printing

Indicates whether the form is currently printing.

This value toggles from off to on just before printing. Any computes that rely on this option are updated before the form prints. This allows you to make computed changes to the form just before it is printed.

This option is not saved or transmitted as part of the form. Instead, it is automatically created each time the form is read into memory, and is maintained only during display or processing.
