What's New - v6.0¶

The changes in version 6.0 can be divided into:

Studio and OCX¶

• Barcode support
• Case statement
• Custom section names
• Embedded SQL
• Extract page layer
• Performance improvements
• Copy and paste between reports
• Case-sensitive comparison in functions

Integration¶

• cWebDRReport class: The cWebDRReport class was introduced in DataFlex Reports version 4 and made obsolete for version 6. All members are merged into the cDRReport class. The class is available for backwards compatibility, but there is no difference anymore between cDRReport and cWebDRReport. Web-only methods and properties are only available when a web project is being compiled, and Windows GUI-only methods are only available in Windows projects. It is advised to replace the references to cWebDRReport with cDRReport.
• Integration wizard changes: In version 5 and before, the integration wizard generated the events (procedures) OnProgressRecordsRead and OnProgressFormatPage in the cDRReport object when creating a Windows GUI integration. The v6 wizard no longer does this, and the events in the cDRReport class have been changed to display the status information. The events can be removed from existing cDRReport object instantiations if not altered.
