Usage
ShowHeadFoot takes effect when the control is in preview mode or when it is in edit mode for the main text. If the control is in preview mode, calling ShowHeadFoot returns to edit mode.
The headerfooter argument is ignored if the editheadfoot argument is false. The headerfooter argument defaults to "true" if a value is not provided. The header and footer can include input fields for page numbers and dates.
For a DataWindow control, ShowHeadFoot has no effect if the DataWindow object does not have the RichTextEdit presentation style.
Examples
This example displays the header and footer editing panels, allowing the user to specify the contents of the footer:
rte_1.ShowHeadFoot(TRUE, FALSE)
The following script inserts the current page number in the footer, then returns the focus to the body of the document in the rich text control:
rte_1.ShowHeadFoot(true,false)
rte_1.SetAlignment ( Center! )
rte_1.InputFieldInsert("PAGENO")
rte_1.ShowHeadFoot(false,false)See also
