hi all,

 

I need to set specific paper size 12.50cm x 18.95cm at datawindow object. But I can't find any customization available. Any alternative way to do so ?

 

 

regards,

Dev Ong

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022/datawindow_reference/XREF_91740_Print_property.html

 

You can set Datawindow.Print.PageSize to 256 to set custom page sizes.

 

dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Size=256")
//18.9 centimeters long
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.CustomPage.Length=189")
//12.5 centimeters wide
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.CustomPage.Width=125")

The values are in mm for Size=256, not sure if you can set half a mm of precision here but probably not.

When the DW Units property is set to "centimeters" (property value = 3), the unit of measure is actually 1/1000th  of a logical centimeter, so 18.95cm would be expressed as 18950. Similarly, "inches" are expressed in units of 1/1000th of a logical inch.

Best regards, John
