You can create the .TTX as a text file and just rename it. There has to be
a <tab>in-between id column, the data definition column and the example
column otherwise you may get erroneous results. When you create report use
as a connection the field definition connection and then you will be use
place columns as required. Then a runtime you will be able to pass a
dataset of the query to the report.
This may help to generate the ttx files:

We are looking a using Crystal Reports within our Cppbuilder
application. I understand that CR will be included with the up-coming
version of Builder, is this right? and is it a full version or just
teaser. What version of CR is it, XI?

If I cannot wait for the release of CppBuilder, could I buy Delphi and
would I then get the Cppbuilder when it is released? I am trying to
avoid paying for CR twice.
Crystal Reports is not included in Borland Development Studio 2006
(CBuilder 2006 or Delphi 2006). It was included in Delphi 8 and Delphi
2005 for .NET development only. It was not the full version of Crystal
Reports, and was based on Crystal 9, IIRC.
Rave Reports is included, I believe, but I don't know about C++
compatibility.

Version 9, specifically.
Where can I post questions about using it?
The only thing I have found is for VB(Visual Basic) in MSDN.

You can ask me. I have the answer that fits all questions - "Don't use
this {*word*99}".
4 years ago, after fighting with QuickReport for about 8 months I wrote, in
spare time, my reporting package in Delphi. My boss was (and is) more
than happy.

We need more reports how the boss is happy with Delphi. The world seems to
like (Visual) Basic.

Re: Crystal Reports

Hi,
Is there any API or design time controls that can be used to communicate
data and open crystal reports 10 rpt files?
Thanks
 

Re: Crystal Reports

Hi
There is a CrystalVCL10.zip somewhere avaiable in the businessobjects.com
website.
Unzip the folder, you can find cr10cvcl.bpl.
Install in C++ builder you will get TCrpe VCL control.
Thanks

Re: Crystal Reports

I haven't used CR before, both standalone CR itseft or CR components.
Is Crystal Report software must have install in the machine in order to use
the CR components in Delphi?
Or does it like Quick Report, Rave Report and Report Builder can connect to
any database?
 

Re: Crystal Reports

Based on your rather open-ended question, all I can really say is, "It
works."
I've also blogged about how to import the controls:

If there's something specific that you need to know, I am willing to
put at least as much effort into an answer as you will put into the
question.

Re: Crystal Reports

Since I now know it works, which I actually did not know before so thanks
for that. I do have a few more specific questions.
1) I need to connect to the database in a multi tier arrange using Midas.
Will it work with a clientdataset?
2) Can the preview pane be imbedded in my own window?
3) Can I create a report that holds a single image and programmatically add
several images,pages to the report and then export it to a pdf without it
being preview or printed?
4) Can I use old (version 8) reports with the latest version?
Thanks
