reports in text windows
« Thread started on: Sep 20th, 2016, 01:02am » |

Besides attempting to change the menu bar (see 'another flaky idea'), there are other problems with printing a report to a text window.
The user can alter the report (it is a text editor), unless the style 'enable' is used, but then scrolling does not work.
I have been working on using a list box as a printing medium, both on screen and on paper. Users can not change the report, you can scroll and it's easy to lprint the report:
Code:
[teamList]
call winCntr,710,600 'center, sizes
statictext #rpt.st1, " League Division City Name Manager",0,0,700,20
listbox #rpt.lb,rptx$(, [teamListPrnt],0,20,700,560
Stylebits #rpt.lb, _LBS_NOSEL, 0, 0, 0
Stylebits #rpt, 0, _WS_MAXIMIZEBOX , 0, 0
open "LIST OF TEAMS - (click to print)" for dialog as #rpt
#rpt, "trapclose [teamListExit]"
#rpt, "font consolas 12 " 'fixed width font
#rpt.lb, "singleclickselect"
rptOpen=1
files path$, info$(
fc = val(info$(0, 1))
for cf = 1 to fc
foldName$ = info$(cf, 0)
path2$ = foldName$ + "\aaaTeam.ini"
open path2$ for input as #ini
input #ini, teamLeague$, teamDivision$, teamCity$, teamName$, teamMgr$
close #ini
rptx$(cf) = space$(6); tb$(teamLeague$,10); tb$(teamDivision$,10); tb$(teamCity$,12); _
tb$(teamName$,18); teamMgr$
next
sort rptx$(), 1, fc ' sort to league, division
#rpt.lb, "reload"
wait
[teamListPrnt]
#rpt.lb, "selectindex 0"
tlp$ = "No" ' default response
prompt "Print this report?"+chr$(13)+"Yes or No"; tlp$
if left$(lower$(tlp$),1) <> "y" then wait
[tlpLoop]
gosub [tlpHdgs]
for n = 1 to fc
lprint rptx$(n) ' this is the key line: printing each entry in the listbox
next
dump
wait
[tlpHdgs]
tlpPgCtr = tlpPgCtr + 1
lprint space$(20);"List of Teams as of ";date$();space$(10);"Page "; tlpPgCtr
lprint
lprint " League Division City Name Manager"
return
wait
For multi-page reports you would need to add title and hdg to each page, of course.

My examples have always shown the _ES_READONLY stylebit being set. Doesn't that solve this issue in a much more straightforward way than switching to a listbox?

I said 'text editor', but I am actually using a text window.
It appears that using a readonly stylebit does not work in a text window.
Can you show a short coding example, please?

Here you go:
Code: open "Read Only Text Window" for text as #w
hw = hwnd(#w)
calldll #user32, "SendMessageA", hw as ulong, _
_EM_SETREADONLY as long, 1 as long, 0 as long, r as long
#w "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
wait

I didn't knew that "readonly" bit allows select/copy operations.
It would be nice addition to JB thread
Kind of grid view - if JB allowed it that is.
But last time I tried, texteditor version worked with LBB just fine.
