TBasedxReportLink.Preview(Boolean) Method

Invokes the Print Preview dialog.

Declaration

procedure Preview(Modal: Boolean = True); virtual;

Parameters

Name Type
Modal Boolean

Remarks

Call this procedure to invoke the Print Preview dialog as a modal or non-modal form depending on the value passed as the Modal parameter.

If a component printer contains the report link, the Preview procedure sets it as the current link and calls the component printer’s Preview procedure passing the Modal value as a parameter. If the ComponentPrinter property is set to nil (i.e., the report link does not belong to a component printer), calling the Preview procedure has no effect.

The Preview procedure is called internally by the PageSetup function if an end-user clicks the “Print Preview…” button on the Page Setup dialog.

TouchScreen Support: End-users can zoom the report displayed in the Print Preview window using the zoom gesture.
