Show Print To File Setup

rbuser

Hi guys

RB Enterprise 11.08, Delphi 6.

Is there a way to show the user the "Print To File Setup" dialog at run
time, that we can access at design time from the File menu? I'd like to
allow the users to choose which fields they want to export to a text file at
run time.

Thanks,
Jason.

Hi Jason,

This should be possible. Take a look at the
TppDesignDialogController.ShowPrintToFileSetupDialog routine inside the
ppDesignDialogController.pas file for how the dialog is shown in
ReportBuilder.

You would need to manually create the form (TppPrintToFileSetupDialog
located in the ppTxDlg.pas file) and then assign its Report and
CurrentReport properties (CurrentReport represents the current report or
subreport being viewed). Then when you show the dialog, the available
text components should be listed.
