PreviewFormSettings.PageIncrement no longer working

JonRobertson

Any idea why PreviewFormSettings.PageIncrement would stop having any effect? It used to work but now my preview always generates the entire report. It doesn't even stop at the default of 100. (I have PageIncrement set to 20.)

I thought it was the custom preview plugin that I recently added. But if I remove the registration, ReportBuilder uses the default previewer and PageIncrement still has no effect.

Thanks

Hi John,

The PageIncrement is working in my testing. I created a new Delphi project and added a Report. I sent AutoStop False, PageLimit 100 and PageIncrement 20. I added a SystemVariable with PageNoDescr. It works. I then tested with PassSetting psTwoPass and PageSetDescr. This causes the engine to make a first pass - so it may appear it is generating pages, but it is calculating pagination for the pages. If you look at the Thumbnails there are 20.

Thank you, Nard, that is what I'm seeing. The reports are now two pass because I wanted a page count (ie 1 of 216). The preview defaults to outline, which includes all pages. But there were only 20 thumbnails.
