  • Thank you for your reply.

    However FCanceReport property or OnCreatePreviewer event do not exist in my
    version - 6.02 Enterprise.

    Is there some other way to cancel report if there is no data? Basically I
    would like to…
  • I don't have Delphi up but try setting a flag in OnNoData (FCancelReport :=
    True) then in the OnCreatePreviewer post a WM_CLOSE message to the
    previewer.

    I was try to use ppVariable1.OnCalc to calculate the balance, the result
    look like ok, but the problem for me is sometime end user may accidently

  • ok, I wasn't resetting the report....works fine now.
  • Further to this,
    Instead of deleting columns, I set the CaptionVisible = false and set all
    necessary Borders = False so I managed to get the output I need, barring the
    fact that I'm getting a whitespace for the column I'm setting the<…

  • You can do this with child style sub reports. Drop them in the detail band
    and set them shift-relative to one another in the order that you want.

  • Well, let's explain this now with a little more time.

    On my report, i am trying to print a list of students. Each student have a
    number. So, It will print something like this

    1 - Carlson
    2 - John
    3 - Smith

  • Hi Ed,


    ...that works, but then the positions get lost and I have to manually adjust
    all comps, which I wanted to avoid - as it was a lot of work already...

    The idea is to use the page style band as a kind of form whi…

    Just drag it from the current band to the page style band.

  • Hi Ed,

    thank you - after some extra shapes to cover lines where I don't want them
    to appear - it is fine.

    Another question:

  • Turn on the page style band (Report/Page Style in the designer editor). Make
    it the size of the page and create the lines.

    Enjoy.

  • I am not a report builder master, but I can give you a light
    1. You can costumize the designer to your app. You can make it the same as
    you have to design your reports. Yes, it's very powerfull

    2. I think the performance is not …
  • Actually, I found that it had created an empty query in the Data tab of the
    report designer(somehow!), therefore the SQL error - works fine after I
    removed it.
    We will be moving to RB 7.03 shortly anyway.

  • Maybe the Band type of your subreports. Did you try changing it? I think you
    can use child reports, or section I can't remember, but I think it's the way

  • Hi,

    well, I now tried the stretch property and it seems that is working on
    the print out. I just don't know exactly how RB handles the stretching
    because its working on the paper (obviously no stretching is needed
    becaus…
  • Hi,

    I am stucked to the problem. I turned autosize off and sized the
    component manually to the size I want it to be on the paper which is in
    pixels 279x62. The image is 689x183, but a resolution of 294.

  • Hi,

    well, I turend autosize off. If I also turn off stretch then the image is
    too big on the screen. And I assume that stretching the image has some bad
    impact on the quality.

    Thanks for your help,

    Matt
  • Hi,

    but I create an image with a resolution more than 96 dpi the dpi doesn't
    affect to the reportbuilder. The image simply gets bigger on the report (as
    long as Autosize is turned on).

    Thanks for the hint with wmf. I'…
  • Hi,

    does the image component automatically size down or do you have to stretch
    the image? Using stretching the quality even gets worse. My idea was to
    generate an image much larger, but with more dpis (eg 300,600). Apparently
  • There is a problem showing images on Report Builder. You can use WMF files,
    I think it's Windows Metafile, instead of using JPEG, or BMP or whatever you
    are using.

  • Hi Nico.

    We are using ReportBuilder 7.03 with Delphi 5 Enterprise Edition.
    I try it with a simple Report, and if the problem continues to exist I tell
    you.
    Today its not posible to try it, but I will try it tomorrow.

  • Maybe I'll spend some time trying to figure out how to do this with SQL
    scripts. The heart of a report is an image field, right, which can be copied
    using SQL without problems AFAIK.

    I'll let you know how that turns out.
  • Hi again Nard !

    It seems I was too quick, the problem seems to have moved...
    I now have a situation where the Masterreport and Subreport are out of sync.
    The SubReport consquently is one record behind, any suggestions ?
  • Thanks Nard !

    The OnCalc event on the Vairiable field in the footer only fires once.....

    QuickReport shipped with Delphi, I end to ge…
  • Thanks for reply, the calculation in my reports are fairly complex.

    Why does the "GroupFooterBand AfterGenerate" fire twice ?
    Is there no way to calculate a total that only fires once for each group ?

    Thanks
