Nag line displayed

edited September 2009 in FastReport 4.0
Hi,

I developped programs for my own using Delphi 2009.
For some reason (one is price !) I decide to change the report writer used.

I saw many good things about FastReport and the good think was you can use the demo version if you print less that 6 pages (I print always 1 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ) and you don't use scripting. As I understand, scripting are events for objects and report. And the point is I don't use any event and I haven't write any codes in the report writer. May be during the learning phase (still learning[/img][img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> ) I click on an event to take a look ... but no Pascal codes ! When I print my report for the first time ... I was surprised to see the nag message "FasReport - Unregistered version (only 5 pages)". But there's only 1 page and as I said no script. Any idea or help? Thanks a lot Hope I haven't to begin again my reports with another report writer or to pay 179$ (not the time for me[/img][img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ) Best regards[/img]

    you miss understood the nag screen will display always on demo version.
    you must purchase a minimum of basic version.

    Hum hum ...
    I know I'm not fluent in english and that I make mistakes but here is what I read on the download page:

    >>>
    Demo version restrictions:

    * only 5 pages of the report can be printed or exported
    * the nag message displayed if the report has a script
    <<<

    I read it many times again and I can see "IF the report has a script" not "there is always a nag message displayed" (even if there is a script [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> ) But is it a mistake (too bad for me as I already redisign all my reports with FastReport !!!![/img][img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ) or I'm really bad in english (and thanks if you can explain my mistake !) !!?! If it's a mistake may be I can have a special price to discover it[/img][img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Last, is the basic version enough to use external queries and DB (components used in Delphi and connected to the Fastreport DB dataset component), ADO components in FR, groups, Master, Detail, Functions, ... Thanks and best regards[/img]

    go here to see the difference between various versions.
    http://fast-report.com/en/products/report-...ure-matrix.html
    FWIW, IMHO
    it is better to buy pro version, that way you have source code and can recompile and take advantage of most recent updates(sometimes daily)

    Zebulon, when I was evaluating the product, I used the DEMO, and it did NOT display the nagscreens for simple reports.
    Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and now I use the Standard (purchased VCL, D7) version, so I can't tell you exaclty what I did to have it working.
    I suggest that you start with a blank report, and add your components bit by bit to it, there is a certain condition (presence of script?) that will trigger the nag screen, but it's not very clear to me what it is anymore.
    So keep trying.

    So the "demo behaviour" is right [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> But I still don't understand why I have the nad line ! I've done just what you said ... Way be my error was to take a look at the code page and click on an event (no code added and lines removed). Will see Regards[/img]

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. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
