Custom Print Dialog

rbuser

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom print dialog and am having trouble
following the posted instructions. I am running Delphi5 with RB 6.03.

I located the pppDlg.pas file in the ...\source folder. I opened and
saved it with a different name (myPrintDialog) under my project folder.
I added the new unit to my project but when I click the printer icon on
the report preview screen I still get the original printer dialog. What
am I missing?

Thanks,

Dexter

Hi Dexter,

Be sure you are registering your new print dialog in the initialization
section of the file.

example:

ppRegisterForm(TppCustomPrintDialog, TmyPrintDialog);

Below is a link to an example of this...

Hi Nico,

Thanks for your help.

I have at the bottom of MyPrintDialog.pas
initialization
ppRegisterForm(TppCustomPrintDialog, TmyPrintDialog);

finalization
ppUnRegisterFrom(TppcustomPrintDialog);

Is this where is should be located?

Thanks,

Dexter
