anyone use iReports?

[GaryVass]

I have been trying to find a reporting program (similiar to crystalreports) that works for both windows and linux. I was trying Report Manager (reportman) but am unable to get it to run under LInux.

So I have designed a report with iReports and it does seem to create the report well. BUT, how do I run this from kbasic? IReports is an interface to jasperreports. Jasperreports is a java based program.

There is an example here: http://jasperforge.org//website/ireport ... et=ireport

How would I integrate this into kbasic?

Thanks.

Don't know. Maybe ask on their mailing list about how to use it with C++ or other languages...

Apparently, you have to call iReports from a java application. I found suggestions that you write a simple java app to call ireports, then call the java app from the c++ or other program.

So, now I have to figure out how to write a small java app.... i am assuming I can call the java app from kbasic...

from my head,

Code: Select all

Dim ReturnCode As Integer
ReturnCode = Shell("Notepad.exe", True)
