Creating Report At Runtime (C++ Builder)

iolaltd

Hi,

I'm trying to create a report (well, add some fields to a report) at runtime through C++ Builder but the following doesn't seem to work; is there something else I need to be doing?

frxLabel = new TfrxMemoView (((TfrxPageHeader*)frxApplicationList->FindObject("PageHeader1")));
frxLabel->Parent = ((TfrxPageHeader*)frxApplicationList->FindObject("PageHeader1"));
frxLabel->CreateUniqueName();
frxLabel->Top = 4.6;
frxLabel->Left = 10;
frxLabel->Height = 20;
frxLabel->Visible=true;
frxLabel->Memo->Text="123123123";

The label just doesn't appear!!

ALSO, do I need to delete frxLabel afther the report has displayed or does FastReport handle this for me?

Thanks,

Andy

Sorry,

Sods law : "add a question to a newsgroup and then 10 minutes later you will sort it out yourself"

I also needed to add,

frxLabel->Width=...;

and multiply the values out using the pre-declared "fr1cm" so,

frxLabel = new TfrxMemoView (((TfrxPageHeader*)frxApplicationList->FindObject("PageHeader1")));
frxLabel->CreateUniqueName();
frxLabel->Top = 4.6 * fr1cm;
frxLabel->Left = nLeft;
frxLabel->Width = 4 * fr1cm;
frxLabel->Height = 2 * fr1cm;
frxLabel->Memo->Text="123123";
frxLabel->Visible=true;

Works for me!
