Hello everyone,


As the title says, here's the question. Can you rotate a data window 90 degrees?


Our problem:
We want to print 2 datawindows one after the other. The first one with normal orientation (portrait).
The second one rotated 90 degrees on an landscape orientation.
Without changing anything in the printer driver.


Questions:
Is it even possible?
How can we achieve it?
How would you handle that if you have this problem?


thank you everyone and have a nice day
greetings Stefan

Hello,
Would like to have more information.

1.   Seems the final outcome is in Landscape mode.
2.   Print has to be done side by side and NOT one after another.

Though I haven't tried.
Side by Side printing could be done with nested report, provided that it contains only detail band [ NO header band, NO footer band]

HTH

We want to print 2 different datawindows one after another with 2 different dataobjects.



Code example:



dw_1.dataobject = "dataobject_1"

dw_2.dataobject = "dataobject_2"

...some Code...

dw_1.print() // portrait

dw_2.print() // landscape

...some Code...

I thought it's a side by side printing. Try what Andreas suggested. You can also try with PrintOpen & PrintClose commands along with proper orientation settings either in script or in datawindow properties.



long job

job = PrintOpen( )

// Each DataWindow starts printing on a new page.

PrintDataWindow(job, dw_1)

PrintDataWindow(job, dw_2)

PrintDataWindow(job, dw_3)

PrintClose(job)

Hi.

So you need to set for the first datawindow orientation to portrait and the second to landscape? This would be done like that:

dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.Orientation = 2 // portrait
dw_2.Object.DataWindow.Print.Orientation = 1 // landscape

Or it is something more complex?

Andreas.
