I cant find anything in the RL about setting it within the RB
program code.
The issue of how to override--then restore--the Windows margin
settings in Rb code has arisen quite frequently on the Rb lists for
several years. Feature requests to Feedback have been submitted and
reviewed negatively by RS.
However, there is one currently open with status 'Reviewed' which you
might sign on to: hdjvtifw.
The need for this capability in cross-platform coding arises when
designing printouts that require a considerable portion of the
printer-available page. This can be done readily in code using the
PageSetUp tools provided by Rb and the printing will be done
correctly on the Mac without user interaction. However, a dialog must
be presented to Windows users to manually reset their margins before
printing or else waste some paper. Or, of course, a unique printout
design for each platform could be implemented by the programmer.
RS engineers have taken the position that Windows print margin
settings should never be overridden, which is, well, a responsible
viewpoint.
Best,
Jack
