Save printerSetup

rbuser

Hello,

I know I can save the printer specific settings using

ppReport1.PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSettingsToFile
and
ppReport1.PrinterSetup.LoadDeviceSettingsFromFile.


But I'm wondering how to save the default printer settings from the
ppReport1.Printer.ShowSetupDialog?


Thank you very much,

Report.PrinterSetup.EditDeviceSettings can be used to display the printer's
built-in Properties dialog and then call SaveDeviceSettings afterwords to
save to file or stream.

Hi,

yes I know - but I don't want to save the save the settings of the
printer's built-in Properties dialog, I want to save the settings of the
standard printer dialog (which is shown when you call
ppReport1.Printer.ShowSetupDialog).

Thanks!

Try creating a TppPrinter object and using it as shown below.

var
lPrinter: TppPrinter;
begin

lPrinter := TppPrinter.Create;

try

lPrinter.PrinterSetup := ppReport1.PrinterSetup;

lPrinter.ShowSetupDialog;

ppReport1.PrinterSetup := lPrinter.PrinterSetup;

ppReport1.PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSettingsToStream(myStream);

finally

lPrinter.Free;

end;
