Print Sliding

Classic Servoy
1

I am pulling my hair out here. This is the first form I have created to print.
I have a portal that contains Fields that I want to grow. I have tried every possible combination of print sliding and field display types.

Maybe it is the fact that it is a portal, Is this possible?

The next problem I am aslo having si I have the portal set to grow, and it works fine when the record count exceeds the size. I have a field beneath the portal that I want pushed farther down the page if the portal to grow. The portal just over laps the field. I have no errors generated regarding overlapping. I have the field set to allow vertical movment. I have played with arranging the field and the portal on the same layer and every anchor configuration.

I regards to the portal field growing as I mentioned in the pervious post, I cann’t get it to grow. Sliding works great in a list view, but not in a portal field. Is this the case, and I have to create my form in the line items table? I guess a tab panel would be my only other option, with means building another form.

Also, in the print sliding dialog box the word height is spelled heigth

The first thing you have to check is that there is NO overlap ANYWHERE. If there is overlap you won’t see the expected behavior.

The easiest way to do this is:

  1. give your background a color (maybe re)
  2. select all elements to see if you have some ‘remainders’ of your development somewhere
  3. make sure you see the background everywhere

The same goes for all stuff you put into your portal

hope this helps a little

Sliding does not work for fields in portals, only elements directly on the form (a portal itself can slide), in Servoy 2.1.1 the property will be hidden in that case.

Yes, I figured that out, so I moved my form to the Line Items table.

Thanks
