Hi Folks,

we're using Combit List & Label Ver. 12 as Report Generator. There is quite a strange behaviour when printing a report: The "Printer Dialog" Window is shown with a standard Windows XP Border for about 3 seconds, then it disappears. After starting the printout the progress window is shown with a default XP Border wich also disappears after a few seconds. The "Preview Window" is ok, but the "Designer Window" is an awfull mess of showing/not showing/disappearing and thus flickering Window Borders.

Anybody working with List&Label and SkinFramework?

How can I prevent List&Label from being "frameworked"?

Ah, yes, forgot to mention: We are not using the List&Label OXC but calling the DLLs directly.

Any answers are mostly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Herbert Lackner

Hi,

It will be great if you attach sample to show what you do.

Hi Oleg,

thanks for your quick reply.

Here is a recording of my application and "misbehaving" List&Label:

Hi Oleg,

that's great!

http://www.combit.de - www.combit.de

Thats the way we use it:


  hJob = LlJobOpen(CMBTLANG_GERMAN)
  LlSetDlgboxMode LL_DLGBOXMODE_NOBITMAPS
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_NEWEXPRESSIONS, 1)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_MULTIPLETABLELINES, 1)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_SUPPORTPAGEBREAK, 0)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_SORTVARIABLES, 1)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_DRAWFOOTERLINEONPRINT, 1)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_COMPRESSSTORAGE, 0)
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_NOPARAMETERCHECK, 1) 
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_XLATVARNAMES, 0) 
  ret = LlSetOption(hJob, LL_OPTION_CONVERTCRLF, 1)
  ret = LlPreviewSetTempPath(hJob, AppPath)

  Call LlDefineFieldStart(hJob)
  Call LlDefineVariableStart(hJob)

  'define some Fields and some Variables
  'Fields are used in Tables
  'Variables ase used in Textboxes etc.
 
  LlDefineFieldExt(hJob, "aNumericValue", 200, LL_NUMERIC, "")

  LlDefineField(hJob, "aTextValue", " ")
 
  LlDefineVariableExt hJob, "TextVariable", "", LL_TEXT, ""

  'Start printing 
  ret = LlPrintWithBoxStart(hJob, LL_PROJECT_LIST, "ObjName", LL_PRINT_USERSELECT Or LL_PRINT_MULTIPLE_JOBS, LL_BOXTYPE_NORMALMETER, me.hwnd, "Title")
 
  LlPrint hJob
 
  'Start printing...

  LlDefineFieldExt(hJob, "aNumericValue", 1.56, LL_NUMERIC, "")

  LlDefineField(hJob, "aTextValue", "This is the printed Text...")
 
  LlDefineVariableExt hJob, "TextVariable", "This is the Value", LL_TEXT, ""

  While LlPrintFieldsEnd(hJob) = LL_WRN_REPEAT_DATA
  Wend

  ret = LlPrintEnd(hJob, 0)

Just to show you how List&Label is used by us. There are some Examples in the Evaluation Version, but most of them use the ocx...

Thanks

Herbert

Hi Oleg,

SkinFramework Version is 11.2.0.0. How do I update?

Thanks,

Hi Oleg,

just downloaded the current evaluation version of SkinFramework, inserted it into an LL12 Example - still: the Designer is not working 100% (the menu line is hidden and only navigable by keystoke Alt+letter)...

thanks

OK, so I found a solution:

in the initialisation of my printing class I set

fMainForm.SkinFramework.AutoApplyNewWindows = false

and when terminating the class

fMainForm.SkinFramework.AutoApplyNewWindows = true

That works for me - one little glitch stays: the new windows inherits some Colors from the Framework... but that doesn't matter...

thanks

Herbert
