Is Fast Report available for Lazarus?
« on: October 18, 2012, 05:31:37 pm »
I thought I read somewhere that Fast Reports was available for Lazarus?
I went to the fast reports web site but did not see any mention of it.

If I forget, I always use the latest stable 32bit version of Lazarus and FPC. At the time of this signature that is Laz 3.0RC2 and FPC 3.2.2
OS: Windows 10 64 bit

It is not published yet. It does exist for sure, I saw Zeljan demonstrating it in Holland 1.5 months ago.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

LazReport is based on Fast Report and comes with Lazarus.

They have the same codebase but this claim is still misleading.
Fast Report is already at version 4 and is very different from LazReport.

I also did that search, but if you look close it mentions the Lazarus support is for FastScript, not Fast Reports.

Contact fastreport.  As Juha said, we saw Zeljan demonstrate fastreports4 beta on Linux, and nearly everything was implemented. They were just ironing out the bugs.

Last few days I had an opportunity to see what FastReports are capable. The key is the previewer, not the designer. Imagine that you designed a complex report. Now, imagine that the previewer can EXPORT your report to a PDF, XLS (with wysiwyg), RTF, CSV, TXT, HTML, directly send e-mail... you dont need to do additional programing. For me it was great to see the power of having format conversion capabilities.
