R – Landscape printing in Rave Reports Delphi 7

delphilandscaperave-reportsreport

I have create report designs in Rave (Delphi 7). However they are in portrait mode. When user selects landscape printing from Print Setup, it is printer in portrait again anyway. How can I fix it, so that Rave generates reports in a format which user selects during print setup?

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.

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;

Print Report in Landscape mode

You need to click outside of the body of the report (where the red box is)

Where to Click

This will bring up the Report Properties (my properties tab shows up on the right)

Here, you need to swap the height and width of the `PageSize' Field

settings to change

Then when SSRS tries to decide if this should be a portrait or a landscape it will know, without a doubt, that this is a landscape Report.
