Previewer backgroud color

rbuser

Is it possible to change the color of the background area around the
page in the previewer?

Hi Bill,

Try placing a filled rectangle with ParentWidth and ParentHeight set to true
in the PageStyle band of the report. Then resize the PageStyle to be the
same size of each page in the report. This will then always print in the
background of your report.

I am sorry but I think that either I wasn't clear or you misunderstood
the question.

I am not looking to change the color on the page in the preview, I am
looking to change the background color of the previewer itself.

The background color is clGrey and I would like to change it to
another color.

Hi Bill,

Though it should be.... this is not a feature available in ReportBuilder. I
will mark it down to be added to the next release. For now, if you
absolutely need this feature, you can take a look at the
TppScreenDevice.RenderFullBlankPage method in the ppViewr.pas file.
Changing the FCanvas.Brush.Color will give you the effect you desire (though
it will have to be hard coded).

Thanks! I was hoping for another way, but this will work...

Excellent. If you can also arrange to have the margins in the previewer
controllable, I would be much obliged.

I would like to expand "PageWidth" to the full size of the viewer, with no
border.
