Use in the report code

If iPageWidth is used:
  • after the report opening code, the result corresponds to the report printable width (page width - left and right margins).
  • in the report opening code, the result corresponds to the physical printable width (page width - top and bottom physical margins of the printer).
Windows Mobile

Printers and Mobile Device (Pocket PC)

No information is read from the printer.
The physical margins of the printer depend on the printer selected in the configuration window of the printer.
Example: If you use the default type ("Universal PCL"), the margins used are as follows:: right and left = 0.635 cm (=0.25 in), top and bottom = 0.508 cm (=0.2 in).
Caution: The print coordinates sent by WINDEV Mobile to the printer are expressed in logical coordinates (i.e. inside the "page printable area"). If the physical margins of the printer are different, the print will be shifted accordiing to the page edge.

Miscellaneous

iPageHeight lets you find out the printable height of a page.
