Hi,
What is alternative for SetFormatSettings() method? In Sergey version, we used this:
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxThousandSeparator, ".")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxDecimalSeparator, ",")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxCurrencyDecimals, 2)
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxDateSeparator, ".")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxShortDateFormat, "dd.mm.yy")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxLongDateFormat, "dd.mm.yyyy.")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxTimeSeparator, ":")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxShortTimeFormat, "hh:mm")
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxLongTimeFormat, "hh:mm:ss")
Thanks!

Does this mean that we have for every date field to manually define display format? Also for currency values.
We have an option in our ERP for date format (and other field types) and that affects all reports.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hello,
Since I'm not an expert on FR I need to know how to set those settings on report design time. Of course, there should be a way to do it.

Hello,
Sorry, I thought you are, since you're the only one who is replying to our posts
This is how it should function, at least that's how it worked in Sergey version.

Put Text object on design area
Right click on that object -> Display format...
For category select Date/Time
Set field Format string to be empty
Confirm changes by clicking button Ok


When category is selected and field Format string is set to be empty, then format is taken from settings which is defined by:
oFr:SetFormatSettings(frxShortDateFormat, "dd.mm.yy")
I suppose this concept is pretty fine, but if you have some other idea, I'm ready to discuss it.
BTW, FR is able to automatically detect when Text object contains date, and then, format is taken from Regional settings (Short date format). Since it can vary from system to system, that's why it's good for format to be set.

From documentation:
:SetFormatSettings(<nSetting>, <xValue>)
Set format settings for FastReport. <nSetting> is described in FastRepH.ch (fastrepf_h.h). <xValue> - value for setting. Currency and date/time formatting options:
The initial values of these variables are fetched from the system registry using the GetLocaleInfo function in the Win32 API. The description of each variable specifies the LOCALE_XXXX constant used to fetch the initial value.
CurrencyString - Defines the currency symbol used in floating-point to decimal conversions. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_SCURRENCY.
CurrencyFormat - Defines the currency symbol placement and separation used in floating-point
to decimal conversions. Possible values are:
0 = '$1'
1 = '1$'
2 = '$ 1'
3 = '1 $'
The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_ICURRENCY.
NegCurrFormat - Defines the currency format for used in floating-point to decimal conversions
of negative numbers. Possible values are:
0 = '($1)' 4 = '(1$)' 8 = '-1 $' 12 = '$ -1'
1 = '-$1' 5 = '-1$' 9 = '-$ 1' 13 = '1- $'
2 = '$-1' 6 = '1-$' 10 = '1 $-' 14 = '($ 1)'
3 = '$1-' 7 = '1$-' 11 = '$ 1-' 15 = '(1 $)'
The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_INEGCURR.
ThousandSeparator - The character used to separate thousands in numbers with more than three digits to the left of the decimal separator. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_STHOUSAND. A value of #0 indicates no thousand separator character should be output even if the format string specifies thousand separators.
DecimalSeparator - The character used to separate the integer part from the fractional part of a number. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_SDECIMAL. DecimalSeparator must be a non-zero value.
CurrencyDecimals - The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a currency amount.
The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_ICURRDIGITS.
DateSeparator - The character used to separate the year, month, and day parts of a date value. The initial value is fetched from LOCATE_SDATE.
ShortDateFormat - The format string used to convert a date value to a short string suitable for editing. For a complete description of date and time format strings, refer to the documentation for the FormatDate function. The short date format should only use the date separator character and the m, mm, d, dd, yy, and yyyy format specifiers. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_SSHORTDATE.
LongDateFormat - The format string used to convert a date value to a long string suitable for display but not for editing. For a complete description of date and time format strings, refer to the documentation for the FormatDate function. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_SLONGDATE.
TimeSeparator - The character used to separate the hour, minute, and second parts of a time value. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_STIME.
TimeAMString - The suffix string used for time values between 00:00 and 11:59 in 12-hour clock format. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_S1159.
TimePMString - The suffix string used for time values between 12:00 and 23:59 in 12-hour clock format. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_S2359.
ShortTimeFormat - The format string used to convert a time value to a short string with only hours and minutes. The default value is computed from LOCALE_ITIME and LOCALE_ITLZERO.
LongTimeFormat - The format string used to convert a time value to a long string with hours, minutes, and seconds. The default value is computed from LOCALE_ITIME and LOCALE_ITLZERO.
ShortMonthNames - Array of strings containing short month names. The mmm format specifier in a format string passed to FormatDate causes a short month name to be substituted. The default values are fecthed from the LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME system locale entries.
LongMonthNames - Array of strings containing long month names. The mmmm format specifier in a format string passed to FormatDate causes a long month name to be substituted. The default values are fecthed from the LOCALE_SMONTHNAME system locale entries.
ShortDayNames - Array of strings containing short day names. The ddd format specifier in a format string passed to FormatDate causes a short day name to be substituted. The default values are fecthed from the LOCALE_SABBREVDAYNAME system locale entries.
LongDayNames - Array of strings containing long day names. The dddd format specifier in a format string passed to FormatDate causes a long day name to be substituted. The default values are fecthed from the LOCALE_SDAYNAME system locale entries.
ListSeparator - The character used to separate items in a list. The initial value is fetched from LOCALE_SLIST.
TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow - Determines what century is added to two digit years when converting string dates to numeric dates. This value is subtracted from the current year before extracting the century. This can be used to extend the lifetime of existing applications that are inextricably tied to 2 digit year data entry. The best solution to Year 2000 (Y2k) issues is not to accept 2 digit years at all require 4 digit years in data entry to eliminate century ambiguities. Examples:
Current TwoDigitCenturyWindow Century StrToDate() of:
Year Value Pivot '01/01/03' '01/01/68' '01/01/50'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998 0 1900 1903 1968 1950
2002 0 2000 2003 2068 2050
1998 50 (default) 1948 2003 1968 1950
2002 50 (default) 1952 2003 1968 2050
2020 50 (default) 1970 2003 2068 2050

Is there something specific with setting these four formats? If I enable any of them, application breaks on startup.

Dear Sir,
:SetFormatSettings(frxTimeSeparator, ":") Is working here without problems. BTW, all the other settings are working perfectly under Xailer, so it seems the problem is only with console operations and currency format values.
The method SetFormatSettings() indeed only modifies a simple system Delphi record. So, if it fails is because on Console applications some of the record members are not present and Delphi does not track that issue correctly. I'm afraid there is not to much we can do about it but to catch the GPF.

This looks like some debug message.
Any update with this? If you build provided example, without Xailer framework, I suppose you'll get the same dialog box on run time.

Hello,
I've tried to build example on another machine, and the result is same - message dialog appears again.
From you answer here ( http://www.xailer.com/forum/index.php?t ... =17793&amp ;goto=55280&#msg_55280) I understand it's pretty complicated to locate the problem, but we have to do it somehow. Almost every report has currency on it, which is formatted globally.

It's working now for time settings. But, I get this messages when it's about currency settings:
SetFormatSettings(frxCurrencyFormat, ?) not supported on console applications.
SetFormatSettings(frxNegCurrFormat, ?) not supported on console applications.
SetFormatSettings(frxCurrencyDecimals, ?) not supported on console applications.
What do you mean by this, isn't FR independent?
