Smartform with multiple windows

[former_member282730]

Hi All,

             Here is my requirement:            

Window0

Window1

Window2

Window3

Window4

Window5

Window6

Window7

Window8

In this layout, All windows have to filled with categorized data. Suppose for window1 there are 8 records and all other windows have 5-6 records to be filled, then for the first time all windows should be filled with <= 6 records and rest of the records should be printed in next extended page with all windows but only window1 filled with records and rest blank.

Here every window is having different data to be filled.

number of records to be filled may or may not differs for each window.

Can we achieve this requirement in smart forms? Or Adobe is an apt....?

Please suggest me a solution to complete this requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sai,

If I properly understood your requirement you need to have multiple page printing for all those windows. Unfortunately Smartform does automatic multiple page printing only with main window, not a secondary one, and we can't have more than one main window at same form. You could programmatically reproduce multiple page printing for non-main windows, I did it once, but it requires some tricky hand made job and also has a limitation (what defines the final number of pages is always the main window), please let me know if you want to try this way.

Another option you could try, but not sure it would fit your layout requirements, is to have a single main window and place all your data (originaly from all other windows) in it.

Thanks Edgar for your response. You have understood exactly what i am trying to explain.

Even i tried in a different ways to achieve this requirement by manipulating window properties, table data and all, but nothing worked.

Actually i have suggested to go with a single main window with all dynamic data into it, but as you said it will definitely disturbs the required layout so not accepted by our client.

It would be helpful to me if you provide me the tricky solution you were saying in your thread. I would definitely like to try that.

Thanks in advance.

Solved it my self.

Created multiple pages and piece of logic in each window made this possible..this is not suggestible but my requirement has to be done at any cost and that to only in smartforms. so I have to go with that option...

Thank you all...
