fpreport manual
« on: November 30, 2019, 10:45:00 pm »
Hello everyone.
I have downloaded and installed i-win32-win32/win64 Lazarus Trunk Version 2.1, Date 2019-11-09 svn revision 62218, FPC 3.3.1 on Windows 7, and i also installed fpreport.

I'm trying some reports with fpreport. I have used lazreport before and been able to pass parameters by means of the OnGetValue event, but that event is not available with fpreport. These are the events available in fpreport: OnAfterRenderReport, OnBeforeRenderReport, OnBeginReport and OnEndReport.
Should I try OnBeforeRenderReport to pass parameters?
Is there a complete manual for fpreport somewhere?
Thank you all for your help.

I have stumbled across the following:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPReport
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPReport_Usage
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPReport_FAQ

Preview Lazarus 3.99 documentation at: https://dsiders.gitlab.io/lazdocsnext

This chapter of the FAQ (https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPReport_FAQ#I_cannot_compile_the_FPReport_packages) says that FPReport does no longer compile on Laz/64 bit since Jan 2019.

Is this still true, almost one year later?

It would be better if such observations would be submitted to bugtracker so that the maintainer can take care of it because he certainly will not take notice of this message.

Fresh Lazarus 2.1.0 r62315 FPC 3.2.0 x86_64-win64-win32/win64 from today

I think it looks true, with a fresh install of fpc fixes32 and Lazarus trunk.

something is wrong with the package fcl-report in FPC. It is not built by default. In Makefile.fpc.fpcmake it is not found, nor in Makefile.fpc
But it is found in fpmake_proc.inc around line 794.

The is a good Demo in lazarus\examples\fpreport\simple :-) Look here to found some questions answered. The OnGetValue event is here in TFPReportUserData, because report gerneration and renderer are split into two seperate parts. But you see this in the demo, look in CreateDemoReport.
