Reports

[AlphaBase]

Does LiveCode support printable reports, as in header-detail-footer and nested grouping?

If so, could someone point me to the documentation?

Thank you

Hi.

You might start with the "revPrintText" entry in the dictionary. There are also about a million other "print" related entries.

But others will have more input as to reports and report tools and templates.

Hi AlphBase. Sorry, no report builder in LC. You have to write your own custom solution. Here's a 1-card printing stack taken from a LiveCode tutorial I wrote. It includes demo code for printing reports, text, fields, and cards. Maybe it'll help. The complete tutorial is at the web address below.

A recent similar request received a suggestion to use a substack strategy populating fields positioned in the substack and printing the card for the report. A demo for a substack report is included in the attachment. Terry.

This is my guide to revPrintText: http://livecodeitalia.blogspot.it/2014/ ... gri_2.html
you can translate to your language using translate button in the top right of the page.

There is also Report builder included in livecode 7: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Report_Builder
