Hi, We've started using JasperReports a few days ago and have been very pleased at the product and our progress. However, I am currently struggling to provide a "Print Preview" of the report before the user "confirms" and actually prints.
Currently I'm building a report "Request for Quotiation". The user gathers some information in a Wizard, and has options such as Preview and Print before it finishes. The problem is that the Wizard is a "modal dialog", so when we start the Report Viewer (a JFrame) - it does become visible, but we can't control it because all "focus" remains on the wizard. When we close the Wizard we can use the viewer to inspect the new document - however that is not very useful. I've considered creating HTML and displaying that in a browser, but I would prefer the native viewer to provide a more accurate representation of a printout. Are there any other options for providing a "print preview" from a modal dialog?? I thought about stealing the JPanel from the ReportViewer, and displaying that in a dialog - but that seems too extreme. Any suggestions are appreciated.
