Re: Write Pro setting print options

2018-03-24 Thread Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech 
OK so for anybody's who's interested ...
It currently isn't possible to set these options in this way (i.e., when
creating a document entirely in code). A workaround would be to do
something like open a window containing a layout that contains a WritePro
area, apply the modifications to that area, and use that. Or manually
create a template that has the desired options.
I'm hoping that the required functionality will be added in an upcoming
release of Write Pro ...

Hi Jeremy,
Yes, WP USE PAGE SETUP is called after INVOKE ACTION.

//Also remember that the 4D Write Pro area must have the focus when INVOKE
ACTION is called.
Therein may lie the problem. The document is being created in memory - it
isn't on a form. So I guess it does not have the focus.
So ... how do I apply settings to the document?

Re: Write Pro setting print options

2018-03-22 Thread Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech 
Hello,

WP PAGE SETUP over writes all current print settings with that of the write pro 
document, for the next print job. you should NOT use it when you are using 
regular SET PRINT OPTION to specify the paper and orientation.

Re: Write Pro setting print options

Hi Pat,

Have you tried calling the command WP USE PAGE SETUP *after* INVOKE ACTION?

That is, the following call sequence works:

INVOKE ACTION
WP USE PAGE SETUP
WP PRINT

Also remember that the 4D Write Pro area must have the focus when INVOKE ACTION 
is called.

Best regards,
Jeremy

Nope ... as you pointed out, it's not a printing issue. It's a "saving the
specified settings" issue. INVOKE ACTION isn't used at all in that HDI
example.

Re: Write Pro setting print options

2018-03-22 Thread Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech 
Thanks - there are so many places to look for commands that affect WritePro
areas, I sometimes forget about that one :)

is your question about the checkmark missing in the contextual popup menu?
Yes, that is one part of the question.

Unfortunately this still doesn't work.
I am creating documents entirely in code. A template document is opened and
modified. Once the doc has been created it is printed as a PDF and also
saved in a new record in the database.

None of the "invoke action" options seem to stick. The document size and
other settings such as page orientation are always the same as the WritePro
template that was used as the basis for the new document.

I tried adding some additional actions - e.g.:

*INVOKE ACTION*("pageOrientation?value=landscape")

*INVOKE ACTION*("pageMode?value=page";ak current form)

and they don't have any effect.

Is there something additional I need to do?

Thanks!

Pat

Hello,

the commands

is your question about the checkmark missing in the contextual popup menu?


SET PRINT OPTION is a printing command,
to change the document size of the Write Pro doc itself,
I think you need to INVOKE ACTION

http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R5/4D/16-R5/Using-4D-Write-Pro-standard-actions.200-3494557.en.html

e.g.

INVOKE ACTION("pageSize?index=1";ak current form)

Write Pro setting print options

2018-03-21 Thread Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech 
I use

SET PRINT OPTION(Paper option;"A4")

to set the page size to A4.

But this doesn't seem to work.
If I view the document that was created, go to
Document->Page size

No page size is selected.
I choose A4 and the page size changes accordingly.

BTW if I go again to Document->Page size, it still doesn't show which page
size is selected.

Likewise, SET PRINT OPTION(Orientation option;2) doesn't seem to have any
effect.

Am I doing this the wrong way?

PB
