Multiple Copies with Duplex

rbuser

EUR D6 rb7.02

An earlier thread had pointed me to
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/AutoDuplexCopies.zip as an
example of how to manually generate multiple copies for the case where
duplexing is turned on so that reports with odd number of pages
generate with the first pages always starting on a new page.

I am having trouble getting it to work in my situation. In EUR I have
registered my own TppCustomPrintDialog. In it I provide the duplex
property and if there are multiple copies I want to generate them
separately internal to my custom print dialog and not back in
TppProducer.PrintToPrinter who instantiated my print dialog.

So, do the printing and then set modalresult to mrCancel.

However I believe PrintToDevices calls FinalizeReport which destroys
the print dialog?

Would you have an example of providing custom printing from within an
overridden TppCustomPrintDialog that is called as part of the EUR
process?

Many thanks,

I think you need to try a different approach.

Rather than calling Report.Print you probably need to be using
Report.PrintToDevices. This enables you to manage the entire process in
custom code. For a simple example check out dm0123 in
RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr.

To implement this solution in EUR, you will need to implement a custom
report explorer form and a custom previewer. That way you can avoid calling
Report.Print and call your own custom print utility.
