Solved: Smart form - Main window - Is it essential !

Former Member · ‎08-23-2006

Hi all,

I am working on smart forms.The point I want to clear is if it is essential to use the MAIN window.

What happens if I avoid it.

I mean I dont put any data into it.

Please clarify me.

Thanks in advance.

hi Bharat,

You avoid deleting that window .. but it doesn't matter whether you are making use of that window or not ??? ... No harm if you donot pass any data on to that ...

I think you should have atleast one main window in a smartform, no matter you pass some data to print or not.

You can have a main window, with no data being passed from the driver program.

If hte data ever flows to hte next page, the main window will contain it. Main window is a dynamic window.

The only option in that case is main window. The overflowing data cannot go into other window.

I will explain the main problem in my case.

I need to have color on the background for every table header.

I tried to do it normally, but it is not allowed with templates and tables.

So I went on creating windows!

Does anyone have an alternative for this problem!

Thanks,

Dear Bharat,

Main window is the most important. If you want that data to overflow in your next page, MAIN window is the only place.

Deva,

Does it mean that in case data overflows on next page, I have no solution except to use main window.

I mean if a table has many rows to display and it overflows the page!what then!

Thanks,

Bharat
