Printing Multiple Forms on one Page

Classic Servoy

Hi all,

I have one table with quite a lot of fields. The idea is to replace a paper form.

Rather than have one huge data entry form, I have created 3 forms based on the table and added them to a tab panel so we have a data input form with 3 tabs.

My question is when the user prints how can I get all the parts on one page?

I have setup a button and attached a method that calls form1.controller.print,
form2.controller.print etc but that will print each part on a separate page.

Is there a way round this?

Alternatively, I can design a print form with all the fields and print that, just hoping for an easier way.

Hi Eric,

That is exactly the way to go.
Ofcourse you could use (hidden) tabpanels to include the original forms.
But I don’t think tabpanels can resize with the data (printsliding option).
But if you don’t need that then that would be an option.

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert,

Many thanks for the confirmation. I will setup another form.
