Hi, my original quest was to print a table view with pagination and headers,
but when I initially tried it, I didn't see how I could include the column
headings in it, and found on the lists the suggestion to use a WebView and put
the data in there to print it.
When I tried it, I see that it just puts the content in the middle of the page
and I haven't got my headers and footers in there. I am trying to print
[[[webView mainFrame] frameView] documentView] as per the mailing list item I
found, but I also see that the frameView has:
• – canPrintHeadersAndFooters
• – printOperationWithPrintInfo:
• – documentViewShouldHandlePrint
• – printDocumentView
But I'm really not sure how to use these methods to achieve my printing needs -
the documentation doesn't appear to be very useful for understanding this.
The fact that these methods are reading the values rather than having setters,
means that I will presumably have to create a subclass of the frame view and
use that, but I am loading the document directly using the loadHTMLString which
gives me a pre-populated hierarchy and I'm not sure how I would intercept and
put my own class in there, if that is what I need to do.
My WebView has a single table in it.
Briefly, my needs are as follows:
- print headers and footers on the page
- print the content at the top of the content area even if it's shorter than
the page
- ensure pagination doesn't split table rows
I am quite familiar with the knowsPageRange, rectForPage, etc, so if I can get
access to that machinery, I should be all set.
Are there any examples that show how to achieve my needs as outined above, or
any other suggestions about accomplishing this)?
Thanks
Gideon
