MSflexgrid to small in exe and Preview printout runs pagecount up instead of just priniting one page

[Harry_Clipper]

Hallo all,
sorry for my english...
I'm using VFP9 SP2

I have 2 problems:
1) I use msflexgrid on some forms (mandatory).
When I run it in VFP all my rows and cals are exactly so width and high as it should be.
In compiled exe the rows and col are very small:

here how it looks in the compiled exe:

should look like this in VFP environment:

It is all the same code!

Have anyone an idea how this comes?

2) I wanted to use Preview on some printouts.
I found this code :
************ start snippet **********7
LOCAL loRepPreview, loRepListener
loRepPreview = NULL

DO (_ReportPreview) WITH loRepPreview

loExtension = NEWOBJECT("MyInWindowFixer","preview_fixer.prg") && Contains the Class defined above

WITH loRepPreview
.Caption = "Druckvorschau"
.TopForm = .T.
.CanvasCount = 1
.ZoomLevel = 5
.Width = myform1.width + 200
.height = myform1.height + 100
.ToolbarIsVisible = .t.
ENDWITH

loRepPreview.SetExtensionHandler(loExtension)
loRepListener = NEWOBJECT('ReportListener')
loRepListener.ListenerType = 1
loRepListener.PreviewContainer = loRepPreview

Report Form anlage Range 1,1 NOCONSOLE OBJECT loRepListener &&Noconsole Preview

RELEASE loRepListener
RELEASE loRepPreview
******************* code snipped end **********
when I run the report with the above code i see the pagecounter runs up to 500 pages before I stop it.
It should be just one page.

When I run the report with :
Report Form anlage Range 1,1 NOCONSOLE preview

it just prints one page which is correct.

Have anybody an idea how this comes?

Thank you to all in advance.

then it prints one page (there should not more than one page)

when i run it with the

Hello all,

I solved it!

I want to let you know:

1) Solution for MSFLEXGRID to small in exe:
I have an sizer in the form but this gives a big problem because of the pixel to twips relation. The sizer worked strictly on pixel but flexgrid works with twips.
I removed the sizer from the form and than it works.

2) while printing, pagecount runs up when using preview reportlistener:
The solution was to shrink the height of the report (report consist only of head-band) to max 27,5 cm. Then the report got printed correctly with the rportlistener.

There is a diffenerenz in behavior from report form ... range 1,1 noconsole preview to Report Form ..... Range 1,1 NOCONSOLE OBJECT loRepListener in the max-length of the report.
