- "OutFox the VFP Report Writer: Printing on My Terms" - Cathy Pountney
Southwest Fox Rehearsal Night!
The Visual FoxPro Report Writer has great power, but sometimes you need to print reports slightly different than the native behavior. In this session I'll show you how to use the VFP ReportListener object, combined with API calls, to extend the way you print reports. You'll learn how to print from the previewer WITHOUT closing the preview window. You'll also learn many more techniques such as printing two pages per sheet so you can bind the report as a booklet.
This session teaches you:
* How to print on your terms
* How to print selected pages without closing the previewer
* How to print multiple copies, collated and non-collated
* How to print multiple pages on one sheet
* How to print booklets
- Open discussion and the other normal chatter of tips and tricks.
- Anything else people want to talk about.
Hope to see you there.
