Question

print widget extension

I need a print widget extension which takes "mashup entity" as input. 

 

I found some print widgets which takes screenshot of the current page. As scroll bar appears in mashup to see all the rows in collection widget, taking screenshot wont help. So we need a print extension which takes input as mashup, so that we can pass new static mashup in print widget to take print out.

If you need a "widget" to be used in a mashup (that's how I read your post) you can have a look at https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Taking-screenshot-and-downloading-the-page/m-p/873613/highlight/true#M62256 who created a widget to trigger the "print" function in the mashups.

Hi @AP_10343008 

 

I think we don't have the functionality to check print dialog box close event in Thingworx. 

 

As a workaround, you can create a separate mashup with the container closed/removed. Whenever a print button is clicked opens a Thingworx popup with a modified mashup and from there user can take a print. The only disadvantage is user has to click the print button 2/3 times.
