Section Object Event
Format Event (Section Object), Page 108
Format Event (Section Object)
The Format event is fired before the print engine starts formatting a section. In the Format event handler you can use the object model to write some code to change the outcome of the formatted section. Be aware, however, that not all of the properties and methods provided in the object model are accessible at all times in the event handler.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
|
|
|
|
IDispatch*FormattingInfo |
The FormattingInfo object which will contain formatting information to be |
|
used by the Format event handler. |

Returns
Void
Remarks
The following comments regarding Restrictions and Rules apply to Format Event:
Restrictions
The Format event handler does not have any state. No matter when or how many times it is called it will always behave the same way. It should not keep track of how many times it is called then, based on how many times it is called, change the background color. The print engine formatting procedure is very complicated and one section can be formatted many times depending on different situations.
NOTE: Because the Format event for each section may be fired more than once during page printing you should not use it to do any totaling in which values are carried over from one section to another.
There are three formatting modes:
FormattingIdle |
No formatting occurs. This can be before going to preview or print or between |
|
changing pages in the viewer. |
|
|
FormattingActive |
The start of formatting an object. The object mode is marked as formatting active. |
|
|
FormattingInactive |
When the print engine is formatting and one object is in FormattingActive mode |
|
the rest of the objects are in FormattingInactive mode. |
Since there is only one section Format event when one section is formatting all of the objects in that section are in FormattingActive mode and all the rest of the sections and objects are in FormattingInactive mode.
Rules
●The read property can be accessed in any formatting mode. (There are a few exceptions, please see the object model reference section.)
●Top level Report, Areas and Area write properties and methods can only be accessed in formatting idle mode.
●When in FormattingIdle mode you should make changes before going to preview or print. Making changes between changing pages may result in an unexpected result.
●For sections and objects within sections write property or method access is denied when the section is in FormattingInactive mode.
●For sections and objects within sections some write property or method access is permitted and some denied while the section is in FormattingActive mode. Please refer the object model reference for details.
