We use a graphic server OLE control in a form and it works well but after an OIPI preview it needs to be redrawn. Is there a way to detect when the user close a preview window ?

Bertil,

The Print Preview window is VSPRINTER. If you check for the HANDLE property on the window you could tell whether it has been closed.

Bertil,

If you have a promoted CLOSE event then you can also check to see if @WINDOW is equal to VSPRINTER.

You should be able to use the Activated event on the main screen to call a refresh of the graphics. Also, probably needed on the Size event too.

Thanks, I'm not familiar with promoted events, any examples of available

Bertil,

I'm not sure I can easily give you an example but I can point you to some references for your own study.

First, you can find documentation in the Programmer's Reference Manual, Chapter 10, Promoted Events section.

There are also a couple of third-party resources that I believe will be useful to you:

The X Events - by Sprezz

Promoted Events - by SRP

The above references were written before OpenInsight was updated to provide a toolkit for creating and managing promoted events. Therefore, if you are running 8.x you will definitely want to take advantage of the Generate Promoted Code button on the Event Designer form.

Thanks, detecting 'Activated' did the trick

Hmmm…but will the form with the graphic server *always* be activated when the OIPI Preview window is closed? What if you launched a window in between? Then when the OIPI Preview window is closed, the second window window will be activated but the graphic server will still appear as if it needs to be redrawn.

You are right, I'll check the promoted event
