Dynamically Adjusting form element before printing

Is there any way to adjust the positioning of form elements based on register data before printing?


For example I have a width and height field on an item and would like to set the xpos and ypos of one of the form elements based off this number before printing the form. Is there any way to do this?

I recall I had tried doing a recordupdate on the docvc register awhile ago and it caused crashes.

Hello, Neil.
You can try next:
1. Create special menu procedure that get window record and prepare and update DocVc record as You wish.

2. Run PrintDocument() procedure.

I not recommend change DoPrint... procedure to updated state, because that cause the problems with threads.

Vadym's suggestion is probably the best you can do at the moment since we don't have such feature as a default.
