Confusing email dialog response

rbuser

D7, RB12.03

Using the standard email dialog and button in the preview screen. When I
click on the Email button, some reports are generating the RB Email dialog.
But on some other reports, it pulls up the outlook send mail dialog. I want
it to always pull up the RB dialog and I am quite confused as to why it
behaves differently on different reports.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

Everything dealing with the Email feature is controlled by the EmailSettings
property. See the TppEmailSettings topic in the RBuilder help for more
information.

PreviewInEmailClient := True; //This will show the Outlook (or default)
email window.

ShowEmailDialog := True; //This will show the built-in email dialog.

By default the PreviewInEmailClient property is set to True and the
ShowEmailDialog property is set to False. You will need to alter these in
order to get the effect you are after.

Is it possible these settings are saved with the report? I have
PreviewInEmailClient set to false and ShowEmailDialog set to true. But,
some reports seem to ignore this.

Hi Bob,

Yes, if you are loading templates, this information is saved. You will need
to use the template event OnLoadEnd to alter the properties after the
template has been loaded.

I followed the steps in the wiki article to create my on OnLoadEnd event. I
placed the following in the procedure but when I run the report I get an
access violation. Any suggestions?

TppPrintPreview(ppReport1.PreviewForm).EmailButton.Visible := False;

Hi Bob,

Are you perhaps mixing up thread questions?

You cannot alter the PreviewForm inside the OnLoadEnd event because the
PreviewForm has not yet been created. This is why you are getting an AV.
In your previous post on this thread, you mentioned that you simply wanted
to change some of the EmailSettings properties. The OnLoadEnd event is the
correct place to do this.

You are right and I will get on the correct thread. Sorry.
