Send reports per email with my own email-client

scotty · Post by **scotty** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 1:44 am

i'm working on an email-client software with support of reports.
when the user send a rendered report by clicking on the sendperemail-button in the toolbar of the previewcontrol, the report should be send with my own email-client.

When i subcribe the CllickSendEMailButton event (this works), the stiPreviewControl don't show the submenus of the emailbutton

Is there an event where i can send the exported report after clicking the sendperemail-button?

thanks
scotty

We have added event ProcessSendEMail to StiPreviewControl. It will be available in build from 14 April.

Thank you.

Please use following code:

Code: Select all

StiExportService service = sender as StiExportService;
if (service.ExportFormat == StiExportFormat.Pdf)....

Thank you.

Hi

this is not working for me! I want to export the report by showing the "Export Parameter"-Dialog to a tempfile and send the tempfile as attachment by by own email functionality (all this should by handled in the ProcessSendEmail-event)

When i call service.Export(report, fileName, true), the service calls the standard emailclient - so is it possible to show the "Export Parameter"-Dialog differently?

thank you

Please use the following code:

Code: Select all

StiReport report = stiPreviewControl1.Report;
string tempFile = "D:\\MyTempFile";
if (sender is StiExcelExportService)
{
     tempFile += ".xls";
}
(sender as StiExportService).Export(report, tempFile, false);
MAPI.SendEMail(((report.ReportAlias != null) && (report.ReportAlias.Trim().Length > 0)) ? report.ReportAlias : report.ReportName, report.ReportDescription, tempFile);

In that case the standard export dialog will appear during the export in to predefined tempFile.

Thank you.
