ProgressBar

rbuser

I have to use for several reasons for all of my reports the method

FReport.PrintToDevices;
MyPreview.ShowModal;

and is working as expected.

But from time to time my reports are very long (sometimes more than 100
pages) and this takes time for generation. A hourglass cursor is not
enough. I would like to place a progressbar onto my Statusbar. But therefore
I have to know the absolutepagecount property at the beginning of the
PrintToDevices process in order to calulate the steps for instance in the
StatusChange event. But I suppose I get the absolutepagecount property far
too late.

Am I right or is there a solution I oversaw?

Thanks in advance

Hi Martin,

Below is a link to an example of loading a report using a progress bar.
This should get you on the right track. Hope it helps.

Hi Nico,

many thanks for the very fast response.

But you set in this example

FPageCount := 54 as the absolutepagecount and this value is correct.

But in my cases I don't know FPageCount.

Cheers
