DBISAM components for fast reports? |
Wed, Jan 5 2011 8:51 PM | Permanent Link |
William Greenley | Is there any way to incorporate fast reports into cbuilder XE with DBISAM? I am migrating an old project in BCB 6 to cbuilder xe. Obviously I need to replace quickreports and fast reports seems like a reasonable replacement that would minimize recoding, but I don't see any way to get it to talk to dbisam tables or queries? Any ideas? Is there a different report writer that would be better, quick reports pro does not currently suport cbuilder xe?
Thanks |

Gregory Sebastian | Hi William,
I have used Fast Reports with Delphi 2007 but I have no experience with Cbuilder. I not exactly sure if it it will be the same in CBuilder but this is the procedure for Delphi anyway if it helps : - Drop an frxDBDataset component to your project. (This will be your pipeline from the DBISam dataset to the FR Report Engine) - Set its "Dataset" property to the DBISam Query or Table - Set the "UserName" property. This is the name of how this dataset will be referred to in the Report Designer. Basically thats it. Run your project, expose the Report Designer (via code) then click the menu option Report | Data in the Designer. You should see the Dataset under its UserName. If you check it, it will now be available for use on the current report. <<that would minimize recoding,>> I'm not really sure about that . Yes there is not much coding involved but I pretty much and to redo each and every report. FR does have a QR -> Fr converter but it didn't help much. I still ended up redoing all reports from scratch. Only the the DBISam queries could be reused and ported to FR in my case. Good luck with it . Regards Gregory Sebastian |
