Hi
I just modified the report preview to suit my needs (captions, keyboard handling (+,-,ctr+MouseWheel for zoom in/out), PNGs instead of BMP/MSK and I've looked at the code.
Well, it's a lot of code and I believe that there is a lot of work to replicate it, even if at a small scale.

The report preview form calls report listener .OnPreviewClose(.T.) for printing in its Release() method.
I tried on the sample form with a shape as the preview device and it printed without exit.
