Make sure you update the FPC repository, some changes to the base classes 
were needed.


Thanks for reporting the bugs !


Any chance of having the following bug fixed today so that i can continue 
debugging fpReport?


#3306  FPReport IDE designer: 
Data property doesn't list any Data entries, even though they are listed in 
the right window


I will try.

It's not easy because its something that happens in the IDE. 
So I must be able to reconstruct it outside the IDE.

These are the right steps. The data is set.

I still can't set the Data and ChildBand properties. I updated fpc trunk and 
lazarus and am testing using the standalone designer.


I will check again tomorrow.

Thanks for the fixing the bugs!

I guess I will keep you busy more when I test the integrated designer, 
since as far as i can see, the standalone designer allows static reports 
only. More on that later on.

Another goal is, if you install lazideintfreport, the lazarus won't 
start without a message, if you switch logging on, you find the reason: 
freetype-56.dll is missing. The problem is, you have NO indication, no 
messagebos, nothing, why Lazarus wont start and exit immedatly.

I will use the standalone designer (with FPC trunk) for the time being.

For step 4, add the page right after firing the designer (don't create 
a new report). Refer to bug report #33234.


I will proceed with creating bug reports. However, the bug tracker 
lacks an fpreport category. I am currently filing the bugs under 
packages.

Hi,

1. Agreed about the use of trunk FPC/lazarus.

2. In the standalone designer, I can reproduce the bug in step 8, but not the 
one in step 4.

3. In view of point 2, please report bugs.

Hi,

I am able to create fpreports by code.

still in alpha stage? I'll create bug reports if it's the latter case.


Hm. I don't know your installation of course, so it is hard to 
comment on that.


But you should definitely be able to make reports. I know I do. But 
then, I made it, so I will probably avoid doing things that confuse 
the designer...


If you do experience bugs, please report them, I will do my best to 
fix them ASAP.


I use FPC 3.0.5 with fpreport from trunk along with lazarus trunk.

Just to test the waters:

1- Create a new application
2- Place a TFPReport on the form
3- Double click the FPReport component to open the designer
4- Add a page by clicking the add page toolbutton
-> Bug1: The page properties are not displayed in the designer's 
object inspector

5- Add a databand and enlarge it
6- Click on memo toolbutton
7- Click on the databand without dragging. The memo will be created 
with 0 size.

8- Resize the memo with the mouse
-> Bug2: The designer freezes and cannot be closed anymore

If you can confirm these 2 bugs, i'll start creating bug reports in 
the tracker.
