Innovations in FastReport.Net 2018.4 touched the web reports as well. Now you can display reports in fpx format, i.e. Pre-prepared reports. The fpx format is very convenient for exchanging reports, because it contains data in addition to the template. Therefore, to display a report in fpx format, yo.

As far as I know - Indy works. Except maybe on WinCE (unconfirmed) - Zeos works - Synapse works - dcpcrypt works - tcomport works - many turbopower components work. - VST is in Lazarus-CCR, but an older v4 version. VST porting is hindered by not accepting changes (like a sane IFDEF system) upstream, which makes every port an one off change.

- Jedi is too vague. Probably they mean JVCL, but it is a very large mix of packages and functionality. Some of which is horribly OS specific or worse (like the traceback stuff relying on Embarcadero's debugformat).

Parts of JVCL have been ported (CCR), and I have compiled large parts of the Jedi JCL. There is also a lot of duplicate functionality (relative to packages in there). Paid stuff - Fastreport has a Lazarus version. - teechar With a bit of good will, a lot can be done. But don't try to convince people that don't have a strong motivation (like a desire to be multiplatform). It is usually a waste of time, and it only forces their defenses up.

Pdf jesus alegria dos homens mp3. In time probably we will have to do what code typhon tries to do and at least start adding a handful of crucial components (like the free stuff above). But in a more transparent an less ad-hoc manor than CT. Quality, not quantity. This will probably make it easier to communicate with upstream. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list.

> I wouldn't say Laz is clunky at IDE and forms stuff. But that's a feeling, not a fact (as is the opposite contention). As for the 'basic elements'. Well, if those people (PHBs?) want to believe that, they're welcome to it. The fact that they're connecting to the horror that is MySQL says enough As leledumbo said, virtualtreeview has been converted, so have various Jedi units, and Lazreport offers reporting services. Yes, it might be different but it is cross platform and in constant development.
