Ask, VIRTUAL
The Ask method displays a Print Options dialog that prompts the end user for print specifications, then prints the selected lines subject to those specifications (printer destination, paper orientation, etc.).
Implementation:
The Ask method prompts the end user for print specifications (including the Windows standard Print Setup dialog), print preview, plus a range of lines to print. If the user CLICKS the Print button, the Ask method prints the requested lines to the printer specified by the end user.
Example:
ACCEPT
CASE FIELD()
OF ?PrintButton !on “Print” button
IF EVENT() = EVENT:Accepted !call the Printer.Ask method
IF ViewerActive THEN Viewer.Printer.Ask. !to gather specs and print lines
END
END
