From version 25, the print preview has been renamed to "Report viewer". It is now recommended to use the iParameterViewer function.
Configures the print preview: - display a message regarding the resources of current computer.
- display or hide the ribbon tabs and buttons. For more details, see Print preview.
- the export parameters in the mini-preview window.
Remarks: - When printing a programmed report, all the print buttons are available in the print preview.
- By default, all the buttons for printing a report created with the report editor are available. iParameterPreview can only be used to configure the buttons defined as visible in the report editor.
- Two additional buttons may appear in the print preview if the application allows "Reports & Queries" (provided with WINDEV) to be run. These buttons are used to create and edit reports with "Reports & Queries". These buttons are displayed only:
- If the project allows Reports and Queries to be run ("Advanced" tab of the project description).
- If the report can be edited with "Reports & Queries" ("Details" tab of the report description).
