Need help with programming the custom button control.

i want that when the button is clicked,

- the completed form is saved to a location on my computer in pdf with a field name as the file name

- the form is also printed to the default printer, on A4 size, and 2 copies

to print two copies. just call twice

this.Print();

to  save file to your local system

Thanks a lot Anis.

I am a medico legal professional and am working on a template for autopsy report. So I am less than even a novice at this.

So if u dont mind, just guide me where to insert the code that u have suggested. Below is the last line of the page I get when I click on the EDIT FORM CODE button of the properties of the custom button.

_function CTRL345_5::OnClick(eventObj) { // Write your code here }_

Also Cud u help me that how can I adjust the export code so that it names the file with the autopsy number as default.

Thanks a lot again.

can you attach the form template so that i can have a look at you, and tell you what eactly to do,

the file is attached. did it the way i understood.

tell me if some other way of attaching the file.

the below code is in c#;

if your template doesnt have any other code, just remove the previous code (go to tools -> form options -> programming -> click remove code)

after that change the form template code language to c#;

and insert the below code at proper places 

//for printing the form. If you need two copies just write the statement once again

// saving to location in pdf format

string save_location = "C:\\new folder\\"+autopsy_no+".pdf";

attached is your template and code behind. you will need to specify the path of your new code. unzip g_v_.._fix.zip save it to some location. then open the template go to tools -> form options -> browse and browse to the folder where you saved the unzipped attachment. and point to the sln file in there.

Sorry for posting the attachments on two posts. i had initially forgot to post both the attachments and later i could find option to attach the second one also.

Hi Anis

Its me again

Cant enable C#

dont have visual studio or vsta

can u help me with a code in Jscript/ VB script

Sorry, computer languages are just black alphabets for me

check this to check how you can install VSTA on your machine. VSTA is shipped with office installations.

Thanks for all the time and efforts, Anis.

I have been able to change the form language to C#, and entered the code as u said.

But clicking the button is not saving the file as intended.

Template is attached.

Hi Prasad,

Guess I am missing something, or is the box actually empty.
