Transferring global variables into a report

aleksi

Hello,

I will like to build reports using FastReport 4.13.2 for Delphi XE5. I am just new to FastReport; and I could not find the appropriate chapter in help-documentation that addresses this issue.

I will like to show the report, by a Click-event of a button from the MainForm.

Thus, I will be linking the FastReport's form to the MainForm in order to acquire Global variables??? values, to be inserted into FastReport???s text-contents. In order words, how can I display parameters/values from application MainForm anywhere within the FastReport (:using ???Text??? Object)?

Global variables can of the types ???String???, Integer???, Float-type???, etc. Let???s say, for example, Edit1.Text or Myvariable:= 99 from the MainForm. How can I transfer/access variables defined in the Delphi project in my FastReport?


Any help and enlightenment about this issue will be highly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!


Regards,
Alex Siron

unit Main;

interface

uses
SysUtils, WinTypes, WinProcs, Messages, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls;

type
TfrmMain = class(TForm)
btnPreview: TButton;
procedure btnPreviewClick(Sender: TObject);
Edit1: TEdit;
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
frmMain: TfrmMain;

implementation



{$R *.DFM}

procedure TfrmMain.btnPreviewClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
frxReport1.ShowReport;
end;

end.

read the programmers manual chapters on using variables and how to pass values to those variables.
also how to use the ongetvalue event.
