fast reports designer locks up RAD Studio

tdisquetdisque
in FastReport VCL

I installed 2024-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5048667) yesterday. Today, when I run Fast Reports Designer, it locks up RAD Studio. I must use the task manager to kill it.

Before I uninstall the update, I want to ask if anyone else has experienced this problem.

    I uninstalled the update and now I can use the designer.

    And now, after updating Windows, it sometimes crashes and sometimes does not.

    This may be a RAD Studio problem. My google search results have pointed to IDE problems.

    Can anyone suggest an equivalent method to invoke Fast Reports Designer besides double-clicking the form icon or right-click and selecting 'edit'? If I can find another way to invoke the Designer that doesn't hang, I'll take it!

    Alternatively, how do I run the Fast Reports Designer from a command shell? What does the command look like it I run it from a Windows command shell?

    Try to use run-time designer (add TfrxDesigner and use frxReport1.DesignReport to show it).

  • tdisquetdisque

    I'm afraid I don't understand 'use frxReport1.DesignReport'. Do you mean that I should extract my .fr3, .dfm, and .pas files to a stand-alone project that invokes frxReport1.DesignReport when I run it?

    just extract fr3 report template

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu.
