How to save the report in the designer at runtime?

rbuser

Hi,

I want to save the report before the user closes the designer. How can I do
this?

Hi Sven,

If you have the Report.SaveAsTemplate property set to True, the user will be
asked if they would like to save if they have changed the report and are
closing the designer. Is this the functionality you are after?

Yes thats what I need but it does not work That's the code if I start the
designer:

Report.SaveAsTemplate := True;
Report.Template.FileName := ReportPath;
Report.Template.LoadFromFile;
Report.Language := GetLanguage;
FReportDesigner := ReportDesigner; //Singelton Object
FReportDesigner.OnShow := DesignerShow;
FReportDesigner.OnSelectionChanged := DesignerSelectionChanged;
FReportDesigner.OnClose := DesignerClose;
FReportDesigner.Report := Report;
FReportDesigner.Show;
end;


After changing and closing the report no dialog opens.

Ok, it workes. I have to do

FReportDesigner.Report.SaveAsTemplate := True;

Thanks!

Try setting SaveAsTemplate to True, after you load the .rtm.

When you load a report definition (.rtm), all of the published properties of
the TppReport are set to the values that were saved to the .rtm.

You can override these values either by using the Report.Template.OnEndEvent
or by setting the after you cann LoadFromFile.
