RB 10.09/D6 custom print progress form

rbuser

I'd like using a custom "print in progress" form, with a progressbar inside,
instead of the standard modal cancel dialog with "printing page 1 of 100"
etc.
What should i do in order to do that?

Thanks!

Hi Avalon,

It is possible to replace any dialog in ReportBuilder with your own custom
one. In this case, you will want to replace the cancel dialog located in
the ppCDlg.pas file.

thank you very much! i've built the new dialog with zero effort.

In order to manage a taskbar, though, it would be much useful if you'd add
sine public "percent" or "pageno" and "pagetotal" properties.

Hi Avalon,

The TppForm class, which is the ancestor to the TppCancelDialog contains the
public property "Report". This can be typecast to a TppReport object which
then gives you access to the AbsolutePageNo, AbsolutePageCount, etc.
properties.
