 'Edit Chart' dialog (when they
    right click over a chart component in the designer). Try testing w…
