Getting Text Searching working

rbuser

How can I implement Text Searching from a Custom Print Preview form? Delphi
2009 / ReportBuilder 11.03.

I've looked at what is in the older tutorials, but it doesn't seem to work
for 2009 at least -?.

I recommend creating a 'custom preview plug-in' rather than a custom preview
form.

A preview plug-in descends from TppPreview. It defines and manages all the
UI elements require for preview: Viewer, Toolbar, Outline, Text Search
controls etc.

Once you register your custom preview plug-in, it will automatically be used
by RB's Preview Dialog and the Preview tab of the Report Designer.

The source code the ancestor is located in ppPreview.pas, the code is
heavily commented.

Here is a simple example...
