Workarounds and Enhancements | ||
| Most of the hints given here are for legacy code. But we will be adding more relevant things from time to time. | ||
| May 2008 | QR5.01 | C2006 reference to wrong package(vcljpg100.bpi). There are two workarounds for you - change the dependency to 'vcljpg.bpi' or make a copy of vcljpg.bpi and rename it to 'vcljpg100.bpi'. This will be fixed in 5.02 which we are working on now. 8/5/2008 |
| May 2008 | QR5.01 | Childband problems. Childbands are now able to print before and/or after their parent. The default is accidentally set to 'BeforeParent' which is wrong. So users with childbands have to reset the property. This will be fixed in 5.02 which we are working on now. 8/5/2008 |
| May 2007 | QR4 | Report designs which use the formless style of earlier versions of Delphi will not load into BDS 3.0/4.0/5.0 unless the Quickrep component is registered. Instructions here. We are preparing a regisration procedure to automate this. |
| May 2007 | QR4 | Printing large reports without re-creating them. There is now a global flag in Quickrpt.pas called PrintMetafileFromPreview. If this is set to true, then printing from the metafile will not recreate the report. |
| Nov 2005 | QR3.62/QR4 | Change the colour of a band at runtime. There is a new property of bands called TransparentBand. If set it stops the band background from overprinting. |
