saving printer settings

rbuser

Hi,

My clients use standard RTM-files ( which my application loads from file) ,
but they would like to be able to save their printersettings.
How can I do that ?

Is there a method "saveprintersettings" saving the selected printer and bin
in the user RTM-file at runtime ?
Or can I save the settings in separate files ?

RB 11 introduces features to support saving printer specific settings with
the .rtm or to a separate file or stream.

// display printer's built-in dialog to allow use to configure printer
specific features
// this can be invoked from the Designer's object inspector by
// selecting the Report.PrinterSetup property and expanding it

myReport.PrinterSetup.EditDeviceSettings;

// boolean property to save the DeviceSettings with the report definition
// automatically set to true, when the dialog above is used

myReport.PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSettings := True;


// save and load DeviceSettings file

myReport.PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSetingsToFile(aFileName);
myReport.PrinterSetup.LoadDeviceSettingsFromFile(aFileName);

// save and load DeviceSettings stream

myReport.PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSettingsFromStream(aStream);
myReport.PrinterSetup.LoadDeviceSettingsFromStream(aStream);

Is there also a way for the blob storing way?

Thanks, Olaf

Oh, it was a question without thinking before.
I canel the question.

Thanks, Olaf
