Part 4: Full application with data 301 Overview of "Reports and Queries" "Reports & Queries" allows the users to modify and create the reports and queries found in your applications. The user thinks that some information is missing in the standard report? "Reports and Queries" allows the user to add this information from the report viewer. This modification may be useful for the other users? The report can be made available to all users who are using the application in network. Same for the queries. Remark "Reports and Queries" is free and it can be distributed with your applications developed with WINDEV. See the license for more details about the distribution and use conditions. Starting "Reports and Queries" In order for the end users to customize the reports of your application or to create their own reports and their own queries, all they have to do is start "Reports & Queries". To allow the end users to start "Reports & Queries": • display your reports in the report viewer. The end users will be able to start "Reports and Queries" by clicking . • add the automatic help menu ‘?’ into the main window of your application: on the "Window" pane, in the "Bars and menus" group, expand "Main menu" and select "Add the ’?’ menu". In the wizard for creating this menu, check "Create, modify a report" and "Create, modify a query". • use RunReportsAndQueries in your application. Distributing "Reports and Queries" with your applications To distribute "Reports and Queries" with your own WINDEV application, you must: • specify in the project that the application allows "Reports and Queries" to be run. • in the analysis, define (if necessary) the files and items that can be used in "Reports and Queries". • define the reports and queries that can be modified in "Reports and Queries". • create the executable and the setup program including "Reports and Queries".
