frxReport.DesignReport does nothing

david_obrien · June 2022

Just installed FastReport 2021.2.1 in Delphi 11.1 from Getit and tried a simple test:

unit Unit33;

interface

uses

Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,

Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, frxClass, frxDesgn;

type

TForm33 = class(TForm)

frxReport1: TfrxReport;

Button1: TButton;

procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

private

{ Private declarations }

public

{ Public declarations }

end;

var

Form33: TForm33;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm33.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

frxReport1.DesignReport;

end;

end.

DesignReport does nothing. No error. Some documentation mentions having a TfrxDesigner, but this isn't an object in this version.

Any ideas what I need to do to get this going?

It seems you are use free FR Embarcadero edition. It doesn't have run-time designer support. Use FR Standard or higher

Thanks. I wasn't aware of the restriction. We are in the process of licensing.
