Hi everyone,

I add a new report and I want to print multiple times based on parameter that I write:

1602.1111.jpg

I add this code to controller and it works:

  SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController();
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings printSettings;

    // set report name
    controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(LedgerBalanceControl, Report));

    // get print settings from contract
    printSettings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();

    // set printer as the destination
    printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);
    printSettings.printerName = "My Printer"; // specify your printer name 
    printSettings.printLandscape(true); // print in landscape orientation
    printSettings.numberOfCopies(2);    // print 2 copies
    printSettings.setPaperTray(1); // print to paper tray with index = 1 
          
    printSettings.collate(true);          // collate printed copies

    // suppress the parameter dialog to send directly to printer
    controller.parmShowDialog(false);

    // start operation
    controller.startOperation();

But I do not know how to print using the parameter that i write in the dialog.

When I write printSettings.numberOfCopies(2) print two times but I want to print based on the parameter that i wrote.

i think you need to create a UIBuilder Class and modified method getFromDialog, or postRun to get Dialog value.

Hi Krychul,

I think you can use the SSRS the contract class that you use to maintain the dialog. Then you can get the value of parameter and feed it to the printSettings.numberOfCopies().

I modified your code with a line to get number of page parameter.

Actually, you don't have to write print settings set value in the controller class. You can it in contract or RDP class because print settings object is part of the contract.

SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController();
SRSPrintDestinationSettings printSettings;
int numOfPages = 0;

// set report name
controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(LedgerBalanceControl, Report));

// get print settings from contract
printSettings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();

// get number of pages parameter. You should write parmNumOfPages() method in the contract class
numOfPages = controller.parmReportContract().parmNumOfPages();

// set printer as the destination
printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);
printSettings.printerName = "My Printer"; // specify your printer name
printSettings.printLandscape(true); // print in landscape orientation
printSettings.numberOfCopies(numOfPages); // print 2 copies
printSettings.setPaperTray(1); // print to paper tray with index = 1

printSettings.collate(true); // collate printed copies

// suppress the parameter dialog to send directly to printer
controller.parmShowDialog(false);

// start operation
controller.startOperation();

Sorry please ignore the previous code. Please refers below:

SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController();
SRSPrintDestinationSettings printSettings;

//Define contract object by contract class of your parameter

DataContractAttribute parmContract;

int numOfPages = 0;

// set report name
controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(LedgerBalanceControl, Report));

// get print settings from contract
printSettings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();

//get the RDP contract

parmContract = controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract();

// get number of pages parameter. You should write parmNumOfPages() method in the contract class of the parameter
numOfPages = parmContract.parmNumOfPages();

// set printer as the destination
printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);
printSettings.printerName = "My Printer"; // specify your printer name
printSettings.printLandscape(true); // print in landscape orientation
printSettings.numberOfCopies(numOfPages); // print 2 copies
printSettings.setPaperTray(1); // print to paper tray with index = 1

printSettings.collate(true); // collate printed copies

// suppress the parameter dialog to send directly to printer
controller.parmShowDialog(false);

// start operation
controller.startOperation();
