MDI Report Explorer

rbuser

When I set the formstyle to fsMDIChild of a rsClientReportExplorer, I get
the following error when it attempts to open:

"Cannot make a visible window modal"


With the formstyle set to fsNormal the explorer opens normally.

Any luck with this one?

I researched this and determined the following:

1. I was able to create an MDI ClientReportExplorer example but it
required a modification to the source code. There is a
ClientReportExplorer.ModalForm boolean property that was accidentally
left out. We'll get this fixed for the next maintenance release.

2. You cannot use fsMDIChild - that form style will not work. Instead
you have to place the rsClientReportExplorer component on an MDIChild
window and write a small amount of code to configure the report explorer
to behave as a child window (i.e. behave as report explorer panel).
However one of the properties that needs to set is the ModaForm property
mentioned in 1 above.

If you have purchased RB Server and want to try to get this working now,
please let me know and I can send you the source units and the example
code. Otherwise you will need to wait until we do a maintenance release.

Your fix for this worked great.

Thank you!
