As an update,,,

I installed PB 2019 R3 Build 2779.

Migrated a copy of my code.

Tested the app and the .Print functionality worked as it always has.

Something in latest 2017 Builds has caused it to stop working, but is fixed in 2019.

   This changed 5 years ago when PBv10.5 was released. If you are using the PFC you need to override the CORP_U_DW.PFC_PRINTDLG event. My code is listed below; the actual CHANGE for the print dialog command is in BOLD BLUE TEXT. Check out the HELP file entry for detailed information.

Thanks Olan...

the Help for .Print for 1915 still seems to reference what we currently do, but it's just not working...

objectname.Print ( printjobnumber, x, y {, width, height } )

Hi.

I did tested the following code on a window:

long Job

Job = PrintOpen( )
Print(Job, "Report of Year-to-Date Sales")
w_my_window.Print(Job, 1000,PrintY(Job)+500, 6000,4500)
PrintPage(Job)
parent.Print(Job, 1000,PrintY(Job)+500, 6000,4500)
PrintClose(Job)

w_my_window is my window, and there is a command button that contains the above script.

When I click the button it prints the window twice (one for w_my_window.Print and one parent.Print call).

I'm using PB 2019 R3 2779. Cannot test it in PB 2017 R3. I don't use it anymore.

Andreas.

Thank you Andreas!!

We are considering the move to PB 2019 once our move to Oracle 19 is complete.

I will add one ,ore piece of testing... 

If I do the .Print command where just the ancestor window is being displayed, I get the screen shot.

However, if there is a window that has been opened, it does not take the screen shot.

If I set my printer to a PDF printer, the first PDF is 43 KB in size, the next one is 1 KB.

I believe that with PB 2017 Build 1951, I can switch my license so that I can run PB 2017 and PB 2019.

I might try your version to see if it addresses my issue, and to see how complex the migration from PB 2017 to PB 2019 might be.

Thanks again!!

I believe that with PB 2017 Build 1951, I can switch my license so that I can run PB 2017 and PB 2019.

That's true. With 1951 you can use concurrently PB 2017 with any other newer version (same user on the same pc).

At home, I still have an installation of PB 2017. I will test it also there. Are you using PFC's? Or you simply have inheritance?

Andreas.
