Report Pro 2 - NextProw

[Alf]

Hi to all X-Sharp-Friends,
after converting an application using ReportPro2 from VO to XS, I get a little problem with oPrinter:NextPRow: NextPRow has always the same value as PRow and is not increased by AvgCharHeight. My current solution is to increase PRow manually (i.e. PRow := PRow + 0.43). But this seems not to be very smart. My version is 2.36.0.4.
Thanks for help.

Alf,
there IS already 2.39.0.4 in the download, you might try this.

Hi Alf,

Can you please create and send me (the aef) a small sample in VO, showing how you use NextPROW in a report? Then I will port it to X# to compare.
I checked through my sources and apparently I had never used that, I only use PROW.

Hi Chris,
you find my demo in the attachment. After opening a DBF a simple report is created: all records appear in the same line. When I replace "NextProw" with "PRow += AvgCharHeight" (please look for the comment lines "ALF" in PrintPageBody) it works well. Ok, that's not really a problem for me, but nevertheless a correction for the next version would be nice.

Hi Alf,

Thanks for the sample! Indeed, it works in VO but not in X#, looking into it...

Hi Alf,

Ah, it's because of a silly bug in the RP2 code. Do you have the source code version? If you do, please go to the file

ReportPro2, RuntimePrintingRpPrinter (D).prg

and change the access

Code: Select all

ACCESS NextPRow AS LONGINT
RETURN LONGINT(SELF:PRow+SELF:AvgCharHeight)

to

Code: Select all

ACCESS NextPRow AS REAL8
RETURN SELF:PRow+SELF:AvgCharHeight

That should do it..

Hi Chris,
Could you please also place a fixed version of this in the download section?

TIA

While you are at it, a fix for the problem long multi-order tags slowing down the appearance of the preview in designer would be fine, too (i know, i promised to deliver a sample, shame on me...)

Hi Markus,

Unfortunately things are a little hectic to create a new full installer right now, but since this is only a very small change, do you mind if I just send you an updated dll for now?

Karl, can you please send a sample reproducing the problem?
