Footer

[IDEAL Software Support]

Hi,
I am just evaluating VPE standard latest release (3.60),
using Delphi 6. When attempting to print past the bottom
margin, a blank line was appearing, which I presume was
the footer.

I don't want the footer, so I attempted to disable the
printing of the footer. I thought that I read that the
recommended way was to use SetDefOutRect. (Also after
each new page). I attempted to do this, but it did not
appear to disable the footer, and did not appear (in debugger)
to alter the bottom margin position at all.

I then attempted to set just the footer value, and this
appears to work OK.

THIS DID NOT WORK :

vpe1.SetDefOutRect(vpe1.nLeftMargin, vpe1.nTopMargin,
vpe1.nRightMargin, vpe1.pageHeight);

THIS DID WORK :

vpe1.nBottomMargin := vpe1.PageHeight;

Questions.

1. Why didn't the SetDefOutRect work?

2. Is my solution satisfactory?

3. Is it possible to just disable the footer?

Regards,
Brian

PS: Very impressed with VPE thus far. Looks exactly like
what I have been wanting - control to the programmer.

It is not exactly clear to me, what you are trying to do and what you
are trying to achieve, but if

vpe1.SetDefOutRect(vpe1.nLeftMargin, vpe1.nTopMargin,
vpe1.nRightMargin, vpe1.pageHeight);

does not work, but

vpe1.nBottomMargin := vpe1.PageHeight;

does work for you, then the solution is to call vpe1.SetOutRect()
instead of vpe1.SetDefOutRect(). The SetDefOutRect call only applies to
newly added pages, not to the current page.
