RBuilder.ini for preview form

rbuser

v16.03 but probably applies to v17

I have my Designer set to store its settings in the registry as
customers have had problems with the ini file option in the past. So I
was surprised to have an error reported yesterday regarding the
RBuilder.ini. Checking out the call stack it seems that there is no
option to have the TppThemeManager save its preferences to anything
other than an INI file. Is the an oversight or WAD?

thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

Most likely a timing issue. TppDesigner will configure the ini storage the
first time it is used (or at least loads). If the report previews before
that happens, then the default ini storage is used.

One solution is to load the Designer prior to printing. Another solution is
to implement code to configure ini storage, here is an example:

uses
ppIniStorage;


// configure ini storage to use registry
TppIniStoragePlugin.SetClass(TppRegistry);

ppReport1.Print;





Best regards,

Thanks for reply,

Most users of our app never get to use the Designer: their experience of
reporting is File | Print | Menu of Reports for a Specific Form. And I
wasn't aware that storage code was in play when just previewing reports.
So maybe could just call TppIniStoragePlugin.SetClass(TppRegistry) in
the Project file and just be done with it. Perhaps there should be a
Wiki article on this?
