refreshing "interactive" reports

rbuser

How can I refresh report preview to display new value when user change some
label captions on my report?
I have created pass-through function (it's basically InputBox function)
which ask user to enter new value for label caption, but when user enter new
value, it's not shown on report preview?
(RB Ent 7.0)


P.S. What happened with

unreachable.

Sorry for my bad english...

You can call Report.Reset to cause the report to regenerate the report for
the new data when the page is rerequested. You can refresh the viewer's page
by calling Viewer.GoToPage(aPageCurrentNo); You can access the viewer (use
ppViewr) by calling TppViewer(ppReport1.PreviewForm.Viewer)

It may be easier to perform the change on the draw command so that you don't
have to change the layout and regerate all of the report pages before that
page. Just change the draw command on the current page and refresh the
viewer. I uploaded the tip you asked for.
