Assigning lUseHaruPdf when TPrinter is sub-classed

[hua]

If I sub-class class TPrinter;

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

class XPrinter from TPrinter

What is the correct way to assign var lUseHaruPdf?
xPrinter():lUseHaruPdf or TPrinter():lUseHaruPdf

TIA

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Hua,

::lUseHaruPdf

[nageswaragunupudi]

xPrinter():lUseHaruPdf or TPrinter():lUseHaruPdf

You can use any.

[hua]

Thanks for the replies Antonio and Rao

I get this error message

  Error description: Error BASE/1005  Message not found: FWPDF:_LUNDERLINEHEADER

:lUnderlineHeader is a data in my xprinter class that inherits from tprinter.

Where did I go wrong?

[hua]

When tested using lUseFWPdf, pdfs are generated but
1. User is prompted for a file name for the pdf
2. The word "FiveWin Report" is embedded into the pdf

Would still like to use Haru pdf to see what size is the pdf generated

You have used a DATA that is not in FWPDF class.
If you inherit from TPrinter, you should know how to match with FWPDF class thoroughly
If not, do not use harupdf
My personal advice is not to use derived class. Finally, it is upto you.

[hua]

I see so when lUseHaruPdf = .t. I am actually using FWPDf not TPrinter.
Understood. Thanks

Is it possible to print to a pdf driver such as Microsoft Print To Pdf, CutePdf, etc programmatically without prompting user for filename?

By default, FWH uses Microsoft Word to read emf and print as PDF.
The programmer does not have to do anything for it.
There is really no need to search for alternatives.

[hua]

To avoid having to re-code my report routine I tried using :lUseFWPdf

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

    XTPrinter():lUseFWPdf := .t.
    XPRINTER oPrn name ::cRptTitle FILE cPdf
 

I don't know why the dialog box asking for pdf name appear. Is there something wrong with my pdf name?

"F:\test\harbour\pay2023_\PCB\2023\ABD RAHMAN BIN KASSI_202305.pdf"

TIA

[nageswaragunupudi]

We can not comment on your derived class.
but

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

PRINT oPrn FILE cPdf

does not ask for a file name again.

[hua]

Thanks for the info Rao. The dialog now no longer appears
Unfortunately when it's printing in a loop (a bunch of staffs tax calculation), it will eventually generates internal error
