  • Hi Donovan,

    yes, you can create all needed components in code. There is chapter in the 'Developer's Guide' about that.
    Another way would be creating all components first in visual mode and then using the info from the DFM file to set…
  • I figured out that the problem was with the ppMemo field properties. I had
    the Leading property set to zero, so when it stretched to show the second
    line, there was no space between the two lines. By adjusting the Leading
    property, …
  • Thank you for the suggestion. I went in to try what you suggested, however,
    the only thing that has a StretchWithParent property is the shape. I tried
    setting this, but it made no difference.

  • Hi Jim,

    Sorry, I should have mentioned my setup. In the situations I'm reporting I'
    either using Delphi 7 Enterprise or Delphi 6 Enterprise both with Report
    Builder 7.02. However I *am* placing the report component in the

    I'd really like to send you an example, but it involves a lot of work (this
    is a 100 forms project and the database is quite big). If I…
  • Believe it or not I solved the problem by adding a group on the Primary key
    and forcing a new page.
    Now I have a working report. I don't mind if it takes 2-3 more pages at the
    end. I only needs theses images to print.

    That is what I am already doing...


    I am pretty sure that it is the ppiStubEmail component that is causing the
    problem. In the p…
  • It would seem that this can not be your *exact* code as TReportExplorer is
    really named TppReportExplorer. Could you create a demo application and send
    it to support? That way they can isolate it.

    Enjoy.

  • They are exactly the same images that were used previously and they are
    resized to fit. SInce I can't reproduce the problem myself - it is
    related to different printers, and yes they do have the latest drivers, -
    its pretty difficu…
  • Hi Nico!
    Thank You for Your reply and I must admit I am satisfied with what I have
    seen. Still two questions though. Will zoom in design mode be available in

    Yes, easily. You can even easily write your own preview form if you want!

  • Thanks for the suggestions. Here's what I finally decided to do. This

  • Use a JIT pipeline that has as its record count the number of pages and a
    graphic for the chart (or maybe just drop a chart on the report and let it
    update itself--I donno haven't played with paging and how it would work).

  • Jim,

    Thanks for the information. We were able to get that to work pretty well. My only concern is that our users might struggle with entering the date in the correct format. We looked at the example and discovered that Calc tab. We re…
  • Hi Gary,

    For what it's worth, I had a really strange experience recently with a Zebra
    2742 printer and Windows 2000.

    The print test page function in W2K produced garbage leading me to suspect
    that there was a problem …
  • We have been using RB from 4.x version for printing both Traditional Chinese
    and Simplified Chinese reports without problem.

    You can find samples in our web site: http://www.gtcl.com.hk…

  • I solved this as per this post 4/1/2003, but this quick fix does mean any
    code128 comes out as ean128 which was fine for me. Hopefully RB's shift also
    gives them more resources to work on such things?

    I made the following change…

  • Hi Niko !

    Thanks for your reply. I made the changes mentioned, and recompiled rbRcl76.dpk, and will know
    tomorrow if it works ok. I would prefer that you made official support for EAN 128 soon though. It
    will be a maintenance ni…
  • Thanks Jim,

    But that will only work if the preview is modal. In an MDI application what
    happens if the user wants to run two reports at the same time?
    I sent a sample application to support to show what I'm trying to do.

  • I'm having the same problem too.
    I just sent a sample application to support.

    Thanks,

  • Okay, where are you calling .Release from? What event?

  • We call .Release on the form - expecting it to kill the ppReport - it runs
    the full OnDestroy event handler for the form and AV's liek I've said within
    the TppRelv. class

  • When are you calling .Free?

  • Thanks, but I can't figure out how to implement this using a TClientdataset,
    looks like it only supports ADO, BDE etc. Is there something I have
    overlooked, or is this a limitation?
