Change Bin on runtime

stuwi

...nobody can help me ??? I try again!!! ....

In FR 2.45 I changed the bins with:

Prn.SetPrinterInfo(....)

In FR 3.08 it seems to be something like:

frxPrinters.printer.SetPrintParams(...)

But in the SetPrintParams-function it checks a FBin-Variable if it's -1 - if not then sets FBin and not the given ABin...

 if FBin <> -1 then
    ABin := FBin;
  FMode.dmDefaultSource := ABin;

why and how to set it right? ... To check, I made the Bin-Property writeable and set it to -1 to be able to use SetPrintParams... I worked almost... It sets the bin in the dialog as a preset, but not if I print direct!

Is it necessery to set it for every page... I found a writable bin-property there?

Thanks for suggestions

Wy didn't you set the Page.Bin and Page.BinOtherPages instead?
with TfrxReportPage(frxReport.Pages[0]) do
begin
Bin := DMBIN_AUTO;
BinOtherPages := DMBIN_AUTO;
end;

Thanks for your answer!

The new bin settings on the designpages are fine... but

My users are used to set First,Last,AllOther-Bins for the Prepared Report... and because I also use "PrintToPreviousPages" I can never be sure before preparing where the page is...

I would like to have the control over that on the prepared Page. (Like in FR2)

So I tried to set the Preview Bin Property like

     with Report1 do begin
        for z := 1 to PreviewPages.Count do begin
          if z = 1 then begin
            if bin_first <> 0 then begin
              PreviewPages.Page[z-1].bin := bin_first;
              PreviewPages.Page[z-1].BinOtherPages := bin_first;
              ...
              ... 
              ...

It don't works ?!?

Any other suggestions...
