Casting shadows in preview?

Hi,

Is there a way to see cast shadows in the viewport from lights prior to rendering?

Thanks

    Which preview mode are you using (set via the little sphere icon to the left of the camera/view selection button in the top-right coprner of the Viewport)? The default, Texture Shaded, doesn't show shadows. Iray mode will, though depending on the light type you may need to make sure it is set to Photoreal not Interactive in the Draw Settings pane.
