The data binding is performed with the DataSource property. You can either program in the assignment of these or use the Properties window in your IDE. If you have already created a DataSource in your form, you can select it from the Properties window. The necessary link is created automatically.
You can now implement the program code for starting the design and print. To do this, you can, for example, include the Print or Design method call in the Click event of a new button, without any additional parameters. The data from the assigned source can be made available automatically.
// Show Designer
DBL29_1.AutoDesign('Invoice');
// Execute print
DBL29_1.AutoPrint('Invoice','');
If you want to modify the standard flow of data-bound printing, there are several properties you can use. These begin with "Auto..." and are found in the data section of the Properties window.
