Question about creating report programmatically(Delphi 2007)

MafKomutel

Hello fast report community!

So my fquestion is how does memo and masterdata controls work together? For the moment, I have a masterdata on my frxreport interface and I add memos in it dynamicly at runtime. I set each memo a datafield and everything is working great because the memos are fill automaticly from the datafield but what I want to do is to fetch my query and to create masterdata rows and memos dynamicly so I have more control over it. The thing is, I dont know how controls work..Like when I set a datafield on a memo I write automaticly every rows data from my query on the report, but are each new lines a new memo or masterdata row? I'm kinda lost at the moment trying to understand how it work in background...


What i want to do is something like this:

for I := 0 to qry.recordcount do
begin
  
  Add new masterdata row?...   
 
  for I := 0 to qry.fieldCount do
  begin

   Add memo in new masterdata
  
  end;
end;

Seriously I'm lost somehow...Hope you can understand my need!

Thanks, Marc.

Hi gpi, thank you for your reply. I have read the part about creating report by code but the example is not really what I am looking for. Let's say I dont want the memo to have any datafield but i'd like to create each row/columns (my report look like a datagrid object) by code using double loops(see first example). Is it possible?

Like in this picture imagine each text would be a memo and each row a masterdata? How does a memo work in background when when you set a datafield to it? Cause when you set the datafield the memo automaticly create "rows" and set the data to it........
