- Fix: The e-mail preview form was not releasing correctly all variables, bringing some information from the previous e-mail sent.

- The main e-mail servers have been added to Users Setup form to ease configuration.

- New Property: 'lAutoCompleteEmailList' - Logical, determines if the Destination textbox in the e-mails form will track values previously entered and make them available in a dynamic list of suggested entries. This comes because users complained they could not delete the previous list of e-mails typed.

- .nPreviewMode = 3, Ribbon has been completely refactored, giving up the VFPX-SFRibbon project due to some incompatibilities and C005 errors caused by objects not being released. A new class was created, providing a similar visual result.

- Several new strings have been introduced, please get the latest localizations table and get it back to me

New features related to RDP

- New Property: 'lSaveOutputToClipboard' - logical, determines that the "Save As..." button will save the chosen output to the Clipboard, allowing the user to paste the created output to the local machine. This was a request from system managers that did not want to give access to users to navigate through the server folders

- New Property: 'lSaveOutputToDownloads' - logical, determines that the "Save As..." button will save the chosen output to the local machine, in the Local User's Downloads folder. For this to work, the RDP must be sharing the local drive with the RDP. The destination folder is usually: "\\TSCLIENT\C\USERS\NameOfUser\DOWNLOADS". If this folder can't be determined, it will save to "\\TSCLIENT\C\USERS\PUBLIC\DOWNLOADS" - Still under development, please let me know your thoughts regarding this, and share your experience.

IMPORTANT: These 2 new RDP properties are not visible to the end users on purpose at the Setup Form. It is up to the developer os Sys Admin to determine how his users will access the server folders.

New Color properties related to the Ribbon Preview have been introduced

- New Property: 'nSelectedItemBackColor' - Numeric, the RGB color value representing the color used for the Comboboxes / Listboxes / Textboxes used in the Ribbon previews and dialogs. The other Preview modes keep the default colors

- New Property: 'nSelectedItemForeColor' - Numeric, the RGB color value representing the color used for the Comboboxes / Listboxes / Textboxes used in the Ribbon previews and dialogs. The other Preview modes keep the default colors

- New Property: 'nRibbonSelectedColor' - Default value = -1, meaning a 15% darker color than the main container. In Ribbon mode (.nPreviewMode=3), the main container color is defined by the property 'nButtonsBackColor'

v3.00.270 - 2024-03-02

- Fix: Dynamics was not working in some situations

v3.00.269 - 2024-02-18

v3.00.267 - 2024-02-13

v3.00.254 - 2024-01-02

- Tweaked 'lRepeatInPage' was printing the second page about 1 inch below the correct position

- New property: 'lResizeToPaperSize' - Logical, resizes the report output to the Printer default paper size. This can bring some distorted report images. The recommended is to use the paper size the developer created the report.

- New property: 'lShowPaperSize' - Logical, shows in the Window title bar the paper size the report was designed to be printed. This way the user will know what is the required paper size for the report being previewed. I often receive complaints from users telling me that the report has some information missing in the lower part of the report. In most cases, users are printing on "Letter" papers instead of "A4".

The title caption shows the recommended paper size (the one used by the report creator)
The printers combo also shows the printer current paper size to be used if selected to print

v3.00.238 - 2023-09-27

- NewProperty: "cEmailToolTip" - Character, allows you to customize the tooltip to be used for the 'e-mail' button. This was intended to be used when the properties 'cEmailMode = 4' and 'cEmailPrg' are set for a custom procedure to export the output files. There is a new sample - 'Customizing export button' in the samples folder showing how to play with this feature.

Usage sample:

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.cImgEmail = "WhatsApp16.bmp"

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.nEmailMode = 4 && Custom procedure

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.cEmailPRG = "TESTWHATSAPP"

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.cEmailTooltip = "My custom button tooltip"

cSaveDefName - character, the default name of the save file. Available in the SAVE AS dialog OR automatically used if lEmailAuto

v3.00.237 - 2023-09-26

- Fix: OBJECT TYPE 10 sometimes generating an unreadable PDF

v3.00.236 - 2023-09-23

- Fix: OBJECT TYPE 10 now will try to get page dimensions information directly from the FRX, instead from the current printer. Before, when some selected printers had a small paper size the PSD document became small as well. Anyway, it is important that your report is saving the page dimensions information in the "EXPR" field of your reports, so that the Report Engine will be able to follow the needed report directives disregarding the printer, and generate the desired PDF document.

DO FOXYPREVIEWER WITH "CLEAN"
DO FOXYPREVIEWER WITH "RESET"
DO FOXYPREVIEWER WITH "d:\Users\Steve" && Path
DO FOXYPREVIEWER WITH "CLEAN", "d:\Users\Steve" && Path
DO FOXYPREVIEWER WITH "CLEAN", "d:\Users\Steve", "Steve" && Path and User - 3 parameters

m.lcLocalUserPath = GETENV("UserProfile")
m.lcFoxyPath = m.lcLocalUserPath + "\FOXYPREVIEWER"

v2.99z28 - 2013-09-02

- New tweaks in the property "lRepeatInPage"

IMPORTANT: The page repetition will be applied only if you select a quantity of copies > 1

You can leave the property "lRepeatInPage = .T." all the time on, to make FoxyPreviewer to print your report twice in the same page if the user wants more than one copy and if the report does not occupy more than half the page. This is a cool feature, allowing your users to save paper sheets!

If the report contains more than one page, even if the contents do not use more than half the page, this property will not be considered. If you select "nCopies = 3" and "lRepeatInPage = .T.", having the needed space in the sheet of paper, FoxyPreviewer will print the report twice in the 1st paper, and another single time in the next sheet. This feature works only when you click the "Print" button from the "PrintPreview" toolbar.
