Print Sliding Preview Method

Classic Servoy
1

If I manually preview my print form I can print it and the print sliding works fine. It also works fine if I include a Print Preview step in my print method.

If i do not use a print preview step, and just want to print the document, the print sliding does not work.

Unable to reproduce, please post sample solution with sample data to demonstrate this issue

Jan,
Here is the solution. here is how to navigate to the form method and the print form in question.

From start screen:

Select Equipment Manager
Select Purchase Bids
Select Search Bids
Select Search
Select record # B93 (Has sliding data)

This will open the form ‘EquipManagerBidRecord’. This is the form that has the print method.

The form the the method references to print is called ‘PrintBidForPurchase’.

The field on the print form that does not slide via the method, is called equipment_condition.

Thanks for your help.

The possibility to wrap text on spaces or enter positions for the textarea

Well, I deleted the initail text string , entered normal text, I typed three sentences, and it still does the same thing, no sliding on print

I created a new record and added text and it worked. I guess it did not like modifying the text string in the original record for some reason. Thanks for your help.
