Hi Tracy,
All I did was change the datagrid name. (If I can remember correctly)
but here is my code just incase (Hoping that someone will help w/ the
headder
and footer adding):
== Start Code ==
function doPrint() {
var pj : PrintJob = new PrintJob();
// position of currently visible rows stored
var prev_vPosition:Number = historyDg.vPosition;
var prev_width:Number = historyDg.width;
var prev_height:Number = historyDg.height;
if(pj.start() != true)
return;
historyDg.setSize(pj.pageWidth,pj.pageHeight);
// number of rows per view, ignoring fractions (floor)
var rowsPerPage:Number = Math.floor((historyDg.height -
historyDg.rowHeight)/ historyDg.rowHeight);
// number of pages to be printed, if there are any
fractions, have
one page for that (ceil)
var pages:Number = Math.ceil(historyDg.dataProvider.length
/
rowsPerPage);
for (var i=0;ipages;i++) {
// move the visible row position.
historyDg.vPosition = i*rowsPerPage;
// size box relative to the grid
var b=
{xMin:0,xMax:historyDg.width,yMin:0,yMax:historyDg.height}
pj.addPage(historyDg,b);
}
pj.send();
delete pj;
// position of currently visible rows restored
historyDg.setSize(prev_width,prev_height);
historyDg.vPosition = prev_vPosition;
}
== END Code ==
thanks,

Hi Tracy,
I'm using that same function w/o problems to print the info in the
datagrid BUT
I whish I could figure out how to add a headder and footer to the
printjob. I'm
just too unfamiliar with the print function. I've actually never used
it before
this project.

The Sample code for printing from a DataGrid posted on the MM site
under the url below does not work:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?event=viewid=
KC.tn_19241extid=tn_19241
It is close, it is actually putting the data into the page, but still
only the visible area prints. If I generate 100 lines, the output is
the correct three pages and each page starts on the correct line, but
only the 8 visible lines print on each page.
Has anyone else tried this and succeeded?

RE: [flexcoders] Sample code for printing from a DataGrid:doesnot work?
Tracy,
Its funny you send this email
because I posted something about printing last nightI am using the same
exact code youre using from the example on MMs site and I would
say it works intermittently, at best, when I try to print my datagridat
first, if you read my post from last night, I thought it was only when I tried
to print it in landscape, because the first few times I tested it, it was
actually working in portrait but when I switched the landscape, it stopped
printinglike you said, it printed the correct number of pages but only
the visible content was printedthen I tried to print again in portrait
layout and it stopped working in that format as wellvery strange
behavior. The whole printing functionality in Flex is very weak and is sort of
the bane of my existence at the moment being as the application I developedis
a reporting application. Right now, as terrible as it sounds, I tell the users
to launch the PDF version of the report theyre viewing and use that to
print anything they wantthing is not everything in the application is
available in PDF formatmaybe Flex 2.0 will come around to thisI
really hope so anyways. Ideally, if they could provide a mx:FlashPaper
component for Flexnow THAT would be the epitome of awesomeness.
Im going to continue to investigate
this, as I hope you and Art will to and maybe we can come up with something
collaborativelybecause there doesnt seem to be a quick fix to
this conundrum.
Best,
Rob

RE: [flexcoders] Sample code for printing from a DataGrid:doesnot work?
Hi All,
Well so far my printing has made me go baldlol but seriously.
I have got it to print a header on one page the datagrid contents on another
page, and my footer on the last page.
Not fun at all. I for what the server costs you'd expect better functionality
than this. Little things like this make clients unhappy and in the end MM
looses because if this issue doesn't get taken care of quick this will really
hinder the future of Flex.
Hey Matt! I agree with Robert. there should be some kind of
mx:FlashPaper tag
for v2.0 of Flex. that would make my day.
also could you look at my print function located in this email below
and help me
get a headder on each page w/ a footer on the last page?
thanks,
