Export option structure changes¶

What is new - 26.0¶

In all versions prior to version 26 the export options for PDF, CSV, Image, Excel, RTF, HTML needed to be passed to the OCX via pointer to a struct with the options. In version 26 the OCX now contains setter and getter functions for each of the struct members. This means that changing the userpassword for a PDF cannot be done anymore by changing the whole structure and then pass this to the OCX but can be done by only changing the password itself.

At report integration level the following structs are marked as obsolete but kept alive for backwards compatibility and the members of the struct are then passed to the OCX via individual COM methods.

Structs¶

• drCSVExportOptions
• drHTMLExportOptions
• drImageExportOptions
• drPDFExportOptions
• drRTFExportOptions
• drXLSExportOptions

Notes¶
