  • Hi Rodger,

    I'm sorry, I missunderstood the last question. As you could see in the
    example I sent you, a new draw command was created in the NoData event to
    display the given text. The reason for this was that when there is no …
  • Hi Rodger,

    1. The NoData event fires when no data is found by the data pipeline
    connected to a report. If you are using a Master-Detail report, and you
    want an event to fire when there is no data in the Detail dataset, you may…
  • Hi Rodger,

    Here is an example of using the OnNoData event. Hope this helps.

  • Hi Rodger,

    Check out the Report.OnNoData event to find out when the master has no
    details. You can then use this event to set your rich text to display a
    different message.

  • Hi Weverton,

    You can create a group on a static invisible label in the subreport and use
    the group header if you need a headerband in a subreport. You can also use
    a Section or Fixed style subreport to see a header but these ty…
  • Hi Jeff,

    When you set a subreport's visibility to False, the components inside the
    subreport (ie. the draw commands) will not be created and therefore not
    generated.

    However... if you are linking your queries, the det…
  • Hi Johnnie,

    In my testing I was able to print from any other printer I had installed on
    my network regardless the default setting. Which version of ReportBuilder
    are you using? Are you able to recreate this issue using our dem…
  • Hi Patrick,

    Since you are going to print one cash balance per portfolio, I assume the
    data relates in some way. If it does you could set up a standard
    Master-Detail relationship between these two tables allowing ReportBuilder
  • Hi Todd,

    An easy fix would be to place a white rectangle under the DBText so you
    always have that space below the last text line. You could also try placing
    a subreport inside the region and then accessing the dbtext's from the…
  • Hi Natalie,

    There is not built-in way to get the caption text using the TppMatrix
    object. You will need to save the caption names down as you create them and
    then insert them as you regenerate the output to Excel.

    --…
  • Hi Natalie,

    You should not have to use the CrossTab.Matrix.Value property to get the
    text from the CrossTab captions when using the GetCaptionText event. The
    GetCaptionText event does not affect the matrix value. If you alread…
  • Hi Alex,

    The SearchTips examples I sent you seemed to work fine for me. Check out
    the ReplaceFormAndAddSearch example. You will need to do something similar
    to this to get the search features in your custom preview form. Take…
  • Hi Alex,

    Apparently there is no need for me to create an example... there is already
    one available. Check out the following examples.

  • Hi Alex,

    Check out the following example and see if that helps with the Outline.
    I'll work on something for you that shows the search capabilities.

  • Hi Alex,

    The examples I sent before required that you have DADE installed (RB Pro or
    Enterprise). Here are some modified versions that should work with the
    Standard version of ReportBuilder.

  • Hello,

    Here are a couple examples that may help you. By "creating your own preview
    form" I assume you want to create a custom preview form. These examples
    show how to customize the outline and text search features in a the pre…
  • Hi Alex,

    Take a look at Demo 16 in the \RBuilder\Demos\Reports\... directory.
    (dm0016.pas). This demo gives a good example of how a group is supposed to
    work. Also if you go into the groups dialog and set the Start New Page
  • Hi,

    For future reference, we prefer that our customers use their real name when
    posting to a digital-metaphors newsgroup.

    Groups can be created manually or dynamically in code. To manually create a
    group, select the …
  • Hello,

    Try creating a group around the datafield you want to start a new page on.
    Then in the group dialog, be sure to check the "Start New Page" option or
    set the TppGroup.NewPage property to True.

  • Hi Marcus,

    Yes, this is indeed the correct way to get a version of IBX that does not
    come shipped with Delphi to work with ReportBuilder. Please read the
    article below for more details.

  • Hi Rick,

    Where are you getting this jpeg image from? If you are loading from a
    database BLOB field, are you sure this is a valid jpeg image? Is this error
    occuring when you try to load any jpeg image to a report? Try loading …
  • Hi Rick,

    Try adding ppJPEG to your "uses" clause.

  • Hi Paul,

    I spent some time researching this for you but it does not look as though
    there is an easy way to accomplish what you are trying to do. The TppTreeVw
    class descends from a normal Delphi TTreeView which is then in turn …
  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Hi Don,

    Where are you assigning the SQL statement if you are using DADE?

    ReportBuilder supports proper TDataSet Pipeline descendents. You may need
    to trace through the DADE plugin you are using to find the problem or
  • Hi Patrick,

    Sorry, but there is no way to separate out an individual field from a single
    dataset in ReportBuilder. When ReportBuilder accesses a dataset, it
    traverses all the data at the same time one record at a time. I would…
  • Hi Patrick,

    The easiest would be to create a new dataset with the cash value and a
    linking value that corresponds to your original dataset. This way you could
    link the two and create a master-detail relationship so every time …
  • Hi Magnus,

    ReportBuilder does not support using two databases for the end-user
    solution. The rb_folder and rb_item tables hold the folder structure and
    BLOB template fields. These tables have to reside on the database that the…
  • Hi Carlos,

    Trond, is correct. Here is an article that may help.

  • Hi Rhonda,

    Paul is correct, the reason the print dialog option is not changing is that
    the setting in the template that you are loading is probably different than
    the one you are after. As an alternative, I would try simply add…
