Printing a window without displaying it????

[iainmc]

I am trying to print out a canvas/window. I can do this but only if the window is open and on the screen at the time.

Is there anyway to print this canvas without displaying it to the user? I have tried to go to the block on a button click and then do_key('print') and then move back to my block i want the user to stay in but it prints the wrong screen

Any ideas, anyone?

This question really belongs in the Oracle Developer forum. Did you add a "synchronize;" after your go_block? Unfortunately it might display the canvas to the user (I would play with resizing or hide_view to correct that), but it should print the right one.
