Templates

The reporter creates reports based on templates.

A template is a regular RTF, HTML, XML or text file that contains special tags.

A tag is a command for the reporter. For a RTF template, tags must be enclosed in curly brackets “{}”. For a HTML, XML and other templates, tags must be parenthesized with “\{” and “\}”.

Main features:

Uses RTF, HTML and XML templates
Creates reports in RTF, HTML and XML formats (for ex. Excel 2003 XML format)
Direct access to RTF files (MS Word not required)
Direct access to Excel 2003 XML files (MS Excel not required)
Gets data from any TDataSet descendant (loops are used to iterate over datasets)
Nested loops (datasets) are supported
Free and open source software licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3 or later (see lgpl-3.0.html)
Tested with Delphi 2007 - 12.1. Supports all editions including the Community Edition

Tags that Reporter recognizes

This is a list of template tags that Kryvich's Delphi Reporter can recognize and evaluate:

Any other tag in a template that cannot be evaluated by Reporter itself must be populated in the OnGetCustomTagValue event handler.

Demo Project

The distribution includes a demo project that demonstrates the reporter's work. To show various techniques, I used several TDataSet descendants as data sources:

TClientDataSet, which loads data from XML files.
Several TClientDataSet objects linked by master-detail relationships.
TADOQuery associated with an MS Access database file (.mdb).

The source code for this demo project is also included.

The demo reports are generated based on the DBDEMOS database that comes with Delphi. Here is a list of the generated reports (in order of increasing complexity):

Simple Customer List Report.
Invoice Report.
Order History Report.
Part Sales Report.

Questions & Answers

Please ask. My e-mail can be found in File_Id.diz, which is included in the distribution.

Plans

The plan for future versions of Kryvich's Delphi Report includes, among other things, the following features:

Simple arithmetic operations in tags. For ex. {Items.Qty*Parts.ListPrice*(100-Items.Discount)/100}.
Named tags: Tags with assigned names that can be used in other tags, similar to database fields. For example, a named tag {AnnualSales=Sum(PartSales.Amount)}, which can then be used in the tag {Max(AnnualSales)} (see the next feature - aggregates for custom tags).
Adding aggregates for custom tags populated via OnGetCustomTagValue. For example, we could write {Sum(PartTotal)}, see Invoice Report Demo.
…Any suggestions?
