How to add 'warning message' when someone use print option in pdf using LC Designer

[WiscMadtown]

I am using LC Designer and trying to edit in pdf form to add warning message while someone use print option

And I can-not figure out how to add description when someone does that.

is it something related to 'xfa.host.messageBox("Blah Blah")'

Thanks in advance

Yes that is the format of a message box to the user ...what event are you placing this warning on?

I am just placing warning when someone tries to print to remind them they have to do something.

So for print button the command line goes something like this

form1.#subform[0].PrintButton1::click - (JavaScript, client)

xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

xfa.host.messageBox("This is my message!")

----------------------------

And that only works for 'print button' of LC Designer and not of ctrl+p or file/print

You will need to put the message on the prePrint event not on the click event......that is why it is only firing when the click the Print button.

hmm.................I even tried doing that way

form1.#subform[0].PrintButton1::click - (JavaScript, client)

xfa.host.messageBox("This is my message!")

xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

I assume that is what you mean but it still does not work for all print options

Let me know if you meant something different

Thanks

All you have done is rearrange the statements in the Click event of the button .....I am referring to an event called prePrint. This event is called before the print is done ...this is where your message shoudl go. Then on the click event you can have your normal print command. Here is a sample
