[TotalPages] is 0 if user cancelled after Show()

breaker

I have this in the report's footer text:
footerText.Text = "[Page] / [TotalPages]";

This works normally fine, but if after the report.Show() the user cancels, this will be displayed as 1 / 0, 2 / 0 etc.

I found this in the manual that may indicate why:
"int Total
The number of total pages in a report. This parameter may be 0 when
preparing a report, because the number of total pages is unknown."

Is there still a way to have this number show correctly even if cancelled?

i tried to cancel single-pass report, it showed total pages only 35 (out of 100 pages), not zero as you said.

have you tried cancelling double-pass report?

It is 0 for me in both cases (it is Double-Pass normally).

I DON;T WORK WITH .NET
but i would expect you are cancelling before you are in the second pass.

mod this code
footerText.Text = "[Page] / [TotalPages]";
delphi e xample
if engine.finalpass then footerText.Text = "[Page] / [TotalPages]";
flse footertext.text ="nan"

Seems logical.

I decided to do this then, if anybody is interested.

Rpt.Prepare();
if (!Rpt.Aborted)
Rpt.ShowPrepared(true,this);

Thanks for the help.

i forgot to explain why, in my case, total pages didnt show zero, i used "Page [Page#] of [TotalPages#]", note: there is additional #, use built-in progress window and single-pass report

from documentation:

TotalPages#
Total number of pages in the report. If you join several prepared reports
into one package, this variable will return the number of pages in a
package. You don't need to use double pass to get the correct value.
This variable is actually a macro. It value is substituted when the
component is viewed in the preview window. That means you cannot use
it in an expression.

Page#
Current page number. If you join several prepared reports into one
package, this variable will return current page number in a package.
This variable is actually a macro. It value is substituted when the
component is viewed in the preview window. That means you cannot use
it in an expression.
