Description

Use the pageHeights property to determine how much to scroll a field during printing.

The value reported by the pageHeights property is a list of numbers separated by returns. Each number is the height in pixels of a page full of text.

You can use the pageHeights property to print the entire contents of a field by printing the field, setting the field's vScroll to the first line of the pageHeights, printing the field again, setting the vScroll to the current vScroll plus line 2 of the pageHeights, and so on.

The computations used by the pageHeights property assume the field's borderWidth property is set to zero and its margins is set to 6.
