VP PRINT


VP PRINT ( vpAreaName {; sheet} )

Parameter	Type	Description
vpAreaName	String	4D View Pro area name
sheet	Longint	Sheet index (current sheet if omitted)

Description

The VP PRINT command opens a print dialog window to print vpAreaName.

Pass the 4D View Pro area to be printed in vpAreaName. The command will open the system print dialog window where the printer can be specified and the page properties can be defined.

Note: The properties defined in the print dialog window are for the printer paper, they are not the printing properties for the 4D View Pro area. Printing properties for 4D View Pro areas are defined using the VP SET PRINT INFO command. It is highly recommended that the properties for both the printer and the 4D View Pro area match, otherwise the printed document may not correspond to your expectations.

In the optional sheet parameter, you can designate a specific spreadsheet to print (counting begins at 0). If omitted, the current sheet is used by default. You can explicitly select the current spreadsheet or entire workbook with the following constants:

Constant	Value	Comment
vk current sheet	-1	Designates current sheet of the 4D View Pro area (default)
vk workbook	-2	Designates the entire workbook of the 4D View Pro area.

Notes:

4D View Pro areas can only be printed with the VP PRINT command.
Commands from the 4D Printing theme are not supported by VP PRINT.
This command is intended for individual printing by the final end user. For automated print jobs, it is advised to export the 4D View Pro area as a PDF with the VP EXPORT DOCUMENT command.

Example

The following code:

VP PRINT("myVPArea")

Will open a print dialog window:
