    DataproviderThreadedness 
    DefaultDefaultFont

    Default font. The handle needs not be valid after the API call, an own copy of the font will be used. This font can be set by LL_OPTIONSTR_DEFDEFFONT.

    Default: GetStockObject(ANSI_VAR_FONT)

    DefaultPrinterInstalled

    Returns if a default printer is present on the system.

    DelayTableHeader

    See DelayTableHeader Property

    DesignerExportParameter

    In order to enable the direct preview within the designer, you have to set LL_OPTION_DESIGNEREXPORTPARAMETER for the export from the designer.

     

    See the Programmer's Manual, chapter 'Direct Printing and Export from the Designer'.

    DesignerPreviewParameter

    In order to enable the direct preview within the designer, you have to set LL_OPTION_DESIGNERPREVIEWPARAMETER for the preview of real data.

     

    See the Programmer's Manual, chapter 'Direct Printing and Export from the Designer'.

    DesignerPrintSingleThreaded

    If your data source only allows single threaded access, you must set LL_OPTION_DESIGNERPRINT_SINGLETHREADED to TRUE.  This will be used by List & Label, so that during the preview calculation no export is possible, and vice versa.

    See the Programmer's Manual, chapter 'Direct Printing and Export from the Designer'.

    EscClosesPreview

    TRUE:

    "Escape" key closes the preview window.

    "Escape" key does not close the preview window (Default).

    ExpandableRegionsJobParameter 
    ExpressionSeparatorRepresentationCode

    Character code of the character that is used to divide an expression in multiple lines in the formula assistant.

    ForceFontCharset

    TRUE:

    All fonts in the system are being offered in font selection combo boxes (see also LL_OPTION_SCALABLEFONTSONLY).

     

    FALSE:

    Only the fonts are displayed which support the charset of the default LCID (see LL_OPTION_LCID) (Default).

    InterCharSpacing

    TRUE:

    The space between the characters for block justified text will vary.

     

    FALSE:

    Only the width of blanks between words will be varied (Default).

    LCID

    When you set this option, the default values for locale dependent parameters are set accordingly (inch/metic unit, decimal point, thousands separator, currency symbol and fonts (see LL_OPTION_FORCEFONTCHARSET)). It also defines the default locale for the Loc...$() and Date$() functions.

    Default: LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT.

    MaxRtfVersion

    See MaxRTFVersion Property

    Metric

    See Unit Property

    NoAutoPropertyCorrection

    TRUE:

    Interdependent properties can be set independently. This option is sometimes required when working with the DOM object model to prevent automatic property switching. If e.g. the font of a paragraph is set to a Chinese font, the property "Charset" would be automatically switched accordingly. If this is not desired, use this option to switch the behavior.

     

    FALSE:

    Setting interdependent properties mutually influences each other (Default).

    NoFileVersionUpgradeWarning

    This option defines the behavior of the designer while opening a project file from an older version of List & Label.

     

    TRUE:

    Conversion takes place without user interaction.

     

    FALSE:

    A warning box is displayed to the user, telling that the project file will not be editable by an older version of List & Label once it has been saved with the current version (Default).

    NoNoTableCheck

    TRUE:

    For a list project, List & Label does not check whether at least one table object is present.

     

    FALSE:

    List & Label does the check and returns LL_ERR_NO_TABLEOBJECT if the project contains no table. (Default)

    NoParameterCheck

    TRUE:

    List & Label does not check the parameters passed to its DLL functions, which results in a higher processing speed.

     

    FALSE:

    The parameters will be checked (Default).

    NoPrinterPathCheck 
    NoPrintJobSupervisionHere you can choose whether the printing supervision is activated or not. See also PrintJobInfo Event
    PhantomspaceRepresentationCode

    Character code of the character that represents a "phantom space".

    SkipReturnAtEndOfRtf

    RTF texts may contain blank lines at the end.

     

    TRUE:

    These are removed (prevents doubled spaces at the end of the RTF).

     

    FALSE:

    The blank lines are printed.

    UIStyle

    See DialogMode Property

    Units

    See Unit Property

    UseBarcodeSizes

    TRUE:

    Some barcodes have size limitations (minimum and/or maximum sizes). If this option is set to TRUE, the user is allowed to switch on the size limitation feature so that resizing the barcode object will only allow sizes in the standard size range.

     

    FALSE:

    All sizes can be set (Default).

    UseHostprinter

    TRUE:

    List & Label passes all printer device operations to the host application, which then has more freedom but also more work. See LL_CMND_HOSTPRINTER.

     

    FALSE:

    List & Label manages the printer device (Default).

    UseSimpleWindowsPenStyleFrameDrawing

    TRUE:

    The standard simple frame lines for tables and objects such as dotted, dashed, dashed-dotted, and dashed-dotted-dotted are more effectively output directly by Windows and the PDF viewer, respectively. May result in higher overall performance and smaller export files when creating reports.

     

    FALSE:

    Uses a custom drawing method (individual objects) to output frame lines. This can lead to better results when outputting to printers (Default).

    VarsCaseSensitive

    See VarsCaseSensitive Property

    VirtualDeviceScalingOptions

    This option is important for optimizing text placement in environments without printer drivers (see Printerless). Too small a magnification can lead to "poor" placement accuracy of output, a too large one (option value between 72 and 2400) can result in objects or parts of them not being output. In any case, you should check the results in the target environment.

     

    The following values can be used:

    Value Meaning
    0x00 The project is rendered 1:1 in the selected size with the screen device context as reference with the resolution/size of the screen context - can lead to inaccuracies in the placement of outputs if they are calculated using the device coordinates (default).
    0x01 The resolution for the output is converted so that it is optimally fitted to the size of the screen device context.
    0x02 The resolution for the output is converted to fit the size of the screen device context exactly, provided that the resolution does not have to be reduced for this purpose.
    72-2400 The resolution for the output in DPI.
    XlatVarnames

    TRUE:

    Special characters in variable and field names will be converted to "_" (Default).

     

    FALSE:

    Variable and field names will not be modified. That has a speed advantage depending on the number of variables and fields.
