XFRX version 12.6

Release date: 01 August 2008

New features / Updates

• Full justification is now supported in PDF, Word output, picture export and the XFRX previewer
  Add <FJ> into the comments of the fields you want to full justify.
• Absolute layout boxes in Word output are now automatically expandable
• Picture rotation is now supported in VFP 9.0, using the new SP2 designer user interface
• XFRX Previewer
  • Hyperlink decoration can now be suppressed on the printer output
    A new property has been added to the XFCont, cntXFRXMultipage and frmMPPreviewer classes: UnderlineHyperlinksOnPrint. You can use the following values:
      0 - no decoration for hyperlinks
      1 - display "normal" hyperlinks in blue, but do not decorate custom event hyperlinks (green)
      2 - (default value) decorate both blue and green hyperlinks
    
    To support this, the PrintDocument method of the XFRX#DRAW class has a new parameter, tnUnderlineHyperlinksOnPrint, with the same values and logic.
  • Custom buttons can now be added to the XFRX previewer toolbar at runtime
    This feature is implemented using the extension handler mechanism: A new method is now supported - ToolbarOnInit, which is invoked at the time the toolbar is initialized. In this method the extension handler can add new buttons to the previewer and their click events can be bound with other methods in the extension handler. A new property is now supported, too - oPreviewContainer. If it is available, the previewer will automatically fill it with the XFCont object reference for easier access to the previewer properties in the custom buttons click event methods.

    Example:

    
    
    use demoreps\sales
    local loSession, lnRetval, loXFF, loPreview, loScripts
    loSession=EVALUATE([xfrx("XFRX#LISTENER")])
    lnRetVal = loSession.SetParams(,,,,,,"XFF") && no name = just in memory
    If lnRetVal = 0
    	REPORT FORM demoreps\sales object loSession
    	*
    	* the XFRX#DRAW object reference is stored in oxfDocument property
    	*
    	loXFF = loSession.oxfDocument
    	*
    	* initialize the previewer 
    	*
    	SET PATH TO xfrxlib
    	SET CLASSLIB TO xfrxlib ADDITIVE 
    	loPreview = CREATEOBJECT("frmMPPreviewer")
    	*
    	* setup the extension handler
    	*
    	loPreview.oExtensionHandler = CREATEOBJECT("SampleExtensionHandler")
    	loPreview.windowtype = 1 
    	loPreview.iTool = 2 && embedded toolbar
    *	loPreview.iTool = 1 && standard toolbar
    	loPreview.PreviewXFF(loXFF)
    	loPreview.show(1)
    ENDIF
    
    DEFINE CLASS SampleExtensionHandler as Custom
    
    	oPreviewContainer = null
    
    	PROCEDURE ToolbarOnInit
    	LPARAMETERS toToolbar
    	LOCAL button
    	IF toToolbar.AddObject("mybutton", "commandbutton")
    		BINDEVENT(toToolbar.mybutton, "click" , this, "ButtonClicked")		
    		toToolbar.mybutton.tabindex = 1
    		toToolbar.mybutton.Visible = .t.
    		IF UPPER(totoolbar.BaseClass)!="TOOLBAR"
    			toToolbar.mybutton.left = toToolbar.cmdQuit.left
    			toToolbar.cmdQuit.left = toToolbar.mybutton.left + toToolbar.mybutton.width
    		ENDIF		
    	endif
    
    	PROCEDURE ButtonClicked
    	LOCAL lcString
    	lcString = "this.oPreviewContainer.Name: "+this.oPreviewContainer.Name+CHR(13)
    	lcString = lcString + "current page: "+TRANSFORM(this.oPreviewContainer.nPageNo)+CHR(13)
    	lcString = lcString + "XFRX#DRAW Object: "+this.oPreviewContainer.oXFRXWriter.Name+CHR(13)
    	lcString = lcString + "Page count: "+TRANSFORM(this.oPreviewContainer.oXFRXWriter.PageCount)+CHR(13)
    	WAIT WINDOW lcString
    *	
    *	this.oPreviewContainer.oXFRXWriter.PrintDocument(...)
    *	this.oPreviewContainer.oXFRXWriter.SavePicture(...)
    ENDDEFINE
