Enabling the thumbnail view in a custom preview form

edited December 2013 in General
Hello,

I am using tppViewer on a custom preview form.

Is there a way to enable/implement the Thumbnail view in it?

Thank you.

    Hi Dimitar,

    The Report Outline now consists of three parts (all residing on the
    AccessoryToolbar panel)

    TppOutlineNotebook: Tabset containing pages for the OutlineViewer and
    ThumbnailViewer.

    TppOutlineViewer: Outline (TTreeView)

    TppThumbnailViewer: Thumbnails (TScrollBox)

    You can add any or all of these to your custom preview assuming you have
    a container (panel, etc.).

    My suggestion is to start by looking at the existing preview for how it
    currently functions, then using this information add it to your custom
    preview. Below are the files to look at.

    ppPreview.pas
    ppOutlineNotebook.pas
    ppOutlineViewer.pas
    ppThumbnailViewer.pas

    Best Regards,

    Hi Alessandra,

    Thanks for the feedback, we will consider including thumbnail support
    with SinglePageOnly mode for a future release of ReportBuilder.
