AR6 Eval: Problem with RTF formating.

12-10-2009, 1:39 PM
I've just tried my first test project and hit a snag. I'd like to use the RTF fields to generate a PDF report from some web content, and populate it manually however the report is not formating correctly. The RTF seems to be misbehaving. See attached output. The code is nothing special (see below) if someone could fill me in, it would go a long way to complete a sale...

Regards,

Rob Fleming


VB CODE:

Imports DataDynamics.ActiveReports
Imports DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Document

Public Class arPdfTest

Private Rw As Integer = 1
Private Sub arPdfTest_FetchData(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal eArgs As DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport.FetchEventArgs) Handles Me.FetchData
RichTextBox1.Html = "HTML Row:" + Rw.ToString

TextBox1.Text = "Text Row:" + Rw.ToString
Rw += 1
If Rw > 10 Then
eArgs.EOF = True
Else
eArgs.EOF = False
End If
End Sub

End Class

Hello,

Use the Format event of the section containing the TextBox and the RichText box to assign them the values. Please see the attached sample application showing the expected behavior.

You may also take a look at the Custom PdfExport walkthrough showing how to export report to PDF in a website.
Feel free to reply for any further assistance.

Thanks for the quick reply. I stumbled onto this eventually but want to understand the odd behavior when seting the values in the FetchData. Should I avoid setting any fields in that event? Or are there times I should? Thoughts?
