Problem with print metod

Post by jonlars »

Hello,
I'm using pdfcreactivex.dll version 3.0.3.4 with Powerbuilder 10.5.2 and have problems when users cancel the print dialog.
We got ”Error calling external object function print at line 17 …”.
The only code on line 17 is
ole_invoice.Object.Print("", true)
If the user don’t cancel it works. If we change to false it works but we want to be able to change printers.

Any suggestions?

Hello

When the user cancels the print job, the Amyuni Creator throws an exception which the developer needs to handle.

Hope that helps?

How do I handle that i PowerBuilder?
I get the error before I can handle any exceptions.

It is possible to trap errors by using

TRY CATCH (see PowerBuilder documentation appropriate for your PowerBuilder version)

or

using the systemerror event of the application object

Example code for systemerror event

Code: Select all

/*
Error property	Datatype	Description
ClassDefinition	PowerObject	An object of type PowerObject containing information about the class definition of the object or control. 
Line	Integer	Identifies the line in the script at which the error occurred.
Number	Integer	Identifies the PowerBuilder error.
Object	String	Contains the name of the object in which the error occurred. If the error occurred in a window or menu, Object will be the same as WindowMenu.
ObjectEvent	String	Contains the event in which the error occurred.
Text	String	Contains the text of the error message.
WindowMenu	String	Contains the name of the window or menu in which the error occurred.
*/

error l_error
l_error = error
string ls_error

ls_error = &
"Object " + l_error.Object	 + &
" ObjectEvent " + l_error.ObjectEvent + &
" Line " + string( l_error.Line ) + &
" Error Number " + string( l_error.Number ) + &
" Error Message " + l_error.Text + &
" WindowMenu " + l_error.WindowMenu

messagebox( "Error", ls_error )
