Hi Boban,

>I have tried to set property successor in main RL object and I have set property isSuccessor = .T. in successor RL object and I have put some code to change FontStyle in method EvaluateContents() in successor RL object but no change has happened. Both RL objects are ListenerType = 1.


There has to be code in the main ReportListener to call the EvaluateContents of the Successor.

If you are using the FFC ReportListener, you will see there is code in most methods (Render, BeforeBand, AfterBand, etc...) to call the Successor object's methods. However, there is is no code in the FFC ReportListener's EvaluateContents or AdjustObjectSize methods.

MODIFY CLASS _reportlistener OF (HOME(1)+"\ffc\_reportlistener")

This is because putting code in either of these methods can cause a performance hit to the report run. The ReportListener decides at run time if there is code in either of these methods and will not fire the event if there is no code. Because the successor object depends on the parent object to fire its events, your successor ReportListener's EvaluateContents and AdjustObjectSize methods are not getting fired.

If you were to add code similar to this in your parent ReportListener's EvaluateContents method it should work as you expected. But there will be a performance hit during the report run:

FUNCTION EvaluateContents(nFRXRecno, oObjProperties)

IF NOT ISNULL(THIS.Successor)
   THIS.SetSuccessorDynamicProperties()
   THIS.Successor.EvaluateContents( m.nFRXRecno, m.oObjProperties)
ENDIF

There will be a change in the next release of VFP to provide more control over this with the "CallEvaluateContents" and "CallAdjustObjectSize" properties. (see Sedna Overview Documents in the September 2006 Letter From The Editor on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/letters/)
