Delphi Tip of the Day: FMX FastReport Text Object (TfrxMemoView)

[DP News-Robot]

I've been playing around with FastReport in FMX. To be honest, I've been struggling a bit. So, today I decided to go back to square one and work through the FMX documentation on the FastReport website. https://www.fast-report.com/public_d.../en/index.html

"Hello, World" report example... No Problem.
"The "Text" object... No Problem.
HTML-tags in the "Text" object... Doesn't work as advertised.


The "Text" object (TfrxViewMemo) is extremely powerful. It accepts simple HTML tags that lets you modify a single text field in some really cool ways. It's kind of like a mini "Rich Text" object.


Here is a what a working example is supposed to look like:

That is one text field with multiple effects applied to separate sections:

• Bold
• Bold and Italic
• Superscript
• Subscript
• Color

I ran into an issue when I followed the example to create the "Orange" text. It didn't work. The Original example from the FastReports did not turn the text orange.

Using <font color="#FF8030"> did not display the text in orange. The text between the opening and closing font tags did not display at all. Seeing that the "red" font tag worked, I tried using the color name "orange". And it worked.

I then tried using the Alpha Color of #FFFF8030 and it also worked.

I'm glad I was able to make the FastReport example work. It a very powerful object. I experimented with several different Delphi Color name constants and they also worked. I did run into an issue with some of the obsolete color name constants, such as MoneyGreen. The FastReport designer did not recognize "MoneyGreen as a valid integer. It did however take the MoneyGreen HEX equivalent of #FFC0DCC0.


I decided to create a the following cheat sheet of all the font color names that FastReport text object will recognize.
