Label Wizard

edited March 2003 in End User
Hi,

it's possible to make a "Custom Label wizard" available for end-users?
I need to become possible answer to user all the measures of the label,
there's nothing already ready for that? :-)

Thanks
Claudio

    Here is an example of registering a replacement for the label wizard and its
    form:

    Thank for your answer!

    I have another question about definition of new label format:
    This is the comment that I found in the source code:

    {LabelType,Name,Width,Height,MarginTop,MarginBottom,MarginLeft,MarginRight,O
    rientation,RowSpacing,Units,Columns,ColumnPositions }

    but I don't understand what is the meaning of UNITS parameter...could you
    help me?

    Thanks All

    Units is simply the units the the report is using, ie. inches, millimeters,
    centimeters...Read the current units enumeration by reading the Report.Units
    property.

    Thank for answer again!

    I found in ppAvStd.pas the label definitions, but in my opinion some
    parameters are missing.
    For example take this code-defined label:

    'Shipping,8164,4,3.33,8.5,11,0.5,0,0.16,0,0,0,1,2,0.16,4.35',

    Label Type, Shipping,
    Name, 8164,
    Width, 4,
    Height, 3.33,
    Margin Top, 8.5,
    Margin Bottom, 11,
    Margin Left, 0.5,
    Margin Right, 0,
    Orientation, 0.16,
    Row Spacing, 0,
    Units, 0,
    Columns, 0,
    ColumnPositions1,
    ?? 2,
    ?? 0.16,
    ?? 4.35

    What is the meaning for the last three parameters?

    Thanks

    The last parameters should be the column positions for the different
    columns. 2 columns, the first column position is 0.16 and the second is
    4.35.
