2. NEW FASTREPORT FEATURES
|
|
|
|
Classes:
|
|
- New fill types available in the Memo object: gradient and glass.
|
|
- Memo object can have several highlight conditions. The highlight condition now
|
|
includes the following style settings: frame, font, fill and an object visibility. You may
|
|
turn on and off each setting.
|
|
- Memo object can have several format settings. When a Memo object contains
|
|
multiple expressions in a text, you may specify a format for each expression.
|
|
- Added Filter property to data bands. You may filter out data rows without using a
|
|
script.
|
|
- Changes in the report file format: collections like datasets, variables, formats,
|
|
highlights are written as nested properties for better readability. Old files (FR VCL 3
|
|
and 4) are fully supported.
|
|
- Added MouseEnter, MouseLeave events to report objects.
|
|
- Added Visibility property (set of flags - vsPreview, vsPrint, vsExport).
|
|
|
|
New objects:
|
|
- New 2D barcodes - PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code.
|
|
- New barcodes - Code128, EAN128 with auto encoding.
|
|
|
|
Interactivity:
|
|
- New interactive report types: detail report and detail page. When you click an
|
|
interactive object, a new report is built and displayed in a separate tab in the preview
|
|
window.
|
|
- Added interactivity in the Chart object. Clicking on a chart element, you may build a
|
|
detail report.
|
|
|
|
Exports:
|
|
- New exports: HTML5 (div), DOCX, XLSX, PPTX.
|
|
- Improvements in RTF, XLS, XML, HTML, ODF exports: support of different frame
|
|
lines in a single Memo object.
|
|
- Improved font embedding in the PDF export: font subset is embedded instead of a
|
|
whole font. This will significantly reduce a file size.
|
|
|
|
GUI:
|
|
- New icons in the designer and preview windows.
|
|
- Improved appearance of the Data tree: new icons for different field types.
|
