Find dialog on Customer Report Preview (TppViewer)

Hi,
How to add/show Text Search/Find dialog on Custom Report Viewer (TppViewer)?

Hi Jayanto,

The TextSearchPreview is designed to work inside the previewer however it is possible to assign it to a separate TPanel for quick use. Something like the following:

  FTextSearchPreview := TppTextSearchPreview.Create(Self);
  FTextSearchPreview.Viewer := ppViewer1;
  FTextSearchPreview.TextSearchSettings := ppReport1.TextSearchSettings;

  FTextSearchPreview.CreateControls(pnlTextSearch);
  FTextSearchPreview.ArrangeControlsVertically;
  FTextSearchPreview.BeforePreview;

  ppReport1.PrintToDevices

Hello,
1. Request: Property Text =''; better -> TextHint:='Find Text'
2. In corrrect page positin on Find First/Next: if "ZoomSetting <> zs100Percent". How to fix this issue?

Thank you

1. The TextSearchSettings.DefaultText can be used to alter the initial text.

2. I am unable to recreate this on my machine. As I mentioned before, the TextSearchPreview is not designed to work outside the TppPreview so you are using it at your own risk here. If you would like to create a simple example and send it to me, I will see if there is something that can be done. Send the example to support@ in .zip format.

For a more robust solution, I suggest creating a custom Previewer that meets your specific needs, while still providing native TextSearch features built-in.
