  As topic says, Is there a way to stop preview from showing all pages if they go over an arbitrary number, e.g. 3 pages?
  
  OnPrintPage does not do what I thought it does (it actually is used when physically printing pages, not when "printing"/showing pages in Preview).
  
  Iv'e tried :
  OnPrintPage (see above)
  Report.PreviewPages.Count can not be assigned to
  PrintOptions.PageNumbers is also just used when physically printing pages.

  
  Did a little digging and solved it. Connected the Event OnProgress in the report to the following:

  procedure TReportManager.OnProgress(Sender: TfrxReport;
    ProgressType: TfrxProgressType; Progress: Integer);
  begin
    If Progress >= 3 then
      Sender.Engine.StopReport;
  end;
  

  
  Works like a charm for me at least. Of course this method is only connected in the instance when i want to suppress the preview.
