Making the Designer show progress when previewing a report

rbuser

Hi,

I call the "Designer.ShowModal;" to start the previewing of my reports,
but thsi do not show the any progression while generating the report so
sometimes my users just sit wondering if anything is happening as it might
take some time before the results are showing because the designer is not
showing until it's able to display the first page.

I would like the viewer to display itself before the report starts
geneterating because then the viewer will show the progression and the
user will not have to sit wondering if anything is happening.

How would you recomend handling this to achieve the above?

Hi Jens,

Unfortunately there is no way to show the designer window before
ReportBuilder tries to access the dataset. To speed up the loading process,
set your dataset's Active property to False and set the TppDesigner.ShowData
property to False. This will keep the designer from obtaining the field
names and values before showing the form.
