Report screenshots

rbuser

Hello,
I want to save a screenshot(.bmp, .jpg...) of a report in my database. The
problem is that I don't know how to launch my report and generate an event
( OnReportPreview or something like that ) to launch my screenshot procedure.

I want to do something like that :

procedure OnReportPosted(Sender:TObject);
begin
screenshot();
end;

Report Builder version : 9.01
Delphi version : 7
OS : Widows XP Pro

Is someone can tell me how can I do that ?
Is someone can help me ?
Thanks a lot

Have you considered printing an archive report and saving that in your
database, then using the archive viewer to display it?

First, thanks for your answer.
I never heard about any archive viewer in report builder.
Do you talk about one seen before printing a report or is a module
Archive viewer exist that I could launch from my program?

I want to save the screenshot in my database (that already contains the
template of my report). Your solution seem good but

I don't know the functions to launch the archive viewer from DELPHI.

After that, I know how to take a screenshot of a zone of my screen.

Great thanks.

A report archive is a "snapshot" of a generated report that can be viewed at
any time using the TppArchinveReader object (located on the component
palette in Delphi. Once you generate a report, you can save it to an
archive file or stream it to a database blob field to be viewed at a later
time. For more information on archives, take a look at the
TppArchiveReader, TppDBArchiveReader, topics in the ReportBuilder help and
see the archive demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
directory.
