Crash on frxPrinters.FillPrinters and DesignReport

vos

If I first call frxPrinters.FillPrinters and then Report.DesignReport I get an EInvalidOperation exception with message 'Canvas does not allow drawing'.

Example:

var
  Report: TfrxReport;
begin
  Report := TfrxReport.Create(nil);
  frxPrinters.FillPrinters;
  Report.DesignReport;
end;

I'm using the latest version (4.5.57).

Hi,
I get the error too.
I use FastReport 4.5.13 and if I loadfromfile the report and then call the designer I get the error BUT
if I call the designer and INSIDE the designer I open the report, its works fine
my code :

frxReport1.LoadFromFile(ReportFileName);
frxReport1.DesignReport;

I think it's a bug inherited from FR3.

Hi, I have fixed the error.
May be it's works for you [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> In the properties of the report, Instead of setting the property "printer" to "default printer", I still had an old printer setting which I no more have in the list of available printers on my computer.[/img]
