Multiple Page Views

rbuser

Hello, My current version of Report Builder (6.03) does not support
this from what I can tell.

Does Report Builder support Multiple page views?

IE: show two full pages on the screen like in the Windows
Word program?

I have a customer who has requested this.

TIA

If you look at the demos program you'll notice a "One page preview" button.
Clicking on that button changes the caption to "Two page preview". Just
follow the code tied to that button and you can do what you want.

rbuser

thank you I will check into that

rbuser

do you know which demo?
there are 7 demo folders.

TIA

Hi Joey,

Preston meant to take a look at the actual Demo application. There is a
button at the bottom right that allows you to switch between a two page
preview and a one page. You can see the difference by clicking the go
button. See the dmPrvw.pas file for the source to this part of the demo.

ok I looked at the code, all is very confusing

i understand i need 2 viewers, but how do i tell the
TppReport to use the TppViewer of my choice

then demo references a bunch of lforms and whole bunch of stuff
do I need to create a form similar to dmUtil and dmPrvw?

this is what we use right now

lets use my current project

I have a TppReport called rbQuote with the appropiate
TppDBPipeline and a TppViewer with the default name

procedure TQR.rbQuotePreviewFormCreate (Sender: TObject);
begin
rbQuote.PreviewForm.WindowState := wsMaximized;
TppView(rbQuote.PreviewFrom.Viewer).ZoomSetting := zsPageWidth;
end;

TIA

Nevermind, I figured it out this morning

Thanks All

Got another problem

I got the code working

now I have problem

when i run the report the first time my final totals are all doubled.

i rerun the same report the totals are correct.

every report after that is correct

shut program down and restart it
the first run of the report gets doubled final totals.

any ideas?

TIA

It only happens on the view.

it prints to printer properly on the first try

rbuser

if nothing else works

how can i tell the program to abort a print request
after that they click the print button on the default viewer?

say rbquote.print;

the default viewer shows up

when they click the icon with the printer on it
how do I tell the program to abort printing based on
some passed in parameter?

TIA

Hi Joey,

You can use the Report.BeforePrint event to cancel the report if you want.
You will need to check the device to be sure you are cancelling a report
that is being sent to the printer.

got an example of that?

rbuser

if Default ppviewer is already up

when the print button is clicked, how can
i prevent the printer selection dialog box from
showing?

TIA

Set the TppReport.ShowPrintDialog property to False.
