If you have external datawindows with the autosizeheight property set to TRUE. The band doesn't automatically re-calculate when you insert data into columns that expand their height. The script hereunder forces the dataobject to re-calculate the height of the detail band. // Get the row that is currently the 1st one visible ll_FirstRowOnPage = Long(this.Object.DataWindow.FirstRowOnPage) ll_row = This.GetRow() ll_current_column = This.GetColumn() // Remove the AutoSizeHeight property Modify("DataWindow.Detail.Height.AutoSize=No") // Restore the AutoSizeHeight property Modify("DataWindow.Detail.Height.AutoSize=Yes")This.ScrollToRow(ll_FirstRowOnPage) This.SetRow(ll_row) This.SetColumn(ll_current_column) |

Dynamically routing DataWindow PCL output to a file | There are many times that it is necessary to
bypass a printer and route DataWindow output directly to a file for processing
without changing the current default printer.
This is easily accomplished by using the file attribute of the print DataWindow property: dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.Filename = "drive:\filename.prn" The filename attribute is a string containing the name of the file to which you want to print the report. An empty string means send to the printer Tip by: Keith Deron kderon@excite.com |
