R – How to find which page orientation user selects in Rave (Delphi 7)

delphiorientationrave-reports

Is there a way to find which page orientation (poLandscape or poPortrait) user selects furing preview setup? I have tried this code:

if RvSystem1.SystemPrinter.Orientation=poPortrait then 
ShowMessage('Portrait')
else 
ShowMessage('Landscape');

But this code give "Portrait" even if I select Landscape from setup. Can anybody help?

I know this is really old, but Rave Reports is no longer. I suggest anyone who reads this to STRONGLY consider using another reporting engine e.g.

Seems that I have found solution myself ) I used RenderObject property of RVSystem. Here is the code:

procedure TRepAllForm.RvSystem1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);

begin

 if RvSystem1.ReportDest=rdFile then
 Begin
     if RVSystem1.RenderObject=RvRenderPDF1 then
      RvSystem1.OutputFileName:=RvSystem1.OutputFileName+'.pdf'
     else if RvSystem1.RenderObject=RvRenderHTML1 then
      RvSystem1.OutputFileName:=RvSystem1.OutputFileName+'.html'
     else if RvSystem1.RenderObject=RvRenderText1 then
      RvSystem1.OutputFileName:=RvSystem1.OutputFileName+'.txt';

 End;

end;

R – Landscape printing in Rave Reports Delphi 7

Have a look at the documentation "Rave Reports" [PDF]

First, by default, the printer settings are used.

Second, you can try to set the SystemPrinter.Orientation property to poLandScape

Also have a look at Anchors:

Anchors can be used to create adaptable Reports when combined with other Reporting features. Imagine that a Report needs to be defined that can be printed in either landscape or portrait orientation or that the Report may be run on different size papers. Setting the Anchors properly will allow one Report to adjust to these changing conditions.
