makina · Post by **makina** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 4:03 am

Hello, is there an executable sample of the scalerichview working with reportworkshop??

im planning to buy any of the below options but I would like to see wich one is better for what im looking for,.
unfortunatelly I don't see a compiled version using the ScaleRichView, or maybe it is there,

TRichView + ScaleRichView + ReportWorkshop
TRichView + ReportWorkshop

something else, is it possible to set a default language (i need spanish) in the licenced version of report worshop? in the demo version I dont see a way to do that.

also is it possible to use unidac (devart) components ?

thank you.

Hello,

There is a demo of using ScaleRichView together with Report Workshop.
It is in <TRichView Dir>\ReportWorkshop\Demos\FireDAC\ScaleRichViewReportEditor\
This demo is a ScaleRichView analog of TRichViewEdit-based demo (<TRichView Dir>\ReportWorkshop\Demos\FireDAC\ReportEditor\).
Sample reports for this demo are in <TRichView Dir>\ReportWorkshop\Demos\ReportsScaleRichView\InterBase\dbdemos (and others in <TRichView Dir>\ReportWorkshop\Demos\ReportsScaleRichView\, but you need to switch to the corresponding database (tab "Data", button "Change Database").

Yes, Spanish UI is supported. To make it default, you need to assign 'Spanish' to RVAControlPanel1.Language at designtime.

Yes, UniDAC is supported. Unfortunately, we do not have demo projects with UniDAC, but it's simple, you need to link TRVReportGenerator component with TRVReportUniDataProvider component.

If you will try to change one of our ReportEditor demos to UniDAC... All database-specific code is placed in a datamodule. For example, for FireDAC demos, it is in ReportDataFD.pas. You need to create a similar datamodule for UniDAC. If you have problems doing it, I'll try to help.

What version of Delphi do you use?
ColorDepth property was added in TImageList in Delphi 2009, and this is a minimal required version of Delphi for our FireDAC report editor demo, because it uses 32-bit toolbar images (they are supported only in Delphi 2009 and later).

There are two FireDAC report editor demo, in Demos\FireDAC\ReportEditor (it uses TRichViewEdit) and Demos\FireDAC\ScaleRichViewReportEditor\ (it uses ScaleRichView).

Actually, all our TRichViewEdit-based report editor demos are almost identical, the difference is only in datamodules.
If you want to make FireDAC demo for older versions of Delphi, you can take the demo in IBX\ReportEditor\DelphiOld\, remove ReportDataIBX from the project and from "uses" of the main form, and add FireDAC\ReportEditor\ReportDataFD.pas instead.
In FireDAC\ReportEditor\ReportDataFD.pas, change all '..\..\' paths to '..\..\..\'

If Report can be design using a simple drag and drop.. only textbox WITH EXPRESSION, caption and line or box. it will be VERY HELPFUL.

Report templates are created in a rich text editor, so you can use editing operations to insert fields, including drag&drop.

In our ReportEditor demo projects, fields can be inserted by clicking in the field list (located at the left side of the main form window). But this is only a demo project, you can implement your own user interface.
