PureBasic Forums - English

Hi.

I've done a quick search for "report" on these forums and I couldn't find anything I could use except Report Builder which I've installed but I don't think it's freeware.

Do you guys know of any small DLL/lib that you could view and print a report made at runtime (SQL queries) preferably freeware?

ReportBuilder is a report package for Primary school teachers (possibly a new version for Secondary teachers too!).

I think what you are requesting is a spooling print library for using in programs you write, is this correct?

If so then you may be interested in a dll I'm writing to print documents easily. It is based on the command set of 'ddoc32', it should be compatible once you have opened the library (but not with the actual ddoc file format) - I use ddoc in ReportBuilder, but need to write a replacement because of future requirements.

It will not be freeware though, but it will be cheap for the initial testing period (prob £20 - £30).

Yes, but in a way that I could see what's going to get printed before it actually does like a page setup based on a database query. I know Delphi has QuickReport for easily creating reports on the fly. So I was wondering if there was an equivalent.

I might take a look at it when it's done. Thanks.

The print preview was planned to get expanded to do re-page setup (to change the size/format of the page from what was intended by the calling program).. Is this what you mean?

I guess.
I work on a company that has a system that you can view any kind of report based on the same database data.

Check out http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_ ... +generator
There's a myriad of open source report generator products hosted over there.

Looking for something similar myself and checked out the forum.

Decided to start writing my own. Fairly new to Pure Basic so taking a while for updates etc. Check out http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... lit=report just to see how far i have got. Page setup and Query builder done so far. Working on main form interface at the moment.

Check out ReportManager.

It is open source and had a DLL that you can use from any programming language.

It also has reporting server feature.

Another one is OpenRPT. It is built in C++ but quite powerful.
