pageHeights

Type

property

Summary

Reports the height of each printed page if a field is printed.

Syntax

get the pageHeights of <field>

Description

Use the pageHeights property to determine how much to scroll a field during printing.

The value reported by the pageHeights property is a list of numbers separated by returns. Each number is the height in pixels of a page full of text.

You can use the pageHeights property to print the entire contents of a field by printing the field, setting the field's vScroll to the first line of the pageHeights, printing the field again, setting the vScroll to the current vScroll plus line 2 of the pageHeights, and so on.

The computations used by the pageHeights property assume the field's borderWidth property is set to zero and its margins is set to 6.

Examples

set the height of field 1 to line 1 of the pageHeights of field 1
