How to the File Type Selected when Printing To a File

rbuser

Hi

Using RAP I need to be able to identify the file Type a user has selected
(i.e. Text File, BitMap File, XLS Data File etc..) on the Print Dialog when
using the 'Print To File' option. Is this possible from within RAP ? If so,
which event should I use and how can I obtain this information.

Thanks

Try using the Report.OnFileDeviceCreate event.

Example:

begin
if (Report.FileDevice is TppPDFDevice) then
ShowMessage('PDF');

{ or this }

ShowMessage(Report.FileDevice.ClassName);

end;

There is also a Repot.FileDevice.DeviceName property that is public.
However, it is not currently defined to the RAP RTTI. You could however
extend RAP with a custom function or custom RTTI to gain access to it.
