Print event that fires for every line?

Classic Servoy

Is there a print event which fires for every line in a table?

Thank you,

What are you trying to achieve exactly?

I would like to be able to show/hide colored boxes, so that particular cells in the table are blocked off. Right now all I can do is place a dash (-) in a box that should be blocked off.

I would also like to alternate between thin and thick horizontal lines for even/odd rows, to make the printed form easier to use.

Thank you,
Don

That could be done using the onRender event (rowBgColor for Servoy 5.x) and a dedicated CSS style for the print form, have a look at the wiki to start with.

Hi Nicola,

I see an ability to set color, but what about setting something to have no color? I would like to show and hide grayed-out areas (possibly rectangles). For the horizontal lines, would I have one thick horizontal line and one thin line, and alternately show and hide those by making one of them transparent?

Also, is this stuff available for 6.0.x, or only 6.1?

Thank you,
Don

Well, I figured out how to get alternate lines to print, by using two lines of different thicknesses rather than trying to change the thickness of a single line. So the top portion of this works. When I try to read the value of the contents of a field, however, I get errors for every row printed. If I use the interactive console, I can see that “item” has properties, including a field value. But I cannot seem to test the field value with this method.

function onRender_register_1_prt(event) {	
	var item = event.getRenderable();	
	var itemName = item.getName();
	if(itemName == "row_separator") {
		row_CT = row_CT + 1;
		if (row_CT % 2) {
			item.visible = true;
		} else {
			item.visible = false;
		}		
	} else if(itemName == "row_separator2") {
		if (row_CT % 2) {
			item.visible = false;
		} else {
			item.visible = true;
		}
	} else if(/^arst_col/.test(itemName)) {
		var record = event.getRecord();
		if(record[itemName] == "-") {
			item.bgcolor = "#999999";
		} else {
			item.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
		}
	}
}

Thank you,
Don
