Icetips Products: Wrong code generated in version 2.400
2006-12-05 -- Arnor Baldvinsson
 
Icetips Previewer version 2.400

In the Icetips Previewer, version 2.400 there was a nasty bug that crept into the generated code for the File|Print menu item and the two print buttons on the toolbar. The results were that when using the printer selection, the Event:CloseWindow would be posted before calling the routine to print, with unpredictable results.

In order to fix the code, please open the EVENT:Accepted event embed for the ?FilePrint menu item in the Previewer procedure. The correct code should look like this:

1. If you added the Printer Selection template when creating the procedure: 

 Do ITPPrintToSelectedPrinter   ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 !ITP:Response = True           ! Use without Printer Selection
 !Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)       ! Use without Printer Selection
2. If you did NOT add the Printer Selection template: 
 !Do ITPPrintToSelectedPrinter  ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 ITP:Response = True            ! Use without Printer Selection
 Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)        ! Use without Printer Selection
Next please open the EVENT:Accepted event embed for the ?PrintAllButton button in toolbar of the Previewer procedure. This code should be the same as above:

1. If you added the Printer Selection template when creating the procedure: 

 Do ITPPrintToSelectedPrinter   ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 !ITP:Response = True           ! Use without Printer Selection
 !Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)       ! Use without Printer Selection
2. If you did NOT add the Printer Selection template: 
 !Do ITPPrintToSelectedPrinter  ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 ITP:Response = True            ! Use without Printer Selection
 Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)        ! Use without Printer Selection
Finally please open the EVENT:Accepted event embed for the ?PrintOneButton button in toolbar of the Previewer procedure. The correct code should look like this:

1. If you added the Printer Selection template when creating the procedure: 

 !Do PrintOne                   ! Use without Printer Selection
 Do ITPPrintCurrentPageToSelectedPrinter ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 !ITP:Response = True           ! Use without Printer Selection
 !Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)       ! Use without Printer Selection
2. If you did NOT add the Printer Selection template: 
 Do PrintOne                    ! Use without Printer Selection
 !Do ITPPrintCurrentPageToSelectedPrinter ! Use this line with Printer Selection
 ITP:Response = True            ! Use without Printer Selection
 Post(EVENT:CloseWindow)        ! Use without Printer Selection

This should fix the generated code for those 3 controls. Since this bug affects end user results we would strongly urge you to check to make sure that these 3 controls work properly in your applications. This affects only previewer procedures generated with the updated wizard in version 2.400, released on November 1, 2006.
