Printing a Form

[Timo]

In the browse view there's a Print Button but in an edit form not. How can I make it appear there as well? And ideally, the breadcrumbs and action buttons shouldn't be printed.

Timo,

The Print button creates an HTML page containing all the records in the current way the data it is filtered and sorted.

That HTML page can then be printed or imported into a spreadsheet.

If you want to print an Edit Page just hit print screen or some other utility to print the screen.

Timo, this should do the job:

// add a Print Button to the Edit Form

Code: Select all

if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    nuAddActionButton('nuPrintEditForm', 'Print', 'custPrintEditForm();'); 
}

// hide some elements before calling the print dialog

Code: Select all

function custPrintEditForm() {

    function setElementsVisiblity(v) {
        $("#nuBreadcrumbHolder").css("visibility", v ? "visible" : "hidden");
        $("#nuTabHolder").css("visibility", v ? "visible" : "hidden");
        $(".nuActionButton").css("visibility", v ? "visible" : "hidden");
     }

    setElementsVisiblity(false);
    window.onafterprint = function (e) {
        $(window).off('mousemove', window.onafterprint);
           setElementsVisiblity(true);
    };

    window.print();

    setTimeout(function () {
        $(window).one('mousemove', window.onafterprint);
    }, 1);
}

Hi, thanks for this solution to printing the edit form. Do you know if there's a way to print multiple records in the "edit form" format? Ideally I would like to be able to do a search in the browse form and then print a separate page for every record (row) returned.

Ben,

Wouldn't it be easier to create a report?
