Autopagebreak

[alanguille]

We just change our VPE Version from 3.10 to 3.60 and AutoPagebreak seems to behave differently in 3.60 : when autopagebreak mode is on, if y < bottommargin and y2 <> vfree (and y2 > bottommargin) and (y + "renderheight") > bottommargin, a page break is done and the program is then in a dead end (as on the next page, we start again with the same y...)
Accordingly to your help, a page break should occur only if y2 is set to VFREE (or y > VBOTTOMMARGIN but it is not the case here), so I wonder if it is a bug of the version 3.60, as it was working as expected in 3.10.

We have many programs potentially impacted.

This behaviour was changed in v3.20 back in January 2002.

If you look at the current manual (of v3.60) it is written there:

Text / RTF is broken to the next page only if
nBottom of the object > nBottomMargin

If your program runs into an endless loop, you should set the AutoBreakMode = AUTO_BREAK_NO_LIMITS while processing the event, or you should modify the OutRect.

Does this help?

Thanks for your answer.

We have already started to correct some of our programs by setting AutoBreakMode = AUTO_BREAK_NO_LIMITS while processing our event and, as it seems to be the only solution, we will correct all of them this way.
