Setup Window page from BSP. E.g.: Orientation: Portrait-Landscape

[Former Member]

I have to set the Window page attributes from BSP.

E.g.: I have to use Landscape orientation and specific

margin values. And my BSP application should be able

to set these values automatically.

How can I do it?

Thanks for any help!

To make it clearer: Do you want to influence the settings of the Print dialog if the user presses the print button? If you wan't that I think that there is no chance with HTML. Try to use a PDF File for output.

Hello,

what I think of:

In the menu of the window:

File->Page Setup->Orientations (and Margins)

I already realized that it's not possible to set it nor from HTML neither from ABAP(?). But isn't there some

Java solution for it? I mean if I open a new window with

JavaScript isn't there some attribute of the window.open()for set these values?

Anyway lot of thanks!

Hi Pal,

first of all JavaScript has nothing to do with Java.

With JavaScript and the window.open() function you're able to influence some parameters of a new window. It is often used to define the size of a pop-up. Another thing you can do is hide some browser-bars.

What you are trying to do is influence the print-setup of the page. And to my knowledge this is not possible with html or JavaScript.

Even Java won't help a lot. If you are using a Browser all you can do is make Java generate html and JavaScript. If you are not using a browser but some own GUI you should be able to do this, but that is beyond BSP...

The only way I could think of for doing this is using some weird ActiveX-Control which is taking over control of IE...

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

For html, JavaScript and so on have a look at http://selfhtml.teamone.de (afaik only available in german)
