I would assume they are still developing it, those are features I would like to see as well as the ability to align text. Of course with the full source available there is nothing to stop anyone from developing those features themselves...
However you would not require smart SQL scripts, you just require the ability to write code that can step through the data in the order in which the bands are processed in a QR report. Not so hard at all. I just wrote code to create a CSV file (for Excel) in the same format as a report and that was not at all difficult. The report had a group header and footer and a detail band. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Mark Howard > Sent: Thursday, 25 October 2001 13:40 > To: Multiple recipients of list delphi > Subject: Re: [DUG]: PDF Components > > > Jeremy > Have had a quick look only (being a sole trader, usually can't follow a > thread to its conclusion in one go!) > > It certainly appears to produce PDF format effectively but with > its lack of > multilevel banding and grouping, it is clear that it will require a > combination of: > much smarter SQL scripts than I have been able to get away with using QR > and/or a lot more code to create the data to be printed on each band. > > I guess it would be a bit much to expect a freeware component to > be a proper > banded report generator that also produced PDF output :( > > Will probably try to use it if the client site wants to head down > this track > (now doubtful - see next post) > > Mark > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "vss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 10:04 AM > Subject: [DUG]: PDF Components > > > > Hi all. > > For those of you hwo have downloaded that PDF component and have looked > > at it, what did you think ? > > > > Cheers,Jeremy Coulter > > > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > - > > New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz > > To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > with body of "unsubscribe delphi" > > Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > --------- > New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz > To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with body of "unsubscribe delphi" > Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
