Switching stationary on/off

rbuser

Hello,

Using RB 10.04, report saved as .rtm file, we have the following
situation:

I want to send a quotation as .PDF to a customer. The .pdf is created by
using the internal email button in the RB preview window. As background
of the report a .jpg of the scanned stationary of the company is used so the
.PDF looks better and the customer has the company details when printing
the .PDF at their home.

This is done using the pagestyle section which works fine.

However, this currently also means that when printing the quotation from the
RB preview window the stationary gets printed as well. This is annoying
because internally the paper in the printer already has all details on it.

How can I switch the stationary on/off using RAP?

Kind regards,

Jerri

Hi Jerri,

Just to be clear, this issue has been resolved, correct? My suggestion
about posting to the RAP newsgroup was for future reference .

if Report.PrinterDevice <> nil then
Report.PageStyle.Visible := False
else
Report.PageStyle.Visible := True;

Hi Nico,

No it's not. The code below does not give the appropriate result.
Stationary is shown in .pdf which is good and also printing the .pdf
gives a good result with stationary printed.

Unfortunately when sending to the printer locally the stationary is also
printed which we don not want. So i kinda hope you have another
suggestion.

Kind regards,

Jerri

Hi Jerri,

I see now. The event is causing the issue. Try using a different event
such as the OnPrintDialogClose or OnStartPage.

Hi Nico,

I tried both events, result is the same. Stationary is still printed
when printing directly to printer.

Had to change the code a bit to make it compile :

if Report.PrinterDevice <> nil then
PageStyle.Visible := False
else
PageStyle.Visible := True;

Kind regards,

Jerri

I'm going to need more information on the steps you are taking. In my
tests, the code below works as expected in both events.
