orientation head first

rbuser

hi,

anyone knows how to set the orientation head first in code ?

i know how to do it at runtime (adjusting the printer properties), but in
the code ???

thanks

Do you mean simply changing the Report.PrinterSetup.Orientation property, or
is there an option in your specific printer driver setup menu? RB is only
aware of the TppPrinterSetup. However, you can get at the DevMode
structure. Here is an example:

Hi Jim,

What i have is a Avery Dennison label printer (64-06), and i want to print
landscape AND head first orientation, which means upside down.

With Printer.PrinterSetup.Orientation, i can only type poLandscape.
And i can set this "head first" or "foot first" in the printer properties.
But off course, i want to set this in code.

Thanks for helping.

Peter

You'll have to hack the DevMode structure which is given in the example link
in the previous post:) Sorry, just RB doesn't have native support for
"head first" or "foot first."
