Hi,
Any suggestion for a Gmail client that is 100% compatible with the WD print previewer?

could you expand on your question... I do not understand

A gmail client is not printing in windev, so how could it be compatible with the print preview?

When you use the embedded print viewer of WD, you can select ->export, and email the PDF to a recipient.
WD uses the default windows email client ..
I want to use a Gmail Windows Client instead - like Wundermail for Gmail.

All other Windows apps work fine, with Wundermail for Gmail as the default email app - but my WD 26 apps report that they cannot find the default email app. I am running Windows 11 ..

Hello Steven

It is messy because the preview window is a PCSoft black box

I add an extra email button into the "Export" menu tab
In the init of that button I have some logic that either hides that button or hides the existing buttons - Btn_Email_HTML and Btn_Email_PDF
The preview window is really fragile so don't delete the existing buttons, just hide them

My button opens an email window that uses smtp to send the email
The logic that I use to decide which email option to use is also used prior to opening the preview to create a pdf copy of the report so it can be provided as an attachment to my smtp email window

Al

Hi Al,
I was hoping to avoid this extra path, but since I can't make the standard approach to work on ALL computers, I will follow your suggestion.
