Hi.

The main issue with changes made in pfc_print, is that it will never print, as other stated. That's because  pfc_w_master pfc_print event does nothing. It simply returns 0. And I haven't found any pfc window that inherits from pfc_w_master and uses that event for print. I guess that this change was made to give us in the future the possibility to print the window itself, but remained incomplete.

The bad thing is that triggerevent cannot handle return values from events they call. It handles if the command succed. So if the event exists, triggerevent will return 1. Then it will not try to print anything else (for example active datawindow). If those changes are realy needed (pre and post events), then some redesign will be required.

For the momment, what I did (which I know is not 100% correct), I extended pfc_print event in the pfe layer. There I added the following code:

graphicobject lgo_focus

lgo_focus = GetFocus()
If IsValid (lgo_focus) Then
	If lgo_focus.TriggerEvent ("pfc_print") = 1 Then Return 1
End If

If IsValid (idw_active) Then
	If idw_active.event pfc_print() = 1 Then Return 1
End If

return ancestorreturnvalue

Actually this is the equivallent code the messageroute event would execute if it could catch that the pfc_print event on the window returned something different than 1.

It looks like this was changed circa v12.5, so your previous libraries must have been older than that.

I assume you do not have any descendant windows that now contain code in the pfc_print event?

It should be relatively simple for you to correct in the w_master (pfemain.pbl) descendant of pfc_w_master:

You can try overriding the ancestor script, but do not put ANY code (even a comment) in the w_master's pfc_print event. ANY code (not just executable statements) in the event script will result in the TriggerEvent(as_message) function call returning 1.

If that does not work, then using the "message router" code as a guide, perform in w_master's pfc_print event script the same subsequent logic that the message router used to perform, beginning after the "//Try sending the message to the last active datawindow, if successful exit event." comment . You'll need to make some adjustments in the code, but conceptually this should work well.

Good luck!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for all of the great suggestions on how to solve my problem.

I went with Rene option to remove all code from the pfc_w_master::pfc_print event and everything worked great.

Thanks again,

Mike
