Hello Master Roberto,
I wrote my previous message in a hurry.
There are some points about report generator I have noticed:
1. Very easy to program.
2. Easiest way of customization of paper size. I am telling this, because I was experimenting about this for some weeks with many Harbour and xHarbour libraries. Our HMG is the best. And with Report Generator, Best even becomes Better
3. Codes are so structured that sometimes I thought we don't need any GUI Report Generator any more. In my "pseudo-poetic" language may I call it "pen-picturing" or "keyboard-picturing"
4. I got some ideas about how Report Generators work. IMHO, this knowledge is more helpful than Report Generator itself (please don't misunderstand me, I like this application very much).
My wishlist:
There are many. But, I don't want to say them right now, because they may diverse your focus.
Thank you again for this excellent application.
With best regards.
Sudip

IMHO, this is VISUAL! Visual, inside the mind.3. Codes are so structured that sometimes I thought we don't need any GUI Report Generator any more. In my "pseudo-poetic" language may I call it "pen-picturing" or "keyboard-picturing"
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

I've discovered this kind of 'visually structured' code for the first time in RapidQ (a wonderful BASIC compiler written in Delphi).sudip wrote:3.

I've applied the concept for the first time in window definitions, later in TAB and the other controls.
So, it's not my idea

Well... it was rainy, windy and very cold here, so, I've continued working on report generator
I've added PDF output support. It is based on 'hbvpdf' Harbour contrib library.
The code is attached to this message.
To test, look at 'demo6.prg'
Here are the details:
Enjoy!
Roberto.

To test, look at 'demo6.prg'
Here are the details:
Code: Select all
PDF Output:
- This feature relies on hbvpdf Harbour contribution library and must be considered experimental. Objects position could not be fully accurate. It will require more research.
- If <cOutputFile> is specified as 4th parameter on 'ExecuteReport' function, a PDF file with report content will be generated. (<lPrintPreview> and <lSelectPrinter> parameters will be ignored).
- Only .jpg image files are allowed.
- There is not color support yet.
- The following fonts are supported:
- Times
- Helvetica
- Courier
- The following paper sizes are supported for PDF output:
- PRINTER_PAPER_LETTER
- PRINTER_PAPER_LEGAL
- PRINTER_PAPER_A4
- Sample:
Demo6.prg
