  • Your sample works fine here. My report is setup the same except for
    cosmetics. I'm going to audit all of the component properties to locate a
    difference if I can. The only one that is apparent is that your report is on
    a TForm and min…
  • Did that. Order By is correct for the sub-report's detail table. As I wrote
    in my first post, I have followed the Tech Tip closely. I either get
    multiple headers for each detail item, or just one detail item.

    Here's my detail qu…
  • Setting the sub-report's group to key on the detail primary key did show all
    items instead of just one. But, it also printed a group header for each
    detail item -- not what I want. Grouping on the detail primary key would,
    logically, …
  • Steve,

    you have a group in the sub report on the foreign key
    so there is only 1 group for each master?, set the grouping on the primkey
    of the detail data set
    furthermore you could look at your pipeline to see if it is not …
  • Matha,
    there is an event that is being called when the previewform is created
    you could look in the code to get the name of the button and once the form
    is created you could disable the button in question
    or
    write your own p…
  • Hi Nico,

    Fixed it using regions instead of subreports. What i was trying to do was
    using subreports as a collection component with its own header and detail
    bands and print the appropriate 1 at runtime by toggle of their visible…
  • Nico please could u take a look, i'm sure there's nothing wrong with my
    report. If RB isn't designed to do what i want here please let me know, on
    the other hand if it is well then its making a mess...

  • Hi,

    I traced some further in 'TppBandEngine.ProcessQueue' 4 the ongenerate of
    the detailband of the mainreport

  • Thanks Nico,

    I guessed I missed the part about 7.01 being a beta. I have downloaded
    ver 7.0 and re-installed. All is working now.

  • Thanks Nico,

    I tried you suggestion, and still have AV when attempting to drop a
    chart into a report. I have also tried on a clean machine (no older
    TeeChart or RB files) with a fresh installation of D7, TeeChart & RB.
  • Hi Nico,

    Thank you for the answer.

    Do you know a tool to convert PDF files to RTF without loosing the page
    layout and look of a PDF page?
    I tried to find one but all of them seem to change the positions of text or

    Turns out that at design time the ppReport component did have the the
    SaveAsTemplate set to False, but at run time when the designer form was
    closed, the following code fire and aReport.SaveAsTemplate was marked to

    look at the ppReport property ShowPrintDialog and set it to false (object
    inspector)

  • Hi Nico,
    Yes, that fixed the problem, thx. So in other words A fixed style subreport

  • Thanks again Marc

  • hmmm
    no, i only used the pagestyle to mimic an existing form with lots of lines
    etc
    you can wait till Nico kicks in or re-raise this question as a new issue

  • Marc,

    I have got the pagestyle working with one problem. I have set the color of
    the label text to be grey and it looks great when the report is previewed.
    However, it prints out in black which is a definite problem as it overwr…

  • You can refer to "Developer's Guide" page 293,
    Chapter "Using the JITPipeline to Print from a StringGrid".
    it should help you.


  • james,
    why not use a TppMemo for this
    it can stretch as long as needed

  • Hi Nico,

    thanks for your answer but what I am going to achieve is probably not
    possible or send me the following example.

    Two reports should combine as follows.

    All reports have header, detail and footerband.

  • > Heiko,

    I think the question which type of pipeline to use is not my biggest
    problem.
    But I was thinking about using JIT pipelines, too. On the other hand I have
    already my own
    dataset descendents, which I could us…
  • Heiko,
    if you don't want to print from data directly i suggest you use the JIT
    pipelines
    with those you can keep you objects and still print what you want
    works perfectly

  • Hi Nico.

    Thank you for your help.
    I will try it with this Component.

  • Hello Nico.

    Thank you for your answer. I've tried to print in Landscape mode, but it's
    not the thing I want.
    The text of the Report must be rotated by 90?. At Landscape mode it's not
    rotated.

  • Hi Alex,

    Just a possibility you may want to investigate...

    If you can convert your PDF to WMF, you can use eDocEngine to convert the WMF to
    RTF (WYSIWYG) to render on your report. I'm not sure though if the generated

    if your PDF is a fill-in form or a grid-like report, try Grid Pack for
