Preview Form Icon

How do you replace it with your application's Icon?

thanks

Hi,

Once the preview form has been created you can access the
Report.PreviewForm.Icon property to change the icon of the preview form.
The best place to do this is in the Report.OnPreviewFormCreate event.

using

rbMyReport.PreviewForm.Icon.LoadFromFile('C:\MyIcon.ico');

looks for the icon when you preview the report. Is there a way to
store the icon as part of the program .exe (so it does not look for
the icon on the c: drive)?

thanking you

Hi Rob,

You can also use the published property TppReport.Icon property to load an
icon file and store it in the report's .dfm file essentially embedding the
.ico file inside the application.

Hi Nico,


where do I run this from? its a bit over my head. Do you have an
example.

Hi Rob,

Sorry if I was confusing. If you place a TppReport object on a form and
select it, you can access the Icon property from the Delphi Object
Inspector. From there you can load an .ico file which will then be embedded
into your .dfm or Form file so there will be no need to load the icon image
from file again. Hope this helps.
