I am attempting to force open the print dialog so that all the user has to do is set the email address and press ok. I've found multiple tutorials on how to print a report to file or a printer without the print dialog, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Typically to email a report, the user displays the report, clicks the print icon in the tool bar, and then chooses email and sends it. I want to cut out the first two steps automatically.
This is one of my many attempts at doing this so far, but to no avail.
void emailInvoice()
{
Args args;
ReportRun rr;
Report rb;
PrintJobSettings pjs;
CustInvoiceJour record;
;
select record where record.RecId == 5637175089;
args = new Args("SalesInvoice");
args.record(record);
args.parmEnum(PrintCopyOriginal::OriginalPrint);
// Set report run properties
rr = new ReportRun(args,'');
rr.suppressReportIsEmptyMessage(true);
rr.query().interactive(false);
// set report properties
rb = rr.report();
rb.interactive(true);
// set print job settings
pjs = rr.printJobSettings();
pjs.fileName(strfmt("C:\\Users\\gbonzo\\Desktop\\%1.pdf", record.SalesId));
pjs.fitToPage(true);
// break the report info pages using the height of the current printer's paper
pjs.virtualPageHeight(-1);
// force PDF printing
pjs.format(PrintFormat::PDF);
pjs.setTarget(PrintMedium::Mail);
pjs.viewerType(ReportOutputUserType::PDF);
// lock the print job settings so can't be changed
// X++ code int the report may try to change the destination
// to the screen for example but this does not make
// sense when running a report here
pjs.lockDestinationProperties(true);
// Initialize the report
rr.init();
rr.run();
}
Thanks in advance for your help!
Have you tried to develop a RunBase standard dialog class (RunBaseBatchPrintable if you need to select the printer) that get all the dialog fields you need and from there, programatically run the report passing all the desired parameters? I'm prety sure it will work, and probably will left a cleaner code separating the report of the logic needed to the user interaction.
Read an example here:
http://waikeatng.blogspot.com.es/2010/10/using-runbasebatchprintable-class.html
You have to call the prompt() method of the ReportRun class before calling the run() method.
if (rr.prompt())
{
rr.run();
}
The prompt() method will show the print dialog. If you want it easier for your users you could use the SysMailer class, take a look to the quickSend() method.

I am trying to figure out how I can get database information involving the email column, make an array with all of the emails and then use the "button" feature to populate the "To:" part of an email page.
Any help is appreciated. Very new at this and pointing me on where to get the info would be great. Thanks
I recommend you to run a server script that would query the datasource that has the emails. The script will look something like this:
function getEmails(){
var query = app.models.<yourmodel>.newQuery();
var results = query.run();
var allEmails = [];
if(results.length > 0){
for(var i = 0; i < results.length; i++){
var uniqueEmail = results[i].<emailfieldname>;
allEmails.push(uniqueEmail);
}
}
return allEmails.join();
}
Then add a script to the button widget "onclick" event that will run the server script and manipulate the returned data. Something similar to this:
function poulateToField(response){
<widget path>.text/value = response;
}
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(poulateToField).getEmails();
The above widget path would be the path to the "To:" widget, which can be a text box, text area, etc. In my case, I used a text area and the path was this "widget.parent.descendants.TextArea1.value"
I hope this helps. If you have more questions, just let me know! :)
P.D. Please don't forget to review the official documentation for a better and more detailed explanation.
you can also use projections to get a list of items (emails) from your datasource. As per this Article https://developers.google.com/appmaker/ui/binding#projections:
Projections let you access properties from records in a datasource's
items list. Access projections with the ..projections.. option in the
advanced binding wizard, or use the projection operator .. in a
binding path. For example, for an Employees datasource with a name
property, #datasources.Employee.items..name returns a list of all
employees' names.
You can check the "Call Scripts" guide which shows you how to send emails using App Maker which is available here https://developers.google.com/appmaker/tutorials/call-scripts/
To use projections and following the above guide, in Step #2 under "Create the UI": Add a text box for the recipient:
c. In the Property Editor, instead of entering the "To" value to the Textbox widget, you can select Binding and bind the widget to the Datasource projections following this path: datasource > items > ..projections.. > Email (name of the datasource field where the emails are located)
For example a projection will look like this: #datasource.items..email
This will automatically bind all emails that are available in your datasource to the text box widget. Then you can complete the guide and emails will be sent to all the email addresses in your datasource. Hope this helps.
Short Version :
If an error is thrown during the execution of an SSRS report after the associated RDP temporary tables have been updated, the next time the report is run for the same parameters, code execution does not insert fresh data into said tables. Any idea why and how to prevent it?
Long Version :
I am trying to modify the run conditions of a standard report (SalesInvoiceReport) so that the original of any invoice can only be printed once. For all reprints, the "Copy preview" option should be used.
For the most part, the customization is working as intended. I used the CustInvoiceJour.PrintedOriginals field and the CustInvoiceJour.updatePrintedOriginals() (both part of Standard Ax) to maintain the number of originals that have been printed and a slight modification to the SalesInvoiceController.outputReport() method throw an error of an original is being re-printed. Below is the code added to achieve this :
...
// <A147> Code to disable reprints if an original is already printed
isOriginalPrintable = CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(custInvoiceJour.RecId).PrintedOriginals == 0;
srsPrintDestinationSettings = formLetterReport.getCurrentPrintSetting().parmPrintJobSettings();
//srsPrintMediumType = srsPrintDestinationSettings.printMediumType();
if ((printCopyOriginal == PrintCopyOriginal::Original || printCopyOriginal == PrintCopyOriginal::OriginalPrint))
{
// If no originals printed, allow prints.
// Need to re-read the CustInvoiceJour record from the table to get updated data
// If the Original is printed but the prin form is not refreshed, the form's recordset does not update to the latest data.
if(isOriginalPrintable)
{
CustInvoiceJour::updatePrinted(custInvoiceJour, (srsPrintDestinationSettings.numberOfCopies() == 0 ? 1 : srsPrintDestinationSettings.numberOfCopies()));
}
// Don't allow the original document to be printed more than once.
else
{
error(strFmt("#GLS223085", custInvoiceJour.InvoiceId, custInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate));
return;
}
}
// </A147>
...
I placed this in the SalesInvoiceContreller.outputReport() because I found similar code present there as part of standard Ax, albeit for use in specific country regions.
When user uses the Original Preview button, the error is thrown and code execution stops but the RDP temporary tables used to hold the report data have already been updated with report data (specifically the field which hold the Report title is set to Invoice).
When the user reruns the report, this time with the Copy Preview button, code execution somehow skips inserting fresh data into the temp tables (which would set the Report Title field to Invoice Copy) and the first copy output still says Invoice, defeating the requirement.
When i click on button need to display message instead of loading image for long running process.Need to show what is happening in my code behind.Like below stages
Collecting information from database..........
Generating PDF document..............
Sending e-Mail........
Done.
Note:No need to set default time for stages it need to take message from code behind and display.
Please send me any related links.
Thanks in advance.
Check out Easy incremental status updates for long requests
You could easily add a TextBox control and change the Text property by your code behind, in function of what you do.
For example:
private void Loading()
{
txtLoading.Text = "stage1.Collecting information from database";
// PUT CODE TO COLLECT INFORMATION FROM DATABASE HERE
txtLoading.Text += "\r\nstage2.Generating PDF document";
// PUT CODE TO GENERATE PDF DOCUMENT HERE
// ETC ETC
}
Hope it helps :)
This is very abstract question.
I'm working on a Spring MVC Web Application which has to deal with lot of invoice printing continuously. Currently When the invoice is saved, the spring controller delegates the invoice id to the jasper pdf generation service which prepares the pdf. After the pdf gets downloaded, the user manually prints it.
I need a way to print the invoice silently when the user saves the invoice.
Any ideas?
Since you are exporting to PDF it is possible. You need to add a JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT parameter to your JRPdfExporter instance with the value "this.print({bUI: true,bSilent: false,bShrinkToFit: true});". For Example:
protected static byte[] exportReportToPdf(JasperPrint jasperPrint) throws JRException{
JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_STREAM, baos);
exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT, "this.print({bUI: true,bSilent: false,bShrinkToFit: true});");
exporter.exportReport();
return baos.toByteArray();
}
This actually adds the JavaScript to the PDF. When the PDF is opened it is ran, and will send it the print queue. It should be noted that this should be used sparingly as it is not generally considered to be nice to do this automatically for your users. When I have used it in an app, we had to buttons for each report. An Export button, that does not contain the JavaScript, and a Print button that did. That way users that wanted it to just print it would do so, and those that wanted a digital copy had that also.
I am using ReportViewer.WebForms in asp.net page. I have the parameter toolbar showing up where I can select a parameter, it does a postback to get the next parameter (dependent on the first), and so forth.
When I click the View Report button there is a postback and the report will display fine.
All this works great.
What I would like to do is set the ShowReportBody to false
ReportViewer.ShowReportBody = False
At this point I would like to grab all the parameters that have been selected by the user and run the render method to export to a file (of my choosing .. maybe excel, maybe pdf .. does not really matter, nor is the topic of this question).
So, my question is, how (or can I) trap the button event of the View Report button? I would like to be able to use the ReportViewer UI in order to capture all the parameters instead of building custom parameters.
I'd also like to rename this, but, again .. another topic :)
You can use the IsPostBack flag and QueryString
Example:
Viewer.ShowReportBody = false
if(IsPostBack)
{
if(Request.QueryString["Exec"] = "Auto")
Viewer.ShowReportBody = true;
...
}
else
{
Viewer.ShowReportBody = true;
}
