How To Generate A Report? |
Mon, Aug 27 2012 11:46 PM | Permanent Link |
Frederick Chin | I am going through EWB and have studied the online manual but I can't figure out how to generate a report for printing to the printer.
Specifically, I am looking at how to:- o Layout the format o Save the format to a file o Generate the report for printing to the printer or PDF file o Allow the user to make changes to the layout Any pointers would be appreciated. Frederick |

Raul Team Elevate | This is bit tricky - EWB is javascript so you're running inside the browser (sandbox) environment so accessing files and printers is not allowed. I think best idea for now would be to have the report generated on the server and then serve it up from there 0 i think Tim was planning to do a sample for PDF display so maybe check back in demos area soon.

Frederick Chin | Ouch! I guess it won't be as simple as report writing in Delphi then.

Frederick Chin | Walter,
/* It will be as simple as Delphi - it will not be as simple as working only in a Windows Environment. */ Do you have any sample code I could use? I very much like to use EWB but without reporting, it's a no-go for me. Frederick |

<< Do you have any sample code I could use? I very much like to use EWB but without reporting, it's a no-go for me. >> The main issue is creating the reports on the server-side in HTML or PDF format, and then using a TPage (HTML) or TPlugin (PDF) component to display them in the application. I'll be adding a Print option to the TPage component shortly, while the TPlugin component just surfaces whatever the PDF plugin provides in terms of visual printing options for the user. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
