10E24 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Dear fellow uniGUI developers, I’m trying to develop a server-based report writer that includes charts/images and a Table Of Contents. My ideal is that the report would be downloaded to a user’s browser as either a RTF and/or PDF file. I’m currently using kbmMW’s components to create a REST server (running on a Windows VPS). The server generates JSON output, and currently users access the server with a Delphi VCL front-end. The VCL front-end uses DevExpress’s VCL Rich Edit Control including their Table of Contents object and embeds chart images from TChart and images of tables created using FlexCel. It works well, but I'm migrating the client front-end to a uniGUI front-end. Everything is going well with the migration, but I’m stuck on how to generate the report directly from either uniGUI or the REST server. I’m sure this is a common programming problem, but I haven’t been able to find a simple solution using either uniGUI or other Delphi tools. Previous forum posts here have suggested developing a stand alone report server, which I'm happy to do, but could use some advice as to recommendations for this task – I am comfortable with a commercial solution. Kind regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilton Ergon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 you have to use a report tool, which generates this pdf on the server, such as report builder, fastreport and others. if your user changes the text in a richtext component, and then you generate the report, you will have a problem, because unigui does not have a native component that works with richtext, it only has an html editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegojmap Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm having problems with crashing I believe it has to do with the reports. Sometimes some reports have 1500 pages and the unigui is having to generate them. I am also looking for something autonomous. Or simply create a separate exe. I've tried the fastreport server and it also has some crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
