Did user modify report?

rbuser

After a call to TppDesigner.ShowModal, is there a way to determine if the
user has (or has not) made any changes at all to the report design?

Hi Svein,

check the property 'Report.Modified' in the designer's 'OnClose' event.



procedure TStandardMethodObject.DesignerClose(Sender: TObject;
var Action: TCloseAction);
begin
Action := caFree;

if Sender = nil then begin
Exit;
end;

if not (Sender is TppDesignerWindow) then begin
Exit;
end;

if TppDesignerWindow(Sender).CurrentReport = nil then begin
Exit;
end;

with (TppDesignerWindow(Sender).CurrentReport) do begin
if Modified then begin
Template.SaveToFile;
end;
end;

end;

It seems that Report.Modified is always true in the DesignerClose event -
even if the user did not change anything.
I even tried to set Report.Modified := false before launching the Designer,
and to save the report directly before launching the Designer....to no
avail.

Svein,

Unfortunately, it seems that you are right.
I think the reason is that the report doesn't use the default 'Units'
setting 'utInches'.
Looks like a bug in TppDesignerWindow.SyncUnits, not respecting the loading
state of the template.
I am sure, you will see here a comment from DM in short.
