Print To File Settings (and Wiki)

rbuser

Two questions -- the links on the wiki page do not seem to work for me (on
the :8080). any idea why not?

also, i would like to pre-populate the print to file options -- file name
and type -- without checking the Print To File checkbox. any time i set the
device type then the print to file is checked. how can i uncheck it?
thanks.

Hi John,

Some networks/firewalls do not permit the outgoing access of port 8080.
Perhaps contact your network administrator to see if this is the case.

There is currently no built-in way to access the file device type without
automatically printing to file. One option is to access the print dialog
directly using the Report.Printdialog property. You can access the actual
combobox that the file devices are displayed in and adjust it as needed.
This should be done inside the OnPrintdialogCreate event.

TppPrintDialog(ppReport1.PrintDialog).cbxPrintToFileTypes.ItemIndex := 3;

We are considering adding a feature to allow easier access to this aspect of
the print dialog for the next major release.
