Hi Team,  We have a request to add a new column to a data object. After adding a new column, the datawindow does not show the entire screen columns due to print specifications. I have tried modifying the margins and paper specs but still no luck. How to adjust the print specification to show the entire datawindow columns. Please address this as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks,

Padma

Hi All,

Thanks all for your suggestions. We had a trouble showing the entire columns on the datawindow when running the application as because the datawindow has been turned on with print preview option and hence it was, trying to show the preview of how the print is going to be with default printer settings.  I tried turning off print preview and after which, the entire columns were properly shown but the user's request is to always preview the print on the datawindow before event they print so I decided to change the paper size which can accommodate all the datawindow columns and after which, the problem got sorted out. 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Padma

Hi Padma;

  I am confused as that is what the DataWindow Control's "Scroll bars" are for. Changing Print Specifications does not control the DWO's display on the screen but, only how it gets formatted for the Printer when printing. +

Maybe you can elaborate on your issue some more & also add some screen captures to clarify?

Regards ... Chris

you can also set the 'zoom' setting in the datawindow.  anything under 100% will shrink the data which will allow it to fit on a page

 

or change the size of columns until it fits

Padma,

You can set printpreview = no with
dw_1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.Preview = no")

Be aware that the columns beyond the paper size will print in the next page!

Happiness Always
