Retrieve email recipients from archivereader

rbuser

Hi,

Is it possible to retrieve a list of recipients from the ppArchiveReader? By
this I mean:

User creates a report with group emails and prints it to several archives
due to the NewFile flag being true. Later, the ppArchiveReader is used to
load the archive file (which, if you open in a text editor, you can see
contains the recipients generated when the report was sent to archive). Is
it possible to retrieve this list of recipients at a later stage, for
example when the archive is previewed before printing it would be nice to be
able to get the list of intended recipients when the user clicks 'email'. I
can use a custom preview form to do the previewing, but there doesn't seem
to be a way to access the recipients as the
ppArchiveReader.emailsettings.recipients object is always empty.

Thanks,

Steve Branley

Hi Stephen,

An archive is essentially a binary representation of each TppPage object
generated by the report engine. With the addition of the EmailGroups
feature, the TppPage was given a EmailSettings property that is updated each
time a new file is created for a group.

The Archive Reader loads the binary information into a TppPage object then
sends each created page to the Screen Device to be processed. If you would
like to access the Page properties, you can try using the
ArchiveReader.OnReadPage property or try getting at the page using the
OnReceivePage event of the Screen Device
