Save archive to stream

rbuser

Howzit,

How do i print an archive directly to stream. Currently, i am:

Report.ArchiveFileName := lFileName;
Report.DeviceType := dtArchive;
Report.Print;

then reading the file to stream, but i would like to avoid creating any
files.

Regards,
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Starting with RB 9.01 each
file device descends from the TppStreamDevice. This allows you to define
the OutputStream property of each device and generate directly to that
stream. Take a look at Demo 109 in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports...
directory (dm0109.pas) for an example of how a PDF file can be exported
directly to a stream. The same concept applies for the Archive Device.
