PaperOrientation – PB Docs 2019

Applies to

RichTextEdit

Description

Sets the orientation of document pages inside the control by
switching the values for PaperHeight and PaperWidth.

Usage

In scripts

The PaperOrientation property takes an OrientationType enumerated
value. Permitted values are PaperPortrait! and PaperLandscape!.

If you set the value to PaperPortrait! and the current PaperWidth is
larger than the current PaperHeight, PowerBuilder switches these values so
that the PaperHeight is larger. If you set the value to PaperPortrait! and
the current PaperWidth is smaller than the current PaperHeight,
PowerBuilder does not exchange these values.

If you set the value to PaperLandscape! and the current PaperHeight
is larger than the current PaperWidth, PowerBuilder switches these values
so that the PaperWidth is larger. If you set the value to PaperLandscape!
and the current PaperHeight is smaller than the current PaperWidth,
PowerBuilder does not exchange these values.

The following line sets the display orientation of a RichTextEdit to
landscape.

By default, the value you set for PaperOrientation is used for
printing as well as for screen display. The value in the Orientation
drop-down list on the Print Specifications page of the Rich Text Object
dialog box changes to the orientation value that you set for this
property. Application users can modify print specifications from the Rich
Text Object dialog box at runtime, but only if you set the PopMenu
property of the rich text object to true.
