PreviewFormSettings versus PreviewForm

rbuser

Hi

Can anyone tell me the difference between then properties
PreviewFormSettings and PreviewForm of the tppReport-component?

Definitions from the RBuilder.hlp appear below. The Report.PreviewForm is
nil most of the time, because the PreviewForm is created/free as needed
(i.e. when a report is printed to preview). The Report.PreviewFormSettings
are automatically applied to the Report.PreviewForm each time it is created.




1. Report.PreviewFormSettings

The preview form settings control the preview form window state, zoom
setting, and zoom percentage. These settings can be overridden at runtime by
configuring the preview form settings on the viewer object in the
OnPreviewFormCreate event.

2. Report.PreviewForm

Run-time and read-only. When a report is being previewed with the built-in
preview form, this property contains a reference to the preview form. This
property is most often accessed in the OnAssignPreviewFormSettings event in
order to set various preview form properties.

I should add that the following events are applicable:

Report.OnPreviewFormCreate
Report.OnAssignPreviewFormSettings
Report.OnPreviewFormClose
