Uwe,
I not seen margins lines on Report preview

Hello Silvio,
please can you post a screenshot of what you want.
Preview is an object. You can paint lines on it.
But I am not sure what you exactly need.
Best regards,
Otto

Silvio,
this is the Report of your program. Where do you need the margines?
Best regards,

I added 2 lines to the box as a test. One at left and one at bottom.

    COLUMN TITLE "St"           DATA Test->State
    COLUMN TITLE "First Name"   DATA Test->First
    COLUMN TITLE "   Salary"        DATA Test->Salary

    END REPORT

    oReport:CellView()

ACTIVATE REPORT oReport ;
ON STARTPAGE LINBOX(oReport)

CLOSE TEST

RETURN NIL

// -------------

STATIC FUNCTION LINBOX(oReport)
LOCAL nInchWidth, nInchHeight

nInchWidth  := oReport:PhyWidth(RPT_INCHES)
nInchHeight := oReport:PhyHeight(RPT_INCHES)

oReport:Box( 0.3 ,;         // top
                    1.0  ,;         // left
                    nInchHeight -.3 ,;   // Bottom
                    nInchWidth  -.3 ,;   // Right

                     0.9   ,;                   // nLeft
                     nInchHeight -.2 ,;    // nBottom
                     0.9   ,;                   // nRight
                     2      ,;                   // second pen created

Using pen 2 for lines I got a error, using pen 1 works.

REPORT oReport TITLE  "*** My First Report ***" PREVIEW PEN oPen[1], oPen[2]

Enrico,

thank You it is working now ( using 2 pensizes ).
I updated the example shown above.



happy new year

regards
Uwe

[Silvio.Falconi]

but it is not that I searching
the lines must be dotted and it must run on Report class and printer class only on Rpreview . the user can show it from rpreview menu or not
I hope someone understand the problem ( do you use winword ?)

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

If you want to change the report left margin then try this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oReport:Margin( nNewValue, RPT_LEFT, RPT_CMETERS )

EMG

[Silvio.Falconi]

and on printer class ?

[ukoenig]

I tested changing the STYLE expecting maybe to show lines dotted
but there are only solid lines, COLOR works

DEFINE PEN oPen[1] STYLE 0 WIDTH 3 COLOR CLR_RED
DEFINE PEN oPen[2] STYLE 1 WIDTH 2 COLOR CLR_BLUE

regards
Uwe

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

and on printer class ?

TPrinter has no margins. You have to change the print column.
