Application Programming Interfaces

REPORTMAKER programming interfaces allow to integrate report outputs into a business application. In most cases, a few lines of code (such as the minimal example shown below) will be sufficient to display, print, export or email a report.

However, there may be more complicated situations, requiring that you take control and change things programmatically. The programming interfaces give plenty of power to do that. They are object-oriented and contain about 300 methods, properties and events. That's enough to create a report from scratch, without using the report editor! More info ?

Available APIs

REPORTMAKER offers three equivalent programming interfaces:

  • ActiveX: to be used with Visual Basic, Visual C++, and all development tools supporting the ActiveX standard.

  • VCL for Delphi and C++Builder, supporting the following Delphi and C++Builder versions:

    • Delphi 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006 and 2007 (in Win 32 mode)

    • C++Builder 5.

  • DLL: based on a plain dynamic link library (not an ActiveX library). Can be used with all Win32 development tools.

The three APIs are functionally equivalent and can be used on all Microsoft Windows (Win32) platforms.
