PRINTING IN RUNREV 2.9

[Biocentric Solutions]

Hello,

I don't know if anyone knows whether it is possible to print and entire
scrolling field in Revolution 2.9. I've not been able to do it with
Revolution 2.5.1. The idea is to be able to print the entire scrolling
field, including that which is not visible in the card on the screen. (If
anyone knows how to do it in 2.5.1 I would also like to know.)

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

All the best,


Leonardo Wild

Hi Leonard,

This has been a recent topic of discussion on this list. revprintfield  
works for me.

Good luck,

Joe Wilkins

 I just filed bug 6478 after verifying today exactly what goes wrong with revPrintField in Linux.  Needed to get to a system where Rev printing works fine in all other respects.  Have not experimented with Mac or Windows, but its probably specific to Linux from the lack of other reports.

However, this bug is not about it failing to print all of a field on multiple pages.  It does that just fine.  The problem is, being unable to adjust scale.

Even when this is resolved, I think I will still use awk for printing reports.  Its so easy to reformat the field exactly how you want, and this may not be the same for reporting as it is for entry of data or on-screen reading.   So if you are going to reformat to print anyway, why not use a tool designed specifically for that?  The shell is very easy to invoke without the user having to worry.  And Awk of course comes for Linux, Windows and Mac.

Hi Leonardo,

The new print routines should allow you to do this with a bit of fiddling,
but for simplicity you may wish to consider saving the htmlText of the field
to a printme.html file (perhaps saved to the temp directory and deleted on
closeStack), then launch it for the user to print from their browser. That's
the technique we use for the Scripter's Scrapbook and is, of course,
compatible with all versions of Revolution.
