Add Printing of Workbook function to Report Generation Toolkit

Hello all

Currently the Report Generation Tookit allows you to print excel/word documents.

However, when printing excel files it always prints the worksheet.

In some cases, it is a big advantage in printing the whole workbook instead just the current worksheet.

When printing the whole workbook at once, the page index at every single worksheet automatically count’s up. (page x or page x of y changes automatically and takes all worksheet’s into account)

 

This can be done in changing the reference from worksheet to workbook in the internal report generation function.

I have done that by myself, in my LabVIEW environment. It’s an easy thing. However, it has to be done for any single Computer using LabVIEW and in any single LabVIEW version installed on that computer.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to just change the report generation “print” vi and save it in my library/ project, since it’s owning the report generation classes. If the vi is saved outside the original class library you get a broken arrow…

 

So I really hope that you all also like this idea!
