Closing preview window after print

omid

Hi,
Is it possible to close Preview screen after the printing completed?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You have to use own preview window (see Demos\C#\CustomPreview sample).

Thanks Alex,
But I want to know printing completed or not, I think it is too expensive solution that designing custom preview form.

Adding event or property to the report object to know printing status will be very useful.
Do you think is it possible? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Thanks.[/img]

This is a specific request (closing the preview after print), so I don't think it will be useful for others.

Hmm OK Alex but,
There is IsPrinting propery in report object maybe adding IsPrinted propery will be very useful.
For example, If report is printed i can log when and who printed report via using IsPrinted property.

My company buy FastReport with sources, I try to add the property but it requires DevComponents.

You can attach own handlers to the progress events, to write to a log:

Config.ReportSettings.StartProgress += new EventHandler(ReportSettings_StartProgress);
Config.ReportSettings.Progress += new ProgressEventHandler(ReportSettings_Progress);
Config.ReportSettings.FinishProgress += new EventHandler(ReportSettings_FinishProgress);

private void ReportSettings_StartProgress(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//
}

private void ReportSettings_Progress(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e)
{
//
}

private void ReportSettings_FinishProgress(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// the operation is finished, you may analyze the Report.Operation property and write to a log
}

To compile FastReport.dll from source code, you don't need DevComponents. See Programmer's Manual, "General information/Compiling the source code".
