Introducing Rave Reports are a primary means of retrieving information from the data being managed by an application. To solve the problems associated with presenting a visual report of data in a meaningful and informative manner, traditional visual reporting applications have offered banded layout tools geared toward table-style data listings. Today, however, more complex reporting requirements exist that are not easily handled by banded layout tools. Rave Reports is a visual report design environment offering many unique features that help make the reporting process simpler, quicker, and more efficient. Rave can handle a wide variety of report formats and includes advanced technologies such as mirroring, to encourage the reuse of report contents for quicker changes and easier maintenance.

Rave is an intuitive page based visual design environment that can easily handle a wide variety of report formats, much more than a purely banded style tool. Rave also includes mirroring and other technologies to encourage you to reuse the contents of your reports for quicker changes and easier maintenance.

This chapter presents a brief introduction to Rave's features. Additional information about Rave can be found in the online Help files, in the PDF documentation on Delphi's CD, in several demo projects, and on the producer's website, www.nevrona.com. Note A key feature of Rave—and one of the reasons Borland chose it over other solutions—is that it is a completely cross-platform solution you can use on both Windows and Linux.

Not only do Rave components integrate with both the VCL and CLX, but the Rave Designer is itself a cross-platform application written in CLX. Figure 18.1: The Rave Designer with a simple report Note Any time you want to see the result of your efforts, press F9 in the Rave Designer for a preview of the current report. Keep in mind that Rave allows your end users to create or modify their own reports. You can set the Rave Designer level to Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced in the Edit ® Preferences dialog box (in the Environment section) so your end users will be working at the level they're comfortable with and won't have more power than you want to give them. You can also lock features of the report so they cannot be modified. Page Designer and Event Editor The central portion of the Rave Designer window hosts the Page Designer (where you lay out the report) and the Event Editor (where you can provide scripts to customize the report at run time). The Page Designer is the most noticeable aspect of Rave.

This page is the foundation of a report, where you perform all the designing actions. The page displays a grid pattern, although you can change the look and feel of the page with the preference settings. The names of the current pages being designed appear in the tabs above the Page Designer ( Page1 in the figure). The Event Editor allows you to define custom scripting code for the report components.

Each component has several different types of events that can be used for calculations, string manipulation, or custom report logic. The Event Editor is an advanced feature of Rave; I'll cover it briefly at the end of this chapter.

The Property Panel The Property panel at left in the Rave Designer helps you customize the way components appear or behave. This panel has a role similar to that of Delphi's Object Inspector: When a component is selected on the page, the Property panel reflects the selection by displaying the different properties associated with that component. If no component is selected, the Property panel is blank. Also as in the Delphi IDE, you can change a property value by editing the contents of the edit box, selecting an option from a drop-down list, or bringing up an editor dialog. You can double-click on any property that has a list of choices (instead of clicking on the down arrow button and selecting the option) to advance to the next item in the list. The Project Tree Panel The Project Tree panel on the right side of the designer is very informative. It also provides an easy way to navigate a report project's structure.
