My form, which is called "Production Info", has a button on it that prints only the current record when clicked. I have added to its Onclick macro so that as well as printing when clicked, it also opens a second form and prints that as well. However, I am still getting two separate print dialogue boxes. Is there a way to print them both from the same print dialogue box so that the reports print together (duplex print) on the same paper instead of printing separately on different pages?
Also, I know it is not common practice to print forms, but making the "Production Info" form into a report isn't an option because it has a combo box that is essential to its' functionality. I tried making it a report before, but reports don't support interactive controls as far as I understand.
No, there is no such option.
You could print to two PDF files, then use a PDF tool to merge these into one PDF-file, and finally print this.

Just as the title says.
I cant find ANYTHING for this particular usecase Online.
This is in context of a website aiming to be AA WCAG 2.0 conform.
I have non-focussable text alongside focussable textinputs inside of a single view.
I can TAB through the focussable textinputs, but I cant read out the textfields inbetween. When I press "arrow down" while having the focus on the textinput I get "empty field" from NVDA. Most shortcuts also unfortunately produce text in the textinputfield instead of executing the associated behavior in NVDA.
Is there any way have the keystrokes being recognized as commands instead of input for the textfield? Is there any keyboard shortcut telling NVDA to behave like this?
Under the hood, NVDA auto switches to Forms mode, so what you're getting is the correct behaviour. if that text is related to the field, then you should use aria-describedby="[id of text]", on the form element.
I wouldn't be looking at anything that changes the default behaviour of how it works, as this will undoubtedly cause issues, for end users.
Could you not put that text in a tooltip, that is only shown when a user tabs to an interactive icon, next to the input (using the aria-describedby attribute too)?
I need a table to pop up or flash on the users screen when a button is clicked
It is a reference table, users can go back and check the codes while filling a form. This is to be done vb.net. Please help me i need the simplest solution possible
in my opinion:
1) If you don't insist on formatting and you would like to only display table data, you can simply write the data into string, which you will display in a MsgBox dialog. You'll probably will have to take care about partial string lenghts in columns (trim, or complete with spaces to a specific length) and then it will look OK. Bellow is an example of such data (only a test dialog) without any trimming/completeng:
2) For a serious table, you'd have to either use datagrdiveiw (or such) in a separate form, or draw your table using GDI, which would be a rather complicated and eccentric method.
I'm beginner with Crystal Reports.
Referring to the image below...
..., how can I suppress the data if the user prints for the first time?
Can I use printstate(OntheFirstTime)? If I can, how to use it?
Corrective Action:
In Crystal Report, right-click and select Format Object.
Search for "Suppress Embedded Field Blank Lines" checkbox and tick on it.
Click Ok.
Save the changes.
Thanks
This might have to be broken down a bit but what i want to do:
I have:
- A List of (sort of) greeting cards.
Each will be printed to a particular size (A4 folded down the longer edge)
I want to:
Generate a list of these cards in HTML with css that puts the tags in their place
which would be rotated 90°.
Ideally i'd want to print the list of cards without ever seeing their HTML.
And without print dialog, but would want a modal confirmation dialog after printing where user input confirms they printed correctly.
So my questions are:
Assuming divs for each card, do i just to rotate in the css and then add pagebreaks after each card to define a new page for printing?
I'm really having trouble with the css, do you recommend any good resources for this?
Do I need to specify page size or if the particular size paper is in the printer will the printer print proportionally?
How can I print without browser's print dialog This is answered
How can I catch when the printing job is finished?
Would I be better off with using some PDF library?
3. How can I print without browser's print dialog.
This is not possible. Any browser shouldn't allow this. All you can do is to open print dialog from Javascript but user has to confirm.
Of course you can generate PDF but this requires user to print this PDF manully (clicking print button).
I am printing a details subreport that gets printed let's say 5 times on the overall report, for 5 query results. I compute some stuff for it with my code, and so I use BeforePrint event on an XRTable widget that I have in that subreport. So far so good.
What I don't like is that when the BeforePrint executes for that table for the first time and I change its cells' text to something, that this renders on all subsequent instances of this report and table being printed. Now, obviously, since BeforePrint gets called again, I get the opportunity to reset the text to what it should be. So this is not a show stopper.
Yet, this somehow fills wrong, and an invitation to bugs. Is there a way for me to explicitly access "the instance of the table/other widget being printed" rather than "the widget in general, with changes being rendered in all instances that it prints"?
Indeed, you are right. If the formatting should be based on the earlier created data or summary, formatting rules won't work. A possible solution to this problem is to implement a special approach when a developer manually browses all printing system bricks and changes their content manually. You will find some examples on how this can be done at:

subtotal on page bottom and on next page on top
