Is there Components ( Package ) for making Reports ?
« on: November 05, 2009, 11:25:35 pm »
I am absolute beginner with Lazarus ....
So I have a question about to make some Report and print this report ...
( Something like QuickReport Package in Delphi may be ? )
Thanks !

try, lazreports
Thanks, I found the lazreport.lpk, compiled and installed it ...
After that I tried to use an example editor ...
But it is designed to work with database components, I would like to start using simple way for a report some strings, which I have in a Memo component.
How to make this simple report ? ( Next time may be I will try to make report  with database )
Thanks !

Try PDF Reports
All things considered insanity seems the best option

The PDFReport package is available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus-ccr/files/Demos

I did install the package PowerPDF.
Next I did build an example MakeDoc attached to this package ...
It works and creates a .PDF file ...
I did follow this example and did try to make my application to create a .PDF file, but there is a message in my application about this declaration:
type
  TContentsElement = class;

the error message is:
unitpdf.pas(17,22) Error: Forward type not resolved "TContentsElement"

But this declaration works fine without any error in the original example !!!!
I am unhappy  >:D
Thanks!

I need to make a report only to show / print 12 strings ....
No database report .... Very simple report ...
I would appreciate a small example.

LAZREPORT

you have an example using a stringrid and making a report from it  (NO DATABASE). the example is in component path of lazreport.
