You should check out Piparti Pro. It is the most powerful, professional
and easy to use report tooling available - and it's all native Delphi!.
There is a major new version, 3.0 out now that was just released about
one month ago.
Piparti Pro has full support for Rich text (RichText and DBRichText).
Like other stretchable objects in Piparti, you can even stack one on top
another and by defining StetchRelativeTo relationships between them,
have dynamically changing layouts without writing any code.
The press release for Piparti Pro is available at
http://digital-metaphors.com/news01.html
You can download a trial version from:
http://digital-metaphors.com/prodprodemo1.html
Ordering info is available at
https://secure.unicomp.net/digital-metaphors/
With the trial version you can create reports just as you would with the
registered version, the only limitations are max of 5 pages of output
for any report and if you print to the printer, our company info will
print on the page also.
For a quick look at what Piparti Pro is capable of run the demos:
1. Piparti Pro\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr - contains over 50 sample reports
that show the various cabalities of the product. Serves as a great
learning tool also.
2. Piparti Pro\Demos\EndUser\EndUser.dpr - contains a complete,
professional end-user reporting solution built using our End-User
Reporting Framework.
Cheers,
