TQuickRep - QuickReport is a banded report generator written
in Delphi. Integrated very closely with Delphi and C++Builder, reports
are designed in the Delphi IDE, using the IDE form designer as a
report designer.
TQuickRep. This is the most important component of them all, a
container for all the other printing components. It represents the
paper on which your report will be printed. Its Page property lets
you set up the dimensions of the paper you are going to print on,
while the Dataset property specifies a source of data that the report
will iterate through.
Note that, instead of dropping a TQuickRep component onto an ordinary
form, you can instead add a TQuickReport module to your project using the template provided.
A TQuickReport is a bit like a TDataModule - it is a specialist
type of form, which is never displayed to the user. If you wish
you can use TQuickReport pseudo-forms instead of TQuickRep components
on ordinary forms - there is no difference in their methods,
properties and events. But we recommend, from experience, that you
put a TQuickRep component on a form: it’s the more versatile
approach. For example, having the TQuickRep component on a form
lets you use the form’s OnCreate event if you want to create
additional objects to be used by the report programmatically.
