Hi. The Reportcontrolview demonstrated with the Reportsample demo app provides Printing and PrintPreview capabilities.
I would like to be able to add a text header and footer to this view to include current page, total page etc...
How can I do that ?
Thankx!!

This is supported feature - check class CXTPReportViewPrintOptions (file XTPReportView.h) ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

Thanks; I understand it works with formatstring features; What are the "variables" to pass to the formatstring member to insert current page, total pages, date/time etc...For example, let's say I want to display a static text as header and a variable text as footer like the date on the left and the #/pages on the right.
Can someone link me to a sample or provide the code portion?
Is it also possible to add graphical elements like lines or a rectangle around the header/footer?
Thankx!

This vars used in CXTPReportPageSetupDialog class so look in this class source e.g.
CReportPaneViewView use this m_pPrintOptions->GetPageHeader()->m_strFormatString = "Header text: &p from &P";

https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/PaneViewReportSource.rar - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/PaneViewReportSource.rar 'Header text: ' and ' from '- static parts, &p and &P - dynamic parts No support for graphical elements but you can use Watermark image in print / printpreview using special flag: GetReportCtrl().SetWatermarkBitmap(_T("C:\\MyJpgFile.jpg"), 100); GetReportCtrl().SetWatermarkAlignment(xtpReportWatermarkCenter | xtpReportWatermarkVCenter | xtpReportWatermarkPreserveRatio | xtpReportWatermarkStretch); GetReportCtrl().GetPaintManager()->m_bPrintWatermark = TRUE; see http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14922 - http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14922 with snapshots ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

I have one more concern when I look at this great sample: I see that the WHOLE printing code (including pagesetup options, paginate, header/footer customization...) has been re-done, compared to the "ReportSample" which uses the default built-in code.
This "ReportPaneView" even replaces the printing preview toolbar with a new one
 So I understand I shouldn't use the default code and get all from the ReportPaneView sample ? or is this code is about to be implemented as default for next codejock release ?
Thankx!

You rigth in term of totally updated CXTPReportView class but it is not related to printpreview framework -
I just use COMMANDBARS PrintPreview framework which do nothing with real printpreview code except toolbar, buttons, zooming -
DoPrintPreview internally call my function CXTPReportView::OnFilePrintPreview() which do real work.
If I compile withiout COMMANDBARS and use CXTPReportView::OnFilePrintPreview()) only - everything will be the same -
only use old microsoft printpreview toolbar with only 2 pager button (Next and Prev)
void CReportPaneViewView::OnFilePrintPreview() {
#ifdef _XTP_INCLUDE_COMMANDBARSCPrintPreviewState* pState = new CPrintPreviewState; if ( !DoPrintPreview( XTP_IDD_PREVIEW_DIALOGBAR, this,RUNTIME_CLASS( CXTPPreviewView ), pState )) { delete pState; }#else CXTPReportView::OnFilePrintPreview(); #endif } This is source code - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/PaneViewReportSource.rar - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/PaneViewReportSource.rar - build yourself both variants and compare ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

I modify sample - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/ReportPaneViewStatic.rar - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/ReportPaneViewStatic.rar
you can use toolbar printpreview button (before help) to launch std framework printpreview and menu - file - printpreview to launch CJ framework printpreview ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

One problem alreade seen in other cases.
1) Open exe
2) Click Help-> Release Sort
3) Click Close
On middle of header title "Column 8" there is a vertical 2..3 pixel red line.
 Tested both on Vista 32 SP2 and XP 32 SP3 at different resolution

This is normal reaction - not a problem - because you use Wysiwyg mode - this red marker (end of visual page) help you properly resize columns to fit in page
You can use some handler (button, menu...) with code:
GetReportCtrl().GetPaintManager()->SetColumnWidthWYSIWYG(!GetReportCtrl().GetPaintManager()->IsColumnWidthWYSIWYG()); GetReportCtrl().RedrawControl(); and this red marker disapear. Later you can call same handler again to switch back to WYSIWYG mode

Thanks Mark for the explanation of the reportpaneview sample, I could include the improved look without efforts 
Another question if you don't mind;
Using both standard printing implementation + standard page setup dialog implementation, how can I get access to the header + footer customization so I can save/load them with the opened document ?
Extra question: Is there also a way to "intercept" the header/footer at printing time in order to manage additional custom variables ?
Thanks a lot!

Additional custom variables - only if you derive own ReportView class.
Basic custom variables - sure: you have this two strings (in CXTPReportView or your derive class like CReportPaneViewView) to store and load
GetPrintOptions()->GetPageHeader()->m_strFormatString
GetPrintOptions() ->GetPageFooter()->m_strFormatStringYou can keep in this vars enough information (and using "\n" add extra lines) ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

Follow my promice - I add CXTPReportPaintManager::ShowWYSIWYGMarkers(BOOL bSet) function -
you can dynamically set it On or Off to show or hide Red End of Page WYSIWYG mode markers ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |
