How to display FastReport designer, and registration

[DC]

Hi,

I think we are supposed to bring up the FR designer in code. So I tried something similar to the Help file suggestion:

oFr := TFastReport():New()
oFr:DesignReport()
oFR:End

This above runs ok, but doesn't display anything.

We don't have an official Report component, correct? I searched through all the controls (I think), and didn't find any.


As an Enterprise user, do I need to register FastReports? Or is it pre-registered?


Regards,

Hi,

Fast Report for Xailer is NOT INCLUDED on Xailer Enterprise. Is a separate product, but you can use it from any Xailer version. The only limitation is that only prints five pages and shows a watermark. Check the fastreport samples.

Yep, I understand. Ozs clarified the matter, thanks.

Also, I can't locate the FastReport component. The help file says you can create it with code, but it doesn't display.

In the sample c:\xailer\Samples\FastReport\MasterDetail.xpj, the database location defaults to an c:\ozs folder, so you have to change that to c:\xailer\Samples\FastReport\demo.mdb. But the big problem is that it references two components TFrXailerDataset, which I can't locate in the Datasets tab, or any other tab.
