I ran into a problem today, that I am surprised not
to have
encountered before. I use revPrintField to print a
multi-page
document and usually I print it to a PDF and then
print selected
pages if needed. Today I tried printing directly
from Revolution
(this is just a stack that runs from the IDE) and
despite selecting
page 1 to 1 in the print dialog, it tried to print
all the pages.
I guess I have a couple of questions:
- does this happen to everyone, in which case I'll
bugzilla it?
- is there a workaround?
TIA,
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
The revPrintField and revPrintText commands are not
designed to handle this. You could hack these
yourself, but unfortunately, the engine does not give
us a way to determine which pages the user wanted to
print.
I noticed that SuperCard 4.5 has a new 'printRange'
property. Naturally, I'm one of the people who hope
that this will be added to Revolution soon.
Jan Schenkel.
Thanks Jan,
I'll add this to bugzilla as a feature request. If Rev allows us to
use the standard print dialog, then it should respect the settings it
gets back from that dialog.
Cheers,
Sarah
