Email dialog caption

edited February 2011 in General
Hello

I have been trying unsuccessfully to change the caption of the default
RBuilder email dialog and just saw Nico's response to Bob Tucker's post on
2/16/2011 where he states that the email dialog properties are not currently
exposed.

I have tried at development time to modify the ppEmailDlg unit by placing
Caption := 'my text'; in the OnShow event, but I have had no luck.

Based on the above, I have two questions.

1st question
How can I modify the existing ppEmailDlg unit to create the caption that I
want?

2nd question
Instead of modifying the existing ppEmailDlg, is there a mechanism in code
to simply replace the call to ppEmailDlg with a CustomEmailDialog unit to
that I can use either the original or the customized unit based on a call I
make in code at run time?

Currently, I a) access the PreviewForrmEmailClick event to the
ppPrintPreview (see directly below) and

procedure TRBReportRequestLetter2.ppReport1PreviewFormCreate(Sender:
TObject);
begin
TppPrintPreview(ppReport1.PreviewForm).EmailButton.OnClick :=
PreviewFormEmailClickEvent;

with ppReport1.PreviewForm do
begin
Height := 600;
Width := 800;
end;
end;

then b) access the Report.EmailSettings via the TppEmail object's
EmailSetting property (see code below)

procedure TRBReportRequestLetter2.PreviewFormEmailClickEvent(Sender:
TObject);
var
tempEmail: TppEmail;
begin
......... etc
tempEmail := TppEmail(ppReport1.Email);
......... etc
end;


TIA

John
