Hi,
Is it possible to export web brower content to something else than PDF file,
i.e. something like RTF for example ?
Thanks,

Tech Tip: Adding WebTier Export Formats
---------------------------------------------------

Question:
---------

The web report viewer included with RB Server Edition includes support for
exporting reports to PDF format.

Is it possible to add export formats to the web report viewer?


Solution:
---------

Yes, the web report viewer can be extended to support additional formats.
There is an example of adding an Excel export format that is installed with
RB Server Edition. The example is installed to ..\RBServer\Demos\Web
Tier\Custom Viewer and contains a ReadMe.doc and commented code.

Does anyone know if William Yu's Grid Pack will work with RB Server and be
able to output in PDF format?
Since Grid Pack only works with Waler PDF component I need to know.

I asked Mr Yu, but he doesn't have Server available to him.

I will be probably using RB Server, Grid Pack and Walers PDF component, if
they will work properly together.

Thanks in advance,
Alan Sawyer

If Grid pack and Waler work together in a standard RB application then they
should work properly in an RB server application as well. Waler definitely
works in a server application. And the Grid pack should work properly as
well, unless it has some unknown issue with
thread-safety. As long as Grid Pack does not rely upon sharing of any global
singleton type objects, it should be thread-safe.

For future reference, create a new thread for new question.
