Re: Printing ListBox that is longer than a single page
Oliver, Thanks for pointing me in your direction. Your FSUty utility component is a treasure trove of utilities. As for using Uty_PrintListBox, I’m not sure it will work in my particular case as the list box is built in the on load phase of the form while printing making creating the print settings obj difficult and I think may over complicate the process. Print Object works well in a repeat loop.

AW: Printing ListBox that is longer than a single page
Hi John, The component "FSTypeahead" contains a component "FSUty". This component contains a utility method called " Uty_PrintListBox". This method prints the visible columns of a listbox using print object. It adapts the column width to the available space (horizontally) and does the necessary page breaks. The nice thing about doing it this way: its fully generic. You can download it from here: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/B7C6589918CD438E95737E069CB5A0D4W It's free and open source.

Re: Printing ListBox that is longer than a single page
OK. I got it working. Perhaps this might be of help to someone else in the future. My list box is an array based list box which is being populated at print time. The listbox on load form event uses LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN and a few object commands to build the listbox with previously populated arrays. I got it to work with the following… PRINT SETTINGS $printed:=0 If (ok=1) OPEN PRINTING JOB If (ok=1) FORM LOAD([_Constants];"HouseCallsFirstNames.Print") Repeat $end:=Print object(*;"HCFirstNameReport") If (Not($end)) LISTBOX GET PRINT INFORMATION(*;"HCFirstNameReport";lk last printed row number;$printed) If ($printed=42) PAGE BREAK End if End if Until ($end) End if CLOSE PRINTING JOB End if Note that for this to work the loading of the listbox has to be in the listbox on load event, not the forms on load event.

Printing ListBox that is longer than a single page
I want to print a form that contains a single listbox. How do I make the list box print beyond the first page? Works great if the list fits on a single page, but only prints the first page if it is longer. I have the listbox fully inside the detail area and have tried using PRINT SELECTION and Print Form. There is a text variable that needs to print as well above the listbox. Looks like I need to use Print Object but need an example of how/where to use it.
