Still using RP 2. I'm reusing the "print export" button on the report pro
preview window for emailing of reports. How can I call the "print" method
that shows the user the windows print manager dialog? RpReport:Print()
sends it directly to the printer without showing the windows print manager.

Thanks,
Gary

IIRC you need to subclass the dialog (preview window) and provide your own
print method to call the windows print dialog with the appropriate
parameters.

The RP print() method is embedded/hard coded in the runtime where you cannot
change it.

I think of you use Setprinter() to a non-existant printer it should
pop-up from memory!

If I well undestand the question you have two ways to do that :

* you can call the ShowPrintDLG() of the RpReport class.

* you can also set the PromptForPrintDlg property of the PrinterDevice
object of the RpReport class to TRUE.

Gary,

I'm with Steve here - you can simply override the classes with your own
methods and not show the dialog.
