Customer 1

 Product A          10

 Product B          23

 Product C          5

Customer 2

 Product B          50

 Product D          1

 Product E          20

Customer 3

 Product A          99

 Product C          5

 Product E          30

I need to report the totals by product at the end:

Sales Totals

 Product A         109

 Product B          73

 Product C          10

 Product D          1

 Product E          50

Is a Report Summary band appropriate in this instance? If so, how do I put multiple grand totals in the report.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Newbie user here.

We have a software that generate reports using an embebded version of Fast Report.

We can create forms and new reports using this embebded version (FastReport 5.6) and can save/export as a prepared report (.FP3 file).

To allow other users to visualize these prepared reports, we installed FastReport Viewer Tool on all computers.

But every time we try to open a report, the viewer acuses the following error: "Class C1 not found".

What could it be?

using c++ builder 10.3.2, fast report pro 6.9.15, unidac 10.4.1

When combining the 3 in a vcl win32 app, a form just including components (no code) fails to compile. It worked perfectly with earlier version of unidac.

The compile error happens in fast report header, frxUtils.hpp line 145 "E2189 extern variable cannot be initialized"

extern DELPHI_PACKAGE System::Uitypes::TColor __fastcall IfColor(bool Flag, const System::Uitypes::TColor cTrue, System::Uitypes::TColor cFalse = (System::Uitypes::TColor)(0x1fffffff));

Any idea where it comes from?

Last year we migrated our Delphi environment from Delphi 11 to Delphi 12.2, meaning that we also did an upgrade for FastReport as it's embedded in our product. We jumped from a 2022 version to a 2025 one. (2022.1.6 to 2025.1.1)

We developed multiple reports, along with their respective scripts a while ago and we encountered an error about FirstDayOfPrevMonth not being declared, along with a few other functions (LastDayOfPrevMonth, FirstDayOfNextMonth...). We work with pascalscript for the report scripting part.

Any infos of an update that obsoleted these functions? Is there any alternatives to these without redeveloping them?

Thank you,

Vincent

  lPictureView := TFrxPictureView(frpStandalone.FindObject('rpim03Chart'));
  if (lPictureView <> nil) then
    lPictureView.Picture.Assign(FChart.TeeCreateMetafile(False, Rect(0, 0, Round(lPictureView.Width), Round(lPictureView.Height))));

Chart is shown correct in my development environment with Screen 1920 x 1200 resolution

If I run the compiled version on a Laptop with Screen 3840 x 2400, Scaling 250%, Chart is filling only a part of the available space. I tried different settings on AutoSize, KeepAspectRatio, Stretched but no impact

What can I do?

I tried to save a report with TfrxExportCsv filter and Option DataOnly = True. The report looks like this

and the CSV like this

Is there a possibility to avoid the amount of separators? (Only one separator between each field)

Thanks

I'm using thsi code (from above)

procedure TForm1.frxReport1Preview(Sender: TObject);

var

 frmPreview: TfrxPreviewForm;

begin

 frxReport1.PreviewOptions.Modal := False;

 frmPreview := TfrxPreviewForm(frxReport1.PreviewForm);

 frmPreview.BorderStyle := bsNone;

 frmPreview.Parent:=Panel1;

 frmPreview.Left:=0;

 frmPreview.Top:=0;

 frmPreview.Width:=Panel1.ClientWidth;

 frmPreview.Height:=Panel1.ClientHeight;

end;

.. but why preview is empty (I have one text control my report page) and able to see it through frxPreview component.

Have tried:

frxReport1.PrepareReport;

frxReport1.Preview.Show;

frxReport1.ShowReport;

frxReport1.Preview := frmPreview1.Preview;

frxReport1.ShowPreparedReport;

but nothing helps.

What I did wrong?

Thank you

if I try to open in demo projekt TeeChartProDemo the form uTeeChartPro I get the message "Class TfrxChartObject not found".

Found some similar messages in web, but nothing helped.

E.g. Recompilation of FastReport after activating line " FChart.ParentWindow := frxParentForm.Handle;" in frxChart.pas

I found a workaround in this forum, but the named link (https://www.fast-report.com/en/faq/12/102/) is not available

I'm little bit frustrated to pay a lot of money to see now, that VCL is not fully supported.

I use a report with 3 different pages. Page 2 has 2 columns. Setting of Page 2 and Page 3 is PrintOnPreviousePage = True.

Is there a possibility to break columns 1 so that in Column 1 and Column 2 same count of rows. Currently Column1 is filling complete page before it is switching to column2

There is in VCL also no setting "Print down then across" like in the .NET version right?

regards

Gerd

I'm new with FR and just try to move reports from QuickReport to FR, but I got the feeling, that the vcl version is treated a bit neglected. Or is it because I work with Delphi XE?

When my chart first displays, it’s got the legend on the left side, and both the “Total” and “Rate” series are checked in the legend and display on the chart:

If you move the mouse over the chart, another window displays over the upper right of the chart:

1. What’s the name for that window on the right?
2. How do you control where it appears?
3. How can you disable it entirely?
4. The buttons on the upper-right window control visibility of the series. How can I have the checkmarks on the legend control series visibility instead of that upper right window?

Thanks!

Not one of us like Steema TChart. I would easily say, we all hate it with a passion.

Its clunky, overly complex, and trying to design a chart is like pulling your own teeth out.

Will FastReports ever have its own system to create charts? The basics. Bars, line, pie, blah.

We don't use them in reports, as trying to do them in the report editor is down right awful.

No way to sugar coat it.

All the higher ups are goofy in the head for Tableau reporting. Which is nice for what it is, but I can't tie it directly into our programs like we can with FastReports. But it can make interactive charts in the reports. Which is a hot thing right now.

The only thing we've been limited by is charts when it comes to FastReports.

We try to use TChart but end up scrapping it every time, its just to darn clunky to use.

The designer and the overly complex nature of TChart is just to much to handle.

Doing simple changes or setting basic things is too much for anyone to handle. Not a fault of FastReports per say, but it would be nice to have a native charting system finally built in after all these years.

I have windows 10. Version of Fast Report is 5.3.13

Can you help me ?

Now when I compile my program, frxPrinters is missing?

When I search the source folder, there is no frxPrinters files at all.

So if this got retired, what replaced it?

As I needed this for the printer list, paper tray stuff, ect.

I assigned a URL link (e.g. https://www.microsoft.com) to a TfrxBarcode2dview's Value property.

When the report is run, I can click the bar code and the link is shown but it is on the current page of the browser. How do I get the link to show up in a new tab of the browser?

previewControl.PageSetup();

the page sizes usually appear in inches. We have a customer for which the page sizes are appearing in centimeters.

What controls this?

we're using the latest version of FR 6.

Lately we are having big problems with opening the designer. We have reports that have multiple datasets, maybe 10 and some have more than 100 attributes. If we open such a report, we wait for over one minute for the designer to open. Then it also takes a long time to open the memo for editing. In general, working in the designer is very slow. Printing and previewing are without problems.

Would you have any tips for us on what to look for? We are retrieving the data from a Firebird database, but it's not at the speed of SQL queries.

Thanks for any advice

(I removed some information from the screenshots)

However, when I export the data, the content appears misaligned:

With TfrxDOCXExport, the content starts shifting off-screen, and on each new page, it gradually shifts back. For example, on page 7, only a line is visible, but on page 8, we see the picture and some text.

Once the content fits on a full page, the report starts to go off-screen again on the following pages.

With TfrxXLSXExport, the first column in use is column AT.

After running some tests, I found ways to avoid this issue, but not a full solution:

• If I select dxObjects in ExportType, the DOCX export works correctly.
• If I remove the picture in the header, both DOCX and XLSX exports work.

Is there a way to fully resolve this issue?

Unable to locate the program input point cryptRetrieve Timestamp on the dynamic link library crypt32.dll

I am currently using version 24.2.8 of FastReport and want to create an application that can dynamically switch between multiple languages.

I found that in the componet directory, the res for the following languages do not provide files before compilation,

FastReports24.2.8\Sources\FastLocalization\VCL\Sources\*.res

Because I need to make some minor modifications to the control and add some of my specific features to it.

I want to switch between multiple languages now. If I haven't compiled the source files before res, I won't be able to add custom multilingual prompts.

Can you provide the following res file, the source file before compilation? Thank you.

I hope to receive guidance from people.

I have a table with 100 Fields

Group Header 1

Master Data - contains fields for the Master record

Detail Data1 - contains multiple records for the master without headers

Detail Data2 - contains Memo field that displays lots of text (multiple lines)

Group Header 2 - contains column headers for Detail Data 3

Detail Data 3 - contains different multiple records for the master

Group Footer 2

Group Footer 1

When I run the report, the Memo field from Detail Data 2 overlays Group Header 2 and Detail Data 3. How can I adjust Group Header 2 and Detail Data 3 to allow for the expanded field from Detail Data 2?

I often download fr3 format templates or excellent fr3 templates created by others to incorporate into my projects.

In this, I have some concerns, because I know Pascal script is supported and I have even seen support for js scripts etc. I have also seen in the help documentation that custom functions are supported.

So I wanted to ask, is there a possibility that some people could create malicious code that judges the environment the template is used in and then carries out destructive behaviors, like deleting a file on my computer?

I have carefully analyzed the fr3 template format, and found it is XML format,

In which there is a key word ScriptLanguage="PascalScript"

Could I detect potential risks by searching for ScriptLanguage= and similar phrases in templates?

I hope to get everyone's reply on this, looking forward to it, thank you.
