Variable from Main Form in Report

tekkyeah · December 2005

Hello,
I have a small delphi application that reads some values from an Ini-File.
Now I need to submit these values as variables to the Report to place it in the Title or to use it to calculate some values from a dataset.

The general question is how to submit values from the main application to the report if they are not stored in DataSets.

Ho do I do this ?
I didn't find anything about this in the "small" documentation und also nothing in this forum.

Anyone can help me ?

Hi Holger,

1. you can use direct access to the FastReport components:

 Â TfrxMemoView(frxReport.FindComponent('frxMemo1')).Text:='Hello World';

2. you can use variables: In the report menu: "Report" - "Variables". There you can create categories (you don't have to) and variables. From MainForm you can set the value with:

 Â frxReport.Variables.Variables['VariableName_FloatType']:=15.45;
 Â frxReport.Variables.Variables['VariableName_StringType']:=#39+'Hello World'+#39

Hi Lemmy,

thanks a lot for your reply and the solution of my problem.

I think I can buy FR now, because it fits all my needs...

Hey

I??? am using Borland C ++ v6. My basic problem is the same as Holger's.
I tried the following code but I can't get it to work.

TfrxMemoView(frxReport1->FindComponent("frxMemo5")).Text = "Hello World";

btw. I?? am thinking about buying FR3, but are there any example that supports C++?.

Help
