Adding a SpeedButton in the Preview Form

rbuser

Hi,

I'm using the PreviewFormCreate event to add a simple button to the toolbar
in the previewform. It's not really a toolbarbutton , it's a TButton layed
on the form - a fake. Now I want to add a SpeedButton. I tryed the same way
but no button is visible. All other components (edits, combos ...) are
working. What's wrong?
My source:

var
btn: TSpeedButton;
begin
btn := TSpeedButton.Create(Report.PreviewForm);
btn.Parent := Report.PreviewForm;
btn.Caption := 'Export';
btn.Top := 2;
btn.Left := 28;
btn.Height := 24;
btn.OnClick := ExportBtnClick;
end;

Hi Sven,

Take a look at the TppPreview.CreateToolbarControls procedure inside the
ppPreview.pas file to see how the speed buttons are created in the current
preview plugin. Af first glance, it looks as though you need to add the
button to the toolbar, not the actual preview form. You may also need to
reposition the other buttons and items on the toolbar so your new button
will fit.
