Working with OLE containers

davidrgh

Hi there

We need to use an OLE container in a report generated with FastReport 4.

The first tries were fine, but we need to assign the object (a CorelDraw X5 file) in a dynamic way.

I mean, the CorelDraw file is different each time, so we can't assign it directly inside the project. We need to pass it from a external source (from the Delphi application).

Anyone knows how can we do this?

Best Regards.

David Rguez.

Try to use (for Adobe Reader for example )
TfrxOLEView(frxReport1.FindObject('OLE1')).OleContainer.CreateObjectFromFile('C:\test.pdf', False);

Hi.

Can something like this be done from inside of FR?

I have PDF-files on disk where filenames are stored in a table in DB. What i need is to build a report that list information from my table together with a print of my PDF's.

So, I drop av TfrxOleView in my detail-band, and try to set it up in a OBP-event on the band. But I haven't found the correct way of doing this. Any hints anyone?

Thanks. I'm a little lost here. Is there any examples anywhere showing how this can be done?

Found it, in the developer's guide.
