Hey Lynda! Where did ya get the code to print that?
Right here at the home of:
TExcellentFormPrinterVersion A.1
For Borland Delphi and C++Builder
Hey Bob! I am getting a blank sheet when I try to print a Form!
- We had better get this fixed today or we will all be looking for another job!-
Sound familiar? If it doesn't, then you probably have not yet deployed your
application out into the real world!
It is not a print driver problem!
You may have heard experts claim "It's a print driver
problem". We have found that 99 precent of the time...
It is not a print driver problem!
Sure! You can try...
You can try using GetFormImage or Form.Print. Try dropping a ComboBox down
on a form, then call GetFormImage or Form.Print. *If* you get a printout,
do you see the text in the ComboBox? No? Neither does anyone else! This
is only a small example of the problems you will encounter when printing
VCL forms.
You can also try using Borland's TI-3155 "A better way to print a form".
I wrote the TI when I worked at Borland as a stop gap measure.
While it will print the combobox text, it will fail
on many printers, it can't print the entire form if your
user has resized the form, and it can't print VCL forms that
are hidden from view or is located partially off the screen. The code
basically produces a screenshot, and to print an image reliably,
you would probably want to take a look at our
TExcellentImagePrinter product!
Why? Simply put, it can require a couple of thousand lines of low
level graphics code to get bitmaps to print well under Windows.
It's your choice! Unhappy customers and product returns due to printing
issues can be very costly! Why spend months of time and thousands of dollars
hiring a print driver expert to develop a commercial grade print engine when
the solution is available right here!
So what's so special about TExcellentFormPrinter?
TExcellentFormPrinter was originally written by a former senior engineer at Borland
International's developer support group, and you can believe that he knew the
ins and outs of the VCL's printing problems! He has also written many Windows
print drivers and graphics engines, and knows all about the low level calls
of the Windows printing system, so he can deliver a reliable printing solution
for all your image printing needs!
