New features of FastReport VCL

With FastReport VCL 2022.2.8 version new MS Outlook and Gmail transports, an improved script code editor and several changes in objects for Lazarus will become available to you.

New objects in interactive forms

Interactive PDF forms can now be enhanced with new Combobox and Listbox objects. This will make it easier for you to work with interactive PDF documents for creating questionnaires and surveys.

New transports

There are new transports for accessing MS Outlook and Gmail mailboxes via the Webmail API.

Transports can send and receive reports, as well as receive the result in the form of exported documents. See how to use MS Outlook and Gmail from FastReport VCL.

Improved script code editor

Quick commenting of code blocks using the hotkeys “Ctrl + /”.

Quick addition of viewable variables (context menu and hotkeys).

New pop-up tips and step-by-step debugging modes “Step over” and “Run until return”.

Object changes

The TfrxHtmlView object can now also be used in Lazarus. We’ve also added support for output from left to right with the processing of the dir="rtl" parameter.

The new ClearEmptyLines property of the Text object enables to delete empty lines in the object. Combined with the CanShrink and ShiftAlways property, this allows to collapse objects with empty values, shifting up the entire tree of the bottom objects.

The update with new transports is available now to all users with a current subscription.
