Number to words in Rave Report

Question

I have managed to design a report the way I want but I am not able to get Rave Report to print/convert Grand total to Words like for example if the grand total is 1,200.00 it should print One Thousand and Two Hundred only.

Is something like this possible in Rave Report?

Answer 1

I do not think Rave Reports has any inbuilt function which converts numbers to works. However, I have found a article, which explains How to Convert Numbers (Currency) to Words, on About.com.

Have a look at the ConvertToWords function in the NumberToWords unit.

You could convert the number and pass the words to the report at runtime.

Edit:

You can pass parameters to your reports like this.

  RvProject.Open;
  RvProject.SelectReport('ParametrizedReport',False);
  RvProject.SetParam('Name','Leonel');
  RvProject.Execute;
  RvProject.Close;

Have a look at the Introduction to Rave Reports article.

Answer 2

I want to do the samething, but the number that am try to convert will calculate OnBeforePrint, so which Event we use to send the parameter?
