phoPreviewContainer - cDRReport ¶

Type¶

Default¶

0

Arguments¶

None

Description¶

Use this property to tell DataFlex Reports to display the results of the report in an alternative object. Usually, this preview container object contains an object instantiated from the cDRPreviewWindow class.

If the pePreviewStyle property is set to C_DRPREVIEW_VIEW (the default), C_DRPREVIEW_TOOLPANEL, or C_DRPREVIEW_DESKTOPVIEW and this property is zero (default), an object instantiated from the class whose ID is stored in phcPreviewer is created, and the phoPreviewContainer property is set to the ID of the object created.

To display the results from a DisplayReport call in a modal dialog, the pePreviewStyle property is set to C_DRPREVIEW_MODAL, and this property needs to be set to a modal dialog component.

Setting the pePreviewStyle after setting the phoPreviewContainer property clears the phoPreviewContainer property.

DataFlex Framework usage¶
