Export without print dialog

Hello,

If I use AllowPrintToFile=true with ReportBuilder 20, I have this dialog box :



But is it possible to have only "export" dialog, and not the "print" dialog ?

Hi Arnaud,

There is currently no way to automatically hide the print dialog when printing. I will add this to our list of possible enhancements for a future release.

Currently you can access the OutputDialog property from the Report.BeforePrint event to hide the navigation buttons and resize the control. Below is the code I used which seemed to give a suitable result.

uses
  ppOutputDlg;

procedure TForm1.ppReport1PrintDialogCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TppOutputDialog(ppReport1.OutputDialog).pnlBackground.Visible := False;
  TppOutputDialog(ppReport1.OutputDialog).pnlBackground.Width := 0;

end;

Hi Nico,

Thank you.
I just add
TppOutputDialog(ppReport1.OutputDialog).OutputType := rotExport;
to be sure to select the Export dialog.
