Close the Second Preview Form

[Brainstorm]

When i create a dot-matrix report, first it opens a Preview window, then i have the option to open a second Preview window when i click the dot-matrix button on the toolstrip menu.
However, when i use the StiReport.CompiledReport.Printed event to automatically close the preview window after the report was printed, this second window is not closed.

Is there anything i can do to fix that?

Thank you.

It's not difficult to reproduce really, you dont need a special report.
Open the print preview window, then click the Dot-Matrix Button at the top, it will open a new window.
If the button doesn't show up, open the designer and set the Preview Mode report property to "Standard and Dot-Matrix".

Hello.

Thank you for the additional information.
We have reproduced the issue.
We can make this windows as Dialog. Is it right for you?

Thank you.

My problem is that i set the window to auto-close after the report is printed (code bellow), but the dot-matrix preview window remains open, we need it closed when the preview window is closed.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

rptImpressao.RegData(this.DstImpressao);
rptImpressao.Load(StmcIcon);
rptImpressao.Compile();
rptImpressao.CompiledReport.Printed += new EventHandler(report_Printing);
rptImpressao.Render();

rptView.Report = rptImpressao;                
rptView.ShowDialog();

and the Printing event to close the preview form after the report was printed:

Code: Select all

private void report_Printing(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      rptView.Close();
}
