Formatting of Group total shown in the header

jayan

I am successfully showing the group total in the header, in the way it is explained in the FR manual and also shown in the main demo ???Frdemo.exe??? .

There is one problem though. That is, even if the total is shown correctly, the formatting is gone. That is instead of showing

Sum: 1,234.56

it is shown as

1234.56

This is evident in your demo too.

Please suggest a solution, as it is very important for my current project.

I am using the FR 3.24.2 Standard with Delphi 7.

Regards

Jayan

I have sorted the problem. Really speaking the solution is very simple.

I used the Format() function in the script.

irw10062, thanks for your advice, but that was the first the I had done. The thing that baffled me is, how come the formatting gets destroyed by just assiging some value in the script. That part still is a mystery. May be there is another solution too.

since you based it on the demo you probably did something like
procedure Memo4OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
begin
if Engine.FinalPass then
Memo4.Text := 'Sum: ' + VarToStr(Get(<Sales."Company">));
end;
you are resetting the text of the memo to contain a string so it is not numeric and no formatting will occur, therefore you must use the format function to preformat the value returned in vartostr().
