Invokes the print preview in report explorer mode.

#Declaration

Delphi
procedure Explore;

#Remarks

This method has no effect if the explorer is not assigned via the component printer’s Explorer property. In report explorer mode, end-users can display the report explorer panel by clicking the corresponding toolbar button.

In this panel, end-users can do the following:

  • Browse reports displayed within the explorer tree. You can specify which reports should be displayed in the tree via the explorer’s FilterLink property.

  • Load report contents into the print preview by double-clicking explorer items.

  • Unload report contents via the corresponding context menu item or toolbar button.

By default, the print preview window displays the component printer’s current report link. After a report’s content has been unloaded, the print preview displays the content of the report link specified by the ExplorerStubLink property.
