File Name in FastReport designer

Wayne B

If I load a report from a stream from a database, is there a way to change the report name at the top of the designer without saving it to disk first? I've tried using this "frxPROLetter.Report.ReportOptions.Name" but it does not change at the top of the designer form.

Thanks
Wayne

In the Embedded Designer demo they cast the "Designer" to a Form class. If you do that you should have direct access to the caption. You may have problems with some other code in the designer changing it after you set it. But you should be able to do something like this:

uses frxDesgn;

var
Designer: TfrxDesignerForm;
begin
Designer := TfrxDesignerForm(frxReport.Designer);
Designer.Caption := 'My Caption';

Hello,

I'm trying to get started with my first Fast Report Projects. I'm having trouble finding documentation that answers "what" and "why" type questions. For example I have been looking at the DoublePass property in the help files trying to figure out if I should set it for my reports.

double pass is used primarily in cases where you want data that would be
displayed in a footer displayed in a header.
see the main demo dialogs and script totals in group header report.
or where you gather data on the first pass to be used in the second pass.
