refresh preview dialg

rbuser

Hello.
I have added a check box to the printdialog to choise if some information
must be printed or not. I'd like to make my decision visible to the preview
either, but I can manage it.

I have tried to put this code on the check click event :

ppReport.PrintToDevices;

but the preview doesn't refresh.

thanks

When you are in the print dialog close event, you are still in the call to
Report.Print. The first thing to try is to make a page request on the screen
device. Here is an example that rerequests the page from a draw command
click event. Adapt this code to work from the print dialog close event.

You have to rerequest the page from the report engine. The demo show show to
do that, although from a different mechanism. The calls to rerequest the
page are going to be the same. Copy the RedrawThePage method of this example
and use it from your print dialog event. The print dialog knows what a
Report is, although you'll have to typecast the Report property call with
TppReport to call ResetFromPageNo and to get the viewer and screen device
objects in the print dialog. You should pass 1 as the page to reset from.
The rest of the RedrawThePage method should stay the same and it should
work.
