• If a report was created on this table by the developer, this report is printed.
• If no report is linked to this table, the user can choose to:
  • print the table directly.
  • start "Reports & Queries" (if this software is installed on the user computer).

• To select "Print" from the popup menu of tables, the print libraries of the WINDEV framework are required.
• In programming, DisableAAF associated with the aafPrintReportOnTable constant deletes the "Print" option for the specified table.In programming, AAFDisable (or DisableAAF) associated with the aafPrintReportOnTable constant deletes the "Print" option for the specified table.

Printing the report created by the developer

Direct print of the table

• Reports and Queries is not installed on the user computer,
• the application cannot be used to start Reports and Queries.

• proposes to print in landscape mode,
  
• informs that all the columns will not be printed on the same page.
  
  In this last case, the user has the ability to resize the columns. If no resize operation is performed, the table will be printed on several pages if necessary.

• The print title corresponds to the table title. The window title is used if no title was specified for the table.If no title was specified for the table, the "Report on table (AAF)" text is printed.
• The column titles are printed on each page.
• The print respects the background colors used for the different table cells.
• The print does not respect the RTF attributes of the texts found in the table.
• The counters, the totals, ... defined for the table are not printed. Only a counter for the number of table rows can be printed below the table. The caption corresponds to the caption defined for the counter in the window editor.
• Today's date is printed in the top right corner.
• The number of the current page and the total number of pages are printed in the bottom right corner.
• The horizontal merge of columns is respected, except in the following cases:
  • merge with an invisible column
  • merge of columns that "overlay" over 2 pages.
• The images found in the tables are printed only if their path is specified. The images found in the memos are not printed.
• The print takes into account the writing direction specified by ..TextDirection for the window and/or for the table.
• Versions 22 and later
  The columns defined as non exportable and non printable will not be printed (..VisibleInExportAndPrint or "Export and print" in the "General" tab of the description window of column) .
  New in version 22
  The columns defined as non exportable and non printable will not be printed (..VisibleInExportAndPrint or "Export and print" in the "General" tab of the description window of column) .

Printing from "Reports & Queries"
