Dataset field drag and drop, doesn't work correctl

pvasile

Hello,

If you try to drag and drop onto the report a Dataset field from the DataTree window, the new memo field will get created correctly but it doesn't display the Dataset field name, it will display an empty memo on the designer. However, when the report gets previewed the memo will display the correct field value.

At design time the memo looks like :

[ ]

For example, it should look like:

[DBDataset."SURNAME"]

The FR3 allows two forms to return the values from the field.

The first one is inserting the reference of the field in memo.

Second it is indicating "dataset" and the "field" in the inspector of objects.

When we make drag and drop of a field machine FR3 uses the connection standard.
For bigger details, it sees in the inspector of objects the properties dataset and field.

The reference to the field will only be shown in the first case.

Yes, this works, but when I preview my report, an error have occured :
Memo1 : Field not found : frxMyQuery."Name"

I see this field in the Datatree window correctly.

Can you help ?

In FastReport 2.53 the field name is displayed automatically inside the memo when you drag and drop it onto the raport.

Can we have a similar functionality in FR3?

Actually, in FR3 if you drag and drop several fields onto the report, you'll see just some empty memos, which is not very helpful, you have to go back and edit them manually by double clicking on them.

Vasile,

It is clearly, would be good we to have the functionality of the FR3 simultaneously filling the two forms.

But this is not an error of the generator.

It remembers: In the inspector of objects of the FR2.5x it does not have place to insert dataset or field.

Of any form the improvement order is registered here.

Yes, I agree with you, this is not a bug, but it would be very nice to have this functionality in one of the next releases...
