Disable Text-Export

rbuser

Hi

Working with RB9.02 and Waler.

Is there a way to disable the export types "Report Emulation Text File" and
"Text File". I only want to display some Waler-Exporttypes.

Thanks and best regards
Robert

Hi Robert,

You can register and unregister each output device as you need before the
report prints using the ppRegisterDevice and ppUnRegisterDevice methods.
For example...

uses
ppDevice,
ppFilDev;

...

begin
ppUnRegisterDevice(TppTextFileDevice);
ppUnRegisterDevice(TppReportTextFileDevice);
ppUnRegisterDevice(TppArchiveDevice);
end;

In a simialr vein - is it possible to disable printing i.e. only allow the
user to preview the report on screen ?

Hi Steve,

Take a look at the following example. It shows how to easily replace the
preview dialog with one that has the print button hidden.
