I've been banging my head against the wall trying to create a report programmatically. Unfortunately, aside from one blog post, https://www.fast-report.com/blogs/cr...-report-vb-net, there is absolutely no documentation or example out there for VB.net developers to refer to! The post includes an example, but it does not work because it ends with report.Show(). It produces an error that says .Show() is not a member. I subsequently found another, undocumented example that looks like it was transcribed from C# that ends with ends with report.Prepare(). While it works better that the one from the blog post, it fails with "FastReport.Utils.CompilerException: '(0,0): Error CS0006: Metadata file 'Microsoft.CSharp' could not be found'".

At this point I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing. I installed the following FROS modules via NuGet (all 2026.2.0): FastReport.Compat, FastReport.OpenSource, and FastReport.Data.Sqlite. I've created a .FRX file and an .XML file to try generating the report, in addition to the hardcode. NOTHING WORKS!!!!

Sadly, there is no other report generation tool out there (that I'm aware of), which will allow me to do this without bankrupting me! Is there anyone reading these forums who can help me out please?

What i have is this:

I also miss the list of available options for all the Parameters. mbYes, mbNo etc. i found by googling, but the sources i found actually refer to a different implementation of the function (Delphi11), which accepts button-renames as an additional parameter: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75231411/messagedlg-with-custom-button-text

Which delphi-version should i google for to find correct answers? Or, is there a reference manual specifically for FastReport's implementation of PascalScript?

I tried a few things to create my own button, the following is the closest i got, it runs but throws a runtime error, something like "Illegal Variant Operation"...

   MyBtn: TMsgDlgButtons;  MyBtn := ['test', 123];                                           

Some settings like changing the Standard mail Client from the Windows Settings were changed.

We already made the registry keys for MAPI:[HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem]"MAPI"="1" "MAPIX"="1" "MAPIXVER"="1.0.0.1"  

But opening the Outlook Mail Client with an external programs like "Snipping Tool" works fine, it opens the Outlook client with the Attachment picture just fine.

Any Idea to fix this issue?

I am very new to Fast Reports, sorry if the is a simple or dumb question, we are converting some older Crystal Reports over to Fast Repots, and the Fast Reports builder is embedded with the software we are using (DMS). We have some formulas / expressions we are trying to convert over. We are having issue getting them to filter the data we want.

Below is the formula we pulled from the crystal report, to exclude some workcenters from the report.

This is the Dataset we need to pull from - [Job Updating Transactions."PoolsName"]

Below is the results we want to filter / remove.

Job Updating Transactions."Ident"] <> "1000" and [Job Updating Transactions."ReportResourceName"] <> "COMPLETEWO" and [Job Updating Transactions."EmployeeName"] <>"*BREAK"

Questions is, where do we put this query / expressions at? and how to we call it to the report? can this be configured in the memo box?

Thanks.

Specifications such as color, size and type of text prominence

How do I do this? Please with Pascal script explain to me

In the OnBeforePrint event

Read all specifications with a separator Example
Size|Color|Bold|
14px|Green|Yes |

I did this but I created a field for each attribute in the database which is not the correct way

I was able to use bold, italic, etc. but i think it is not possible to change font-size within a Memo, right?

I think the answer is no, right?

I also tried to use a rich-text instead of a memo, but here, the text does not wrap onto the next line.

So, is there an alternative way to get what i want?

I searched for a way to use six separate memo's, one for each field, where the position of the memos would each be determined by the end of the previous one. But i did not find anything to achieve that either.

Any ideas?

we are generating pdfs which have user's photo in it (Picture object). Sometimes this photo (jpg image) is rotated - technically the EXIF metadata has Orientation = "Rotate 90 CW" for example.

Preview of the photo in browser is shown correctly - browser auto-rotates the image. But in generated pdf is not auto-rotated, so it shows "wrongly" rotated photo.

Is it possible to add function to enable Auto-rotation for Picture object?

Thank you,

On Page1 I have Child1 and PageFooter which I don't wanna to show on Page2.

How to hide Child1 and PageFooter from Page1 on Page2?

Here is the internal code I'm using in the report:

procedure Picture1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);

begin

 if (<frxDBPictures."Picture1"> = '') and (not <PicPrinted>) then begin

  txtNoPictures.Visible := True;

  PicHeader.Height := fr1in * 0.20;

  Picture1.Visible := False;

  Picture1.Height := fr1in * 0.20;

  Picture1.Width := Picture1.Height;

  PicData.Height := fr1in * 0.20;

 end

 else begin

  txtNoPictures.Visible := False;

  PicHeader.Height := fr1in * 0.25;

  Picture1.Height := fr1in * <PicHeight>;

  Picture1.Width := fr1in * <PicWidth>;

  Picture1.Visible := True;

  PicData.Height := fr1in * <PicHeight>;

  PicData.ColumnWidth := Picture1.Width;

 end;

end;

Code in the program itself sets the values of PicHeight and PicWidth based on the particular image, but limited to 3.5 inches wide.

What do I need to do to get the image to print on the next page if it does not fit on the current page?

Hi,

Any ideas where I can get better infomation to making reports with line charts with SQL query.

All I achive is flatline or assend and I can not seem to get a count with grouping.

when I try to install FR FMX 2.8.12 under my Delphi Ent. 11 I get the following error:

Required package 'FMXTee928' not found FMXfsTee28.dpk not compiled!

The FMXfsTee28.bpl file is in the specified folder...

How should I proceed?

Thank you, Davide

ist es möglich eine benutzerdefinierte Variable mit dem Ergebnis eines Selects zu füllen und in einem Report auszugeben.

Ich möchte z.B. eine Artikelliste ausgeben. In der Kopfzeile soll das Datum des zuletzt hinzugefügten Artikels ausgegeben werden.

Also z.B. VARIABLE = (SELECT MAX(Datum) FROM Artikel)

Da ich in dem für den Report zugrundeliegenden SELECT kein GROUP BY verwenden kann, denke ich, dass ich nur mit einer Variablen, wie oben beschrieben, weiterkomme. 

Kann mir jemand helfen? 🤔

 Danke schon mal 🤗

After a lot of reading I have not satisfied my thoughts.

How can I make my page 2 report get results from page 1 data?

I can not edit the layout all on one page as the databands push my report summary off the bottom.

Tried a page two for the layout seeing my ref to the data was not made leaving my results empty.

So I finished my layout first on page 2 to cut and paste my band back to page 1.

I guess there is a way apart from the way I done it.

Would it be possible to leave a default option on the attached configuration screen? Embedded fonts option.

procedure MasterData2OnBeforePrint (Sender: TfrxComponent);

Example from the official manual.

Everything works correctly before a new page is generated, when the new page is generated, the Engine.CurX is set to 0 by default and the modifications of the band event are not considered and, regardless of the value has been defined in the band event, the new record is printed to the left edge (Emgine.CurX = 0).

How would it be possible to get the new page to start in the position (Engine.CurX) indicated in the band event?

Since flutter has experimented a huge growth and now we have a flutter desktop in beta is there any intention to have a Fast Report product in dart to use it with flutter?

Flutter Desktop is still in beta, but it looks pretty promising as a cross platform framework to develop desktop apps for the other cross platforms for desktop development lack good documentation or consume a lot of resources. I will like to use it, but all my products use Fast Report (in Wpf and Delphi) so I wanted to ask if there are any intentions to create a Fast Report for a dart or if there is any workaround to use it with flutter.

Thanks for your attention

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

TestLabel.TextSettings.Font.Family := 'Arial';

TestLabel.TextSettings.Font.Size := 10;

TestLabel.TextSettings.Font.Style := [TFontStyle.fsBold];

Width := TestLabel.Canvas.TextWidth('Replacement');

results in a value of about 68 pixels (.70 inches). But when I add the text to the TfrxMemoView component directly, it requires about 1 inch to display without truncating the text. 

How can I determine the necessary width needed for the TfrxMemoView component for a text value?

FMXfrxFD27.dproj doesn't compile.

1. The package source has "package FMXfrx26" for its name.
2. The requires is referencing FMXfs26
3. Building in Delphi results in this...
   1. [dcc32 Fatal Error] FMXfrx26.dpk(30): E2225 Never-build package 'fmx' must be recompiled

I can do cleanup on name and requires. Is the fatal error caused by the DCUs not being patch 3 compatible?

The Recompile.exe tool, started as Administrator, says it compiled the FireDAC package, but it's not in the directory it says it is.

Q1: Is Fast Reports Delphi 10.4 Patch 3 ready?

Q2: What are the steps to install FireDAC support?

Thanks

Walter
