ExportReport - cDRReport¶

Methods - Properties - Events

Method Type¶

Procedure

Arguments¶

Description¶

Exports the opened report in the chosen format to the chosen filename.

At the beginning of the routine, the OnExportReport event is fired. Export can be stopped by setting pbCanceled to true in that event.

Sends the Popup message to the object-id stored in the phoStatusPanel property if the property pbShowStatusPanel is true.

Do not forget to also set the corresponding export format options via one of the following methods: Set pPDFExportOptions, pCSVExportOptions, pImageExportOptions, pHTMLExportOptions, pRTFExportOptions, or pXLSExportOptions. If these values are missing, the DataFlex Reports OCX cannot operate correctly and might crash.

At the end of the method, the event OnPostExportReport is fired.

Using a filename without a path is not advised because it is unclear where the file is created. Use of ReportCacheFolder is suggested.

This method cannot be used before the report OCX object is initialized. The COM object creation is - when not done before - created as part of the OpenReport method.

DataFlex Framework usage¶

• Web
• Windows
• FlexTron
