Screen Output + No Border

rbuser

Hello,

i wanna output a report to the screen without this dark grey border. I use
the TppViewer component in fullscreen output, and i changed the paper format
to the screen size. How can i hide this dark grey border? I only wanna show
the report like a PowerPoint presentation.

Best regards,

Joscha Ihl

This isn't supposed to be configurable. A TppScreenDevice object is created
in the TppViewer. One option is to run a modified version of TppScreenDevice
in order to support this at runtime. You could also create your own
TmyViewer class which creates a TmyScreenDevice that is an altered version
of our classes that you copied and modified. This way you don't have to
modify our source. You should be able to create new a package and register
you new viewer component into Delphi as well. In order to modify the source,
search ppViewr.pas for 'DeadArea' and that should take you into the code
where this is done. What you need to do is change liDeadArea to be zero and
set the Report.PreviewFormSettings.ZoomSetting to zsPageWidth. That should
cause TppScreenDevice.CalculateScaledPageSize to work how you would like it
to.
