PrintCachedPages Method

PrintCachedPages Method


Object.PrintCachedPages()

Remarks

Object can be any object derived from the _ReportListener base class or its subclasses.

The most common use of PrintCachedPages is to send output to the printer when a user still has a Print Preview window open.

Example

The following code example comes from the ActionPrint method of the frxpreviewform class in the ReportPreview project. This project contains the source code for the default _REPORTPREVIEW application, ReportPreview.app. You can find and modify the source code in the Tools\xsource subfolder of your Visual FoxPro 9.0 installation folder.

	Copy Code
if THIS.oReport.commandClauses.NOWAIT THIS.oReport.PrintCachedPages() else * Terminate: THIS.suppressRendering = .T. THIS.printOnExit = .T. THIS.Release() endif

Because the ReportPreview application that is included with Visual FoxPro uses PrintCachedPages( ), you can control the behavior of the Print button in the Print Preview toolbar. If you want the Print Preview window to stay open after a user clicks Print, include the NOWAIT clause in your REPORT FORM command, for example:

	Copy Code
REPORT FORM (filename) OBJECT oReportListener PREVIEW NOWAIT

If you want the Print Preview window to close when a user clicks Print, do not include the NOWAIT clause in your REPORT FORM command. For example:

	Copy Code
REPORT FORM (filename) OBJECT oReportListener PREVIEW
