Render NDR with NO preview

QUESTION:

I want to save my report to a NDR file without any setup dialog or preview screen. How would I do that?

SOLUTION:

The following code requires that you have a RvNDRWriter, RvProject and RvSystem components on your form.

Delphi:

Procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

Begin

// Set your RvProject engine property to NDRWriter

RvProject1.Engine := RvNDRWriter1;

RvNDRWriter1.FileName := 'Test1.NDR';

RvProject1.ExecuteReport('YourReportName');

// re-set the RvProject engine property here

RvProject1.Engine := RvSystem1;

ShowMessage('NDR file created');

End;

C++Builder:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{

// Set your RvProject engine property to NDRWriter 

RvProject1->Engine = RvNDRWriter1;

RvNDRWriter1->FileName = "Test1.NDR";

RvProject1->ExecuteReport("YourReportName");

// re-set the RvProject engine property here

RvProject1->Engine = RvSystem1;

ShowMessage("NDR file created");

}
