TFPRreport and TFPJSONReport need some clarifications. Maybe MVC can
confirm/correct the below:<br>
<br>
TFPRreport:<br>
- Report design can be setup by code <b>only</b>.<br>
- TFPReportData components must be linked to TFRReport by code<br>
- Can invoke the IDE integrated editor to design reports and
open/save them from/to file. But they are useless to TFPRreport.<br>
<br>
TFPJSONReport:<br>
- Report design can be setup by code.<br>
- Can load/save report designs from/to file/stream/json (discarding
design data if any).<br>
- TFPReportData components have to be linked to TFPJSONReport by
code (sample code is needed when the report is loaded from file)<br>
- Can invoke the IDE integrated editor to design reports that are
loaded/saved from/to the lfm only.<br>
- The IDE integrated editor cannot open a report designed by the
standalone designer, or save a file to be used by the standalone
designer. Note: Actually it can currently open a file, but possibly
with nasty side effects.<br>
