Re: [lazarus] Report Tools for Lazarus
Currently I'm using a component (http://digilander.libero.it/snapobject/) to load a TDataSet with data from an object (TObject or TCollection), then connect to a TfrxReport and print it the same way you should do with a TQuery or TTable. I don't know if SnapObjectDataSet can be used directly in Lazarus but I'm sure it can be converted to work. Leonardo M.

From the documentation on sf.net: Frequently you may find the need to extract data from other sources, not having a relation to databases (for example, file, array or string grid). This is the purpose of the TfrUserDataset component, it generates the events OnFirst, OnNext, OnCheckEOF to handle navigation in this type of data. You should also create event handlers for the OnGetValue and OnEnterRectangle events of the TfrReport component. -- Warm Regards, Lee _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
[lazarus] Report Tools for Lazarus
Hi all, we are in talks about the possibility to include LazReport as a component included in Lazarus, one of the questions that raised was if there are more Reporting Tools that work with Lazarus even if they can't be included, we would like to know.

RE: [lazarus] Report Tools for Lazarus
It's not a report tool, per se, but you can use FPC's RtfPars unit to create an RTF document, then display it in the user's word processor. Two units that simpify this are included in the XDev Toolkit: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/XDev_Toolkit The advantage to generating the report as RTF is that you have excellent control over the final look of the report since you can use any RTF formatting. Plus it's already in a form that the user can then browser, edit, print or save, without any export step required.
