Capabilities ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION FastReport® 6.0 VCL is an add-on component that allows your application to generate reports quickly and efficiently. FastReport® provides all the necessary tools to develop reports, including a visual report designer, a reporting core, and a preview window. It can be used in the Borland® Delphi 7-2006, Borland® C++Builder 2006, Turbo Delphi/C++Builder, CodeGear® Delphi 2007, CodeGear® C++Builder 2007, CodeGear® Delphi 2009, CodeGear® C++Builder 2009, Embarcadero® Delphi 2010, Embarcadero ® C++Builder 2010, Embarcadero® Delphi XE, Embarcadero ® C++Builder XE, Embarcadero® Delphi XE2, Embarcadero ® C++Builder XE2, Embarcadero® Delphi XE3, Embarcadero ® C++Builder XE3, Embarcadero® Delphi XE4, Embarcadero ® C++Builder XE4, Embarcadero® Delphi XE5 and Embarcadero ® C++Builder XE5 environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. NEW FASTREPORT 6 FEATURES Classes: - New fill types available in the Memo object: gradient and glass. - Memo object can have several highlight conditions. The highlight condition now includes the following style settings: frame, font, fill and an object visibility. You may turn on and off each setting. - Memo object can have several format settings. When a Memo object contains multiple expressions in a text, you may specify a format for each expression. - Added Filter property to data bands. You may filter out data rows without using a script. - Changes in the report file format: collections like datasets, variables, formats, highlights are written as nested properties for better readability. Old files (FR VCL 3 and 4) are fully supported. - Added MouseEnter, MouseLeave events to report objects. - Added Visibility property (set of flags - vsPreview, vsPrint, vsExport). New objects: - New 2D barcodes - PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code. - New barcodes - Code128, EAN128 with auto encoding. Interactivity: - New interactive report types: detail report and detail page. When you click an interactive object, a new report is built and displayed in a separate tab in the preview window. - Added interactivity in the Chart object. Clicking on a chart element, you may build a detail report. Exports: - New exports: HTML5 (div), DOCX, XLSX, PPTX. - Improvements in RTF, XLS, XML, HTML, ODF exports: support of different frame lines in a single Memo object. - Improved font embedding in the PDF export: font subset is embedded instead of a whole font. This will significantly reduce a file size. GUI: - New icons in the designer and preview windows. - Improved appearance of the Data tree: new icons for different field types. - New/improved dialogs: highlight, frame, fill, hyperlink, databand editors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. CAPABILITIES - Band-oriented report generator. - Fast, compact and flexible code allows you to extend FastReport functionality. No additional DLLs needed. - Built-in powerful and easy-to-use designer (also available in run-time). - Full WYSIWYG - Set of most useful components: Text, Line, Diagonal line, Picture, Shape, OLE, RichText, Chart, Barcode. You can also write your own components. - Ability to export your reports to other formats (such as TXT, RTF, HTML, PDF, XLS, XML, JPG, BMP, TIFF). - Dot matrix reports. - Built-in language allows you write code without programming in Delphi.
