refresh preview data

edited July 2006 in Server
While previewing a report, I need to refresh it according to a new set of
parameters. But without closing the preview form.

So far I've been trying to reset the engine and call InitializeParameters.
It's not enough.

Can you give me a hint?


Kind regards,
Costi Stan

    - There is a public Viewer.RegenerateReport method that is used to
    regenerate a report when the autosearch dialog is displayed from the
    previewer, try calling Viewer.RegenerateReport

    - Are you using a ClientReport component to preview?

    - Can you provide more details about what you are trying to accomplish?

    I'm having a similar problem with reports viewed in a web browser having to
    be refreshed after autosearch options are changed from the toolbar. I'm
    using RB Server 7.04. My reports are on forms/datamodules. Is this public
    Viewer method available in this scenario? Would I execute the method in the
    TppReport.OnGetAutoSearchValues event?
    I've been unable to find any information in the RB Server help file.

    - in the future please use a new thread, rather than posting on a old one

    - the response I posted to this thread, assumed he was using a ClientReport
    to preview the report from thin client app, not a web app.

    - In a standard setup, the report should be refreshed when new auto search
    parameters are entered. This is true for a ClientReport and a WebTier
    report.

    - There are example of this installed with RB Server, try running those and
    test whether they work properly. Then compare to your own solution.
