delphi - Fast reports - bulleted text

Question

Is there a way you can have bulleted tekst in fast reports 4.13 ? I have a memo field which I would like to display bulleted. If not in fast reports are there any other delphi components that can do that ?

Answer 1

The RichText object (TfrxRichView) supports bulleted text.

The question which may naturally raise up, is how to make that bulleted list from code. Well, that's quite easy. You just set the Numbering property of the current Paragraph for the inner RichEdit of the TfrxRichView object to nsBullet. Assuming you have a RichText object named Rich1 placed on a report frxReport1, you can use a code like this to make three bulleted items:

uses
  frxClass, frxRich, frxRichEdit;

procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Component: TfrxComponent;
begin
  Component := frxReport1.FindObject('Rich1');
  if Component is TfrxRichView then
  begin
    TfrxRichView(Component).RichEdit.Clear;
    TfrxRichView(Component).RichEdit.Paragraph.Numbering := nsBullet;

    TfrxRichView(Component).RichEdit.Lines.Add('Item 1');
    TfrxRichView(Component).RichEdit.Lines.Add('Item 2');
    TfrxRichView(Component).RichEdit.Lines.Add('Item 3');

    frxReport1.ShowReport;
  end;
end;
