  • Hi Marc,

    Check out the TppVariable.ResetType page in the ReportBuilder help
    (RBuilder.hlp) file.

  • Hi Marc,

    Sorry, I failed to mention that it is also possible to dock to the right
    side of the Report Designer as well if you prefer.

  • Hi Marc,

    Thanks for the suggestions. It is possible to dock the report tree and data
    tree to the left side of the designer. Simply drag the box over to the left
    until the border changes width, then let go.

  • Hi Arturo,

    Be sure that your margins are set within the printable area of the printer
    you are using. Be sure you are using the latest printer driver. Are you
    able to see the title band in our demo applications? Please send a …
  • Rodger,

    It is definitely the parameters that are slowing your performance. You will
    need to create one large detail dataset to handle everything and order it
    the way you need to aviod the use of parameters multiple times throug…

  • Rodger,

    Now that you are using a database server, be sure you are not using Delphi
    Parameters to link your datasets. Try using datapipeline linking instead.
    You can also try turning off the Report Outline and setting
    Repor…

  • Hi Bill,

    Sorry, it is not possible to print a DBMemo field to a text file in
    ReportBuilder. You will need to use DBText fields instead with the "wrap
    text" property set to true.

  • Hi Bill,

    You need to set the 'Save' property for each text component in your report
    for it to show up in your text file. The easiest way to do this is to use
    the "Print to File Setup" dialog. Access this in the File menu of th…

  • Hi Bill,

    I tried registering GraphicEx with ReportBuilder and was unable to recreate
    the error. Please send an example demonstrating the problem to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a closer look.

  • Hi Chris,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? I was able to create a simple
    example using ReportBuilder 7.02 and the TppVariable wordwrapping seems to
    work correctly. Below is a link to the example I created. You ma…
  • Hi Chris,

    1. When inserting a line break you need to add the 'line feed' operator as
    well (ie. #13#10).

    2. Which event are you using to write this text? Be sure that you are
    using the TppVariable OnCalc event and …
  • Louis,

    To do this you will need to replace and re-register every dialog in the
    Query Designer and re-code them to have a vertical separator rather than a
    horizontal one. This is possible as all dialogs in ReportBuilder are
  • Adry,

    Please contact the third party vendor that creates your PDF export software
    for more information about transparency support for PDF.

  • Arturo,

    Be sure to use the TppVariable.OnCalc event to make any calculations or
    changes to a variable. See the article below for more information.

  • Hi Bill,

    ReportBuilder supports image libraries that descend from TImage such as
    GraphicEx. After searching the Internet, I was unable to find anything for
    Group 4 compression of Tiff files that descends from TImage. You might…
  • Hi Bill,

    Are you able to see the TIF file using the demo browser that comes with the
    GraphicEx package?

    What is the AV you are receiving? The second time I installed GraphicEx on
    my computer, I was able to get an AV …
  • Chris,

    You will need to include the .dll language files with your application
    release. Then you will need to add some code to allow your users choose
    which language they would like to use when they run your app. Please see
  • Hi Weverton,

    Try placing your detail components inside a TppRegion component and set the
    Region.KeepTogether property to true. It is also possible to turn the
    border of the region off by setting the Region.Pen.Style property.
  • Hi Kloo,

    I would try using a conditional statement to find out what the group value
    in the DetailBand.BeforePrint event. Then you could set the GroupHeader and
    GroupFooter bands' visibility to false and temporarily disconnect t…
  • Hi Kloo,

    You can not change the pagination of a report in the second pass. Once the
    second pass begins, all pagination has been measured and allocated. I would
    suggest preprocessing the data you send to the report so that you …
  • Hello,

    Try using the GroupHeaderBeforePrint event to set the visibility of the
    Group Header and Footer. The reason they are staying visible is that they
    have already been generated and printed when the DetailBandBeforePrint eve…
  • Hi Leon,

    Thanks for the better explanation. I wasn't sure if it was possible to do
    what you described but I tried it and it seems that it will be. I created a
    small example application that first generates a .raf file by click…
  • Hi Leon,

    I am unclear about your data access. What type of database are you using?
    What are the properties of each of your objects that you plan to use with
    ReportBuilder. Do these objects act as controls that can be placed on…
  • Hi Zoran,

    Did you remember to delete the existing templates from the report components
    on your form? Do this by entering the Report Designer and choosing File |
    New Report from the menu. This will clear out the existing templa…
  • Janusz,

    Sorry but there is no KeepTogether property for the CrossTab component in
    ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Mike,

    Check out the following example for a way to solve the problem of too many
    columns to fit on one sheet of paper. Essentially this example places each
    set of columns in a subreport and then collates the pages manually.<…
  • Alex,

    Sorry, this is not a feature of ReportBuilder and I do not believe there are
    any third party tools that export to XML.

    If you need to export to XML so you can transfer reports over a server, you
    might want to ch…
  • Hi Massimo,

    Here is another example using a DBPipeline rather than a JITPipeline. You
    just need to adjust the DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property to see more than
    one copy of a label. Hope this helps.
