How to select the Printer at runtime?

koney

Can I somehow change Report Options from my program? I have more than 1 printer and I want to have opportunity to change printer from my program - so I can save it to ini file or registry and I dont have to use Windows default printer or every time select printer I want. Yes I can save it in report, but thats not very good solution (thats not very user-friendly).

I have one solution, but it ###### :
Before opening and printing that particular report:
- Save default printer to variable
- Load from ini or reg printer I want and set as default
After Printing report
- Set back default as default

The approximite code:

uses printers,....
....
....
....
var
printer:TPrinter;
index:integer;
begin
printer:= TPrinter.Create;
printer.Printers;
//ListBox1.Items:=printer.Printers;//if it is necessary possible to take list a printer
index:=printer.PrinterIndex;//take current printer
frReport1.ShowPrintDialog:=false;
//we print 1-ouch report on 2 printer
frReport1.LoadFromFile('rep1.frf');
frReport1.ChangePrinter(index,2);//change printer with the current index on printer with index 2.
frReport1.PrepareReport;
frReport1.PrintPreparedReportDlg;
//frReport1.PrintPreparedReport();//possible in the same way use this function
//we print 2-ouch report on 3-m printer
index:=printer.PrinterIndex;//take current printer
frReport1.LoadFromFile('rep2.frf');
frReport1.ChangePrinter(index,3);//change printer with the current index on printer with index 3.
frReport1.PrepareReport;
frReport1.PrintPreparedReportDlg;
end;
