Description

DFSetNumberOfCopies determines the number of copies to printed. This method is normally sent inside of Starting_Main_Report

Function Starting_Main_Report Returns Integer
    Boolean bErr
    Send DFSetMetrics wpm_cm
    Send DFSetmargins 1 1 1 1
    Send DFSetLandscape true
    Send DFSetNumberOfCopies 3
    Forward Get Starting_Main_Report to bErr
    Function_return bErr
End_Function // Starting_Main_Report

If a report is printed from the viewer, the number of copies can be set by the user within the print job dialog.

The DFGet and DFSet messages and the WinPrint2 global object.

All of the cWinReport2 DFGet... and DFSet... messages set the state of the global WinPrint2 report object (the WinPrint2 report engine). It is not setting the state of the report object (i.e., these methods are not setting report object properties). Since many reports in an application will use the global WinPrint2 object, you must set and get the state of this object when your report object has control of it. The best place to do this is inside of the Starting_main_report event.
