DataMerge Component Overview
The DataMerge component allows you to merge a
list of variables into a text file or string of text. This capability is
valuable for adding features such as form letters to your application.
You can specify any starting and ending variable delimiters that you want. The
component will then search out those delimiters within the source text you
provide. What is between the delimiters is considered a variable. You can
provide the component with a list of variables and their values before
performing a merge. If the component does not find a variable in the pre-defined
list, it fires an OnLookup event that allows your
program to decide what to replace the variable with.
The component is a non-visible component that can be placed on your form or created dynamically at runtime.
