Tech Note: Dynamic Print Selection Using 4D Write Pro (Revised Jan 5th, 2023)
PRODUCT: 4D Write Pro | VERSION: 19 R7 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: November 30, 2022


Print selection is one of the most commonly used features in 4D applications. Based on the predefined list-form layout, the data can be printed as many times as the number of records in the selection. It also allows the grouping of data using the break and accumulation feature. In one application, there might be several forms that are created for one specific printout. Making any changes to an existing print layout or creating a new printout is not a quick process. It involves touching so many parts of the code and forms. This technical note offers a new way to build a printout that is comparable to the traditional print selection using 4D Write Pro. The implementation minimizes the amount of coding while promoting the data-driven design approach.
