PrintPreview dialog size and position

rbuser

I'm trying to find out where report builder sets the print preview
form's size and position. I have one customer that says it's opening up
huge across both of their monitors. Do the various RB dialogs save their
size and position somewhere?

I'm using RB 7.04.

This can controlled via the Report.PreviewFormSettings propery or the
Report.OnPreviewFormCreate event.

going across multiple screens when other users (in the same office)
don't have the problem.

We have customers that use mutltiple screens, but we do not have that type
of setup to test here, so no way to test it.

If it works on some multi-screen setups and not on others, then perhaps they
are configured differently in the windows setup, or perhaps a bug in the
video driver.

There is a TForm.Position property, perhaps that can help.

ReportBuilder forms are all standard Delphi TForm descendants. The preview
form can be controlled using the same techniques you use for the other forms
in your application.

It is also possible to replace the default preview form by registering a new
one.
