Project Description Export your Visual FoxPro reports to Images, RTF, PDF, HTML or XLS super easy!

Send them by email! Enhance the look of your previews, and allow your users to decide how their report previews will be. FoxyPreviewer is a VFP report generating class, that brings some cool and useful functions, as you can see in the pictures below.

Features
1 - Preview Toolbar The original toolbar was modified, with some new button images, and new buttons too !

2 - Printers ComboBox The printers combobox will show you all the available printers (local and in the network), and allows you to change the output destination to any printer that you want.

3 - Copies spinner Determine on the fly the quantity of copies that you want to print! 4 - Miniatures button

View miniatures of all pages of the current report. Clicking on any miniature will jump the output page to the selected one.

5 - Save As button.

A new button that calls a context menu that allows you to save the current report as:

Image Files - EMF, PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF HTML PDF RTF, a MS-Word compatible format XLS, a MS-Excel XML worksheet

6 - Context menu The report context menu was updated as well, receiving all the new buttons and pictures. For the case of the "Save as." button, a submenu brings all the output possibilities.

7 - Changing the Printer Preferences. Now you can access the Printer Preferences dialog to change the default printer settings of the selected printer directly from the report tollbar. Works on all Windows versions!

8 - Send report by Email. Sending a report by email is super easy. You may choose between using your defalt Email application via MAPI (compatible with Outlook Express, MS Outlook and Windows Live Mail), CDO, or even your custom email procedure. Users will be able to send the current report with a single click !

Using the CDO option, you'll use your own SMTP server to deliver your messages. You can send HTML or Plain Text email bodies. The enhanced new email form below allows you to: *Generate HTML outputs for the body of your message *Changing the formatting, alignments, fonts, adding pictures, hyperlinks, etc... *Preloading an HTML *Attaching more files is allowed *Mark message as Priority *Ask for read receipt

Another cool thing is that after you click on "send", a Continuous progress bar, with the cool Marquee effect (thanks to Carlos Alloatti) will appear, till the message is delivered:

And this is the dialog shown when you send an email with the CDO - TXT option, that allows you to send emails using a plain text body

9 - User Setup allowed. Users may configure the PrintPreview window and toolbar appearance for the current and for all the subsequent report sessions, customizing almost everything!

10 - International support Right now FoxyPreviewer supports 12 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, French, German, Italian, Persian, Czech, Polish and Indonesian. You may switch between languages setting just one property.

11 - Search texts during preview FoxyPreviewer allows you to make searches in the preview canvas. The corresponding cell will be highlighted as below:
