Print Sliding with tab panel

Classic Servoy
1

I have a solution in which I am trying to aggregate orders. So the customers selects multiple orders hits submit and they are displayed in print preview on a new form.

The layout of the form is based on the orders table. I have a tab panel which shows a list view of order details. What I would like to do is use print sliding so that in print preview I can have more than one order per page.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to get the print sliding to work properly. I checked “vertical” under Allow move: and “Grow” and “Shrink” under Allow height to: for the tab panel print sliding. I also checked the same print sliding boxes for the elements on the order details layout.

The first order seems to be fine but every order after that doesn’t utilize any print sliding. I have attached some screenshots to illustrate the issue.

I am running Servoy 3.5.7, Windows XP Pro.

Any suggestions?

Anyone have any ideas?

I would base the report on the order_details, and use a subsummary by order_id to display each order header.

I think you will find this a more reliable and flexible way to layout the report.
