Description
Gets the total number of pages when a DataWindow object is being viewed in Print Preview. This number is also the number of printed pages if the DataWindow object is not wider than the preview window. If the DataWindow object is wider than the preview window, the number of printed pages will be greater than the number PageCount gets.
Syntax
PageCount ( )
Return value
Long. Returns the total number of pages.
Usage
PageCount applies to Print Preview.
Calculating the page count
The vertical size of the paper less the top and bottom margins is used to calculate the page count. When the print orientation is landscape, the vertical size of the paper is the shorter dimension. If the DataWindow object is not set to print preview, then the size of the control determines the page count.
Examples
This expression returns the number of pages:
PageCount()
In the DataWindow object's footer band, this expression for a computed field displays a string showing the current page number and the total number of pages in the report. The result has the format Page n of total:
'Page ' + Page() + ' of ' + PageCount()
