How To Print "Gridlines" From an Entity With Multiple Occurrences
Author: kathy.seeman@noris.org (kathseem)
Hi,
I'm running a Uniface form on Client-Server. The form presents data in a tabular format (kind of like an Excel Spreadsheet, but not in a grid widget). When printing out the results of the form, we'd like to have gridlines print to allow for easier reading of the data. Is there any way to do the equivalent of "print gridlines" in Excel, so that lines would print between each row?
We are running Uniface 9.3.02.
Any help is appreciated!

on option which does not appear during display:
specify a breakframe which contains a line
in the leave printed occurence trigger of the entity, just enter
printbreak BreakFrameName

another option which does not need additional lines is the "zebra":
in each odd occurence ($curocc % 2), change the color to one (expl. yellow which is col=6) which is printed as a light grey with the occurence gets focus trigger:
if ($printing)
$fieldvideo ( Field1 ) = "col=6"
$fieldvideo ( Field2 ) = "col=6"
endif
and revert it in the leave printed occurence trigger
$fieldvideo ( Field1 ) = ""
$fieldvideo ( Field2 ) = ""
Or you can use the example from the helpfile (which takes much longer to process compared with the hardcoded one):
operation MAKE_COLORFUL
variables
string LIST_OF_FIELDS
string FIELD
endvariables
LIST_OF_FIELDS = $entinfo($entname, PaintedFields)
while (LIST_OF_FIELDS != "")
getitem FIELD, LIST_OF_FIELDS, -1
; give this field bright colors
fieldvideo FIELD, "COL=53"
delitem LIST_OF_FIELDS, -1
endwhile
end
