When the Print button is clicked, the user is presented with a printing dialog to generate a PDF copy that can be stored locally or printed. There is no default printing capability in PerfectApps so, if you want to allow users to print all or some of the app instance, you must add a Print button. See the Print Button reference topic for a complete list of this button's properties and their uses.
 |
A Print behavior command is also available. You may assign the Print behavior to some event on the app or object on the app. See Print reference topic for more information. |
