Converting FP3 to FR3

rowisoft

Hi,

is it possible to convert a FP3 file to a FR3 file? I tried to save the PreviewPages of TfrxReport to a Stream and load that Stream in a TfrxPage but that does not seem like it works...

Is there a way to convert FP3 to FR3? (PreviewPages to a new Report?)

Thanks in advance,
Robert

no a .fp3 file is a saved output file only.

Hi,

I know what a fp3 file is, but that was not the question!

My question was how to convert a fp3 file to a editable fr3 file. Our server generates fp3 files of all generated reports and saves them to an archive. Now I want to use this saved outputs in FastReport.

My current code is (c++builder)

                //there must be 2 TfrxReport Components:       fp   and    fr

    fp->PreviewPages->LoadFromFile("c:\\test.fp3");
    for (int p = 0; p < fp->PreviewPages->Count; ++p)
    {
        TfrxPage *srcPage = fp->PreviewPages->Page[p];
        TMemoryStream *str = new TMemoryStream();
        srcPage->SaveToStream(str);
        str->Position = 0;
        TfrxPage *pag = new TfrxPage(fr);
        pag->LoadFromStream(str);
        delete str;
    }
    fr->ShowReport();

But that does not work - no new Pages or other TfrxViews are added to the report... (FastReport 4.5)
Shouldn't there be at least one page in the new report? (Because I create a new Page with "new TfrxPage")

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi,

It's me again [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I found a way to convert a FP3 file to FR3 manually: Open the Preview of the FP3-File and open the preview in Editor (Button "Edit Page" in Preview-Form). Now opens the FastReport Designer where I can save the page with "File" - "Save as". Is there a way to do that in my code without opening the Report Designer? Best regards, Robert[/img]
