RB 9 - BeforeAutoSearchDialogCreate fires different to RB 7

rbuser

Using RB 7 I coded the BeforeAutosearchDialogCreate like this:

...
Report.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression:=DateToStr(Now);
...

I used to Preview the Report and then hitting print. If the user enterd
another date in the AutoSearchFields Previw and Print gave the same reprot.

With RB 9 the events fires on Print too, thus resetting the value the user
entered.

Is this WAD? Am I missing some documentation? What event must I move my code
to? Why was this changed - I have to rework a lot a reports now.

1. It was not our intent to change this behavior. Please send a request to
support@digital-metaphors.com and we can send you a patch for RB 9.01.

2. A work around without applying a patch, would be to add a check in your
event-handler

if Report.ShowAutoSearchDialog then
Report.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression:=DateToStr(Now);

Nard,

thanks for the answer. In the meantime I redid the reports and added a
check, similar to what you proposed.

BTW: Why not release the patches either on the DM homepage or in the NGs on
a regular basis?
