TablePrint (Function) In french: TableImprime Prints the content of the specified Table control without having to create a report based on the Table control. An AAF (Automatic Application Feature) allows the user to directly print the content of the Table control (see Automatic menu of Table controls). TablePrint is used to configure the print job: - Ability to specify additional elements to be printed (date, number of pages, etc.).
- You can use iDestination to configure the destination of the print job.
// Specify the print job parameters
// Print to a PDF file named table.pdf, in portrait mode
// Forces the Table control print AAF to use
// the parameters of the Table control (cell color, etc.)
AAFConfigure(aafPrintReportOnTable, 1)
// Change the destination and the orientation.
iDestination(iGenericPDF, "./table.pdf")
iParameter(iOrientation, iOrientation_Portrait)
// Print the Table control (without option, everything is displayed)
TablePrint(TABLE_MyTable)

- The total number of pages is not calculated in the following cases:
- if the print affects more than 3000 records.
- if the calculation of the total number of pages exceeds 4 seconds for a Table control file based on an HFSQL Client/Server data file.

- If printed, the title will be the title of the Table control. The window title is used if no title was specified for the Table control.

ConfigureAAF(aafPrintReportOnTable, 1)
- The print job does not reflect the RTF attributes of the text in the Table control.
- The counters, totals, ... defined for the Table control are not printed. Only a counter for the number of rows found in the Table control can be printed below the control. The caption corresponds to the caption defined for the counter in the characteristics of Table control.
