Hi all,

I am developing in vb6 and I'm looking a way to print "tiffs" that are located in BitmapViewer controls.

I've tried with the printer.paintpicture method but it doesn't accept tiffs... :'(


Anyone knowing a solution?


Thanks a lot


Davy.

In fact you can use Printer.PaintPicture. To do it, pass BitmapViewer1.Bitmap.Data.Picture into it.

Hope this helps.

Is there any possibility to print the content of the BitmapViewer control in a delphi application?
I tried the DrawOnHDC method, but I get errors when I'm trying to print graphics greater than 400x400 pixels

Code:
procedure TMainForm.Print;
 var APrinter: TPrinter;
   SrcX, SrcY, DstX, DstY: Double;
begin
//  MessageDlg('Printfunctie is nog niet beschikbaar', mtInformation, [mbOK], 0);
  APrinter := TPrinter.Create;
  APrinter.BeginDoc;
  DstX := 800;
  DstY := 800;
  TiffViewer.Bitmap.DrawOnHdc(APrinter.Handle, 0, 0, DstX, DstY, 0, 0, 400, 400,
    CombineModeCopy, InterpolationModeMediumQuality);
  APrinter.EndDoc;
  APrinter.Free; 
end;

I get the following error:
'Method DrawOnHdc failed. Some unexpected error occured. If you see this message, please contact [email removed]'

Sounds strange. Try to resize the image first instead of specifying different rectangles in DrawOnHdc.

When I resize, or when I try to copy exactly from the BitmapViewer to the printer, I still get the same errors

Please excuse me for a delay with an answer.

I still cannot reproduce the problem. A simple delphi project where this problem reoccurs would be helpful...

By the way, try also to convert the image to 24-bit RGB pixel format (objBitmap.Data.ConvertTo24bppRgb).

I now downloaded the GraphicsMill for .NET. I assume that I can use my Graphics Mill 2 license key...

I have seen that version 3 does support printing...

The license key will not work, but everyone who purchase Graphics Mill after 15th of July, 2004 will get free upgrade.

The printing control is not included into this pre-release version, but it will be available in the final version.

P.S. If you have any feedback for the Graphics Mill for .NET, please post it in the Graphics Mill for.NET forum.

Do you send the license key by email?
When do we get it? We want to use the new bitmapviewer as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Please submit case.

Note, this is just a pre-release version. So it still may contain some bugs. You can start writing the code though (since the API will not be changed).
