Understanding DBWPEvalEngine

  • Hello,

    I'm evaluating WPTools + WPReporter for delphi 6.
    I downloaded the latest demo available (V4.11d), and my purpose is to create an application to mail-merge fields from TDatasets.

    Looking into the well-made demos, I'm learning many useful stuff.
    I successfully reached my goal, using groups, programming the BeforeProcessGroup and AfterProcessGroup events to manage master/detail dataset and moving to next record, and the GetText event to manually substitute fields with values from Datasets.

    I'm now interested in using TDBWPEvalEngine component, but I didn't understand its power.
    I used the AddDataSet method to indicate which alias corresponds to my Dataset... and now? What can I do?

    Please could you give me some information on its usage?

    I looked into the help file, but it takes me to an overview of the standard TWPEvalEngine component. I noticed there are some properties and methods unique to TDBWPEvalEngine component, not documented.

    Thank you for your time, I think your component suite is one of the best I ever seen in Word Processing.
