rbuser

Hello

I'm using Report Builder 12 and Delphi 2010

i Have a problem when generate PDF from Report Explorer.

Step :

- an empty report
- add a ShowMessage('HERE') on globalOnCreate()

If I run the code call Preview / Print / Design the message is showed, All
OK.

but if i want genere a PDF , showmessage is not called.


then... globalOnCreate is not called when i want a PDF OutPut.

and all my reports go in crash.....

RB 11 CODE :

FReportExplorer.LoadReport(FListView.ItemName, FListView.FolderId);

lPDFDevice := TppPDFDevice.Create(nil);
lPDFDevice.FileName := SaveDialog.FileName;

lPDFDevice.Publisher := FReportExplorer.Designer.Report.Publisher;

FReportExplorer.Designer.Report.PrintToDevices;

Hi Michela,

1. When making a call to PrintToDevices, you need to first call
InitializeParameters if you would like the OnGlobalCreate to fire as it does
when calling Print.

if ppReport1.InitializeParameters then
ppReport1.PrintToDevices;

2. Take a look at the following articles on loading and exporting reports
directly from the report explorer.
