Report Debugging
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 5:19 am
Hello,
After having all the troubles creating reports earlier in Delphi using Fast Reports, sometimes now (not that often, but anyway, time to time) I thought that the oppotrunity to debug the reports would be a wonderful thing which might attract potential customers. Most of the time I get the exception message (if any) that clearly describes the situation and I can figure out where the problem is easily - thanks to that. But sometimes I think that an opportunity to put a breakpoint or see in the debugger how a row of data is put in the report, how the OnBeforePrint fires, create a watch - would be fantastic! I don't want to say that something's wrong right now, I fully understand that this is an enormous work, not a bug fix or something, but later on, may be in future if it becomes possible - that gonna be a real breakthrough!
Thank you!
