Change print name and output bin

rbuser

RB Pro 7.04 and Delphi 7 Enterprise

I have saved a report to an archive file and now i need to print with
archive reader.
After the print dialog show, i need to know the name of the printer selected
and set the output bin based on printer name and document name.
I have explored PrinterSetup.PrinterName and PrinterSetup.BinNames of the
ArchiveReader object in the OnInitializePrinterSetup event, bat its not
reflect the printer selected.

How can i know the name of then printer selected and bin associated?

Tanks,
Angelo.

Tech Tip: Detect PrinterSetup Changes

-------------------------------------


Q:

I want to check the printer setup after the user has closed the print
dialog, but the Report.PrinterSetup hasn't changed? Where is the
PrinterSetup that the user just entered?


A:

The PrinterSetup object is assigned from the Report to the TppPrinter object
of the PrintDialog. When then user changes the PrinterSetup, it is not
reflected in the Report's PrinterSetup, unless Report.SavePrinterSetup is
true. When SavePrinterSetup is true, then the changes the user makes to the
PrinterSetup will be reflected the next time the user prints from the
current instance of the Report. To access the PrinterSetup the user has
entered, perform the following in the Report.OnPrintDialogClose event.

uses
ppPrintr;

procedure TForm1.ppReport1PrintDialogClose(Sender: TObject);
begin
TppPrinter(ppReport1.PrintDialog.Printer).PrinterSetup;
end;
