TxlDataSource class

Unit: xlReport

This class represents an item of the collection (a TCollectionItem descendant) used to bind a dataset to a report (i.e. with the instance of TxlReport). Its main purpose is to describe a data set supplying data for a report. Create instances of this class using methods of the DataSources collection or the TxlReport.AddDataSet method. Fill the properties needed while editing the form or at run-time. Here are the properties:

• DataSet - a dataset, an instance or a descendant of the TDataSet class;
• Range - the name of the range whose cells should be filled with the dataset data;
• Options - range options;
• MacroAfter / MacroBefore - macro's names that will be executed after/before data transfer.

Example:

Because this class is not designed to be used alone, it doesn't contain published methods. In addition to properties, the TxlDataSource class contains several events that can be useful in some reports.
