ProcessAnalyst printing

Jan Lonij

I have a PA trend page like:

I would like to hide the toolbar on top:

and use the print icon on top:
 

The AN number of the PA page is AN139

I have this code:

FUNCTION PrintProcessAnalyst()

OBJECT hAnalyst;
hAnalyst = ObjectByName("AN139");
_ObjectCallMethod(hAnalyst , "Print", "");

END

but when I press the printer button on top nothing happens.

I call the function like:

Any idea how to fix this or how to call the print dialog from the toolbar using the print icom on top?

    Hi Jan,

    You can untick the 'Include Legend" checkbox here: Set up Report Legends

    From memory, the options you choose are also persisted in the PAV file. So if you save a PAV file with this option "off" and then use that as a basis for future PAV files, then the legend will be always off. (I haven't tested, but I believe that will work)

    Note: We have discovered that in Windows 11 22H2 and later Microsoft has made a breaking change which updated the Print dialog to a  modern one, but dropped support for customisations. The Process Analyst adds 2 custom tabs to the print dialog for "Legend" and "Report" and these are no longer accessible. You can modify the registry to restore the original behaviour:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Print\UnifiedPrintDialog]
    Add a new DWORD key "PreferLegacyPrintDialog", with a value of 1.

    We will aim to fix that as soon as we can.

    Perfect memory !

    This works.

    Thanks.
