Principle

• If the developer has created a report on this Table control, the report is printed.
• If no report is linked to this Table control, the user can:
  • directly print the content of a Table control.
  • start "Reports & Queries" (if it is installed on the user computer).

• The "Print" option in the Table control popup menu requires the print libraries of the WINDEV framework.
• In the code, AAFDisable with the aafPrintReportOnTable constant, removes the "Print" option for the specified Table control.

Printing the report created by the developer

Directly print the content of the Table control

• the developer has not created a report for the Table control.
• "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 resizing is performed, the content of the Table control will be printed on several pages if necessary.

• The print title corresponds to the title of the Table control. If no title was specified for the control, the text "Report on table (AAF)" is printed.
• The column titles are printed on each page.
• The print respects the background colors used for the different cells found in the Table control.
• The print job does not reflect the RTF attributes of the text in the Table control.
• The counters, the totals, ... defined for the Table control are not printed. Only a row counter can be printed below the Table control. The caption corresponds to the caption defined for the counter in the window editor.
• Today's date is printed in the upper-right corner.
• The number of the current page and the total number of pages are printed in the lower-right corner.
• The horizontal merge of columns is kept, except in the following cases:
  • merge with an invisible column
  • merge of columns that "overlay" over 2 pages.
• Images in Table controls are printed only if their path is specified. Images in memos are not printed.
• The printing follows the writing direction specified by TextDirection for the window and/or for the Table control.
• Versions 22 and later
  Columns defined as non exportable and non printable will not be printed (VisibleInExportAndPrint property or "Export and print" option in the "General" tab of the column description window).
  New in version 22
  Columns defined as non exportable and non printable will not be printed (VisibleInExportAndPrint property or "Export and print" option in the "General" tab of the column description window).
  Columns defined as non exportable and non printable will not be printed (VisibleInExportAndPrint property or "Export and print" option in the "General" tab of the column description window).

Printing from "Reports and Queries"

• The created report is a "Report based on Table" report.
• If the report is automatically created in "Reports & Queries", the merge of columns is ignored.
