Printing of the plugin area

by Christian Sakowski :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hi all,

 Windows i have a problem with the event

eAE_PrintBand

On this event i call PA_GetUpdateHDC (the value returned is NOT null). I
print the area with "print form". The problem is: The print preview shows
nothing and if i print the page on a printer, the area is maybe 50x50 pixel
:-(

The 4D Plugin API is very poor. There are no descriptions of the events. Any
advices?

BTW: On Mac it works very well.

4D v11.2hf2

Reading the STR# resource of a plugin.RSR file?

by Patrick de Boer :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

All,

Does anyone have a piece of example code on how to read the STR# resource of my plugin's '.RSR' file? I need to access the plugin's API.

I know it's possible with 4D commands, but I've been unable to accomplish this with methods from the 4D plugin API.

Best regards,
Patrick de Boer.

Are you using the eAE_GetPrintSize event? You need this to report to  
4D the required height to print.

For example:

case eAE_GetPrintSize :
        area = (CPDFViewer*) PA_GetAreaReference( params );
        event->fMessage = area->getPrintSize(); // Return the height of the  
plugin area
        break;

Also make sure the section markers on your 4D form are set correctly.

You have to use GetIndString() in Altura:

Str255 pString;
GetIndString( pString, resID, index );

Or you can use the built-in 4D command in combination with  
PA_ExecuteFunction().

Hey Rob,

Thanks, that's what I had initially, but I was trying to move away from Altura :)

Any reason why it doesn't work in 4d with 'Get indexed string' ?
I thought all the resource files are linked ?

Regards,
Patrick.

Of course you can reduce its usage as much as possible.
But in my opinion you can't remove it completely if you want to get  
things done.

Hopefully in a future version all these things will be stored in XML  
files or something like that.

I don't know. Maybe because at the application level the plugin's  
resource file is not in the resource chain?
Or if you're testing with 4D v11, you should be aware that  
PA_ExecuteFunction returns a Unicode string. This is a bug that I  
reported recently.

Mmm, I'm guessing the plugin resource is not in the chain then, because I just tested it in 4D with 'get indexed string', not even by calling it with PA_ExecuteFunction.

I've also noticed that PA_ExecuteFunction behaves slightly differently from the 2004 version, in 2004 it always returned real's and now it returns integers/longints correctly (e.g. where you would expect an integer as result value).

The plugin is only inserted in the chain when it is called by 4D.

If you are using v11, PA_ExecuteFunction is old school. Use  
PA_ExecuteCommandByID instead.

Yes, i set the height of the area in eAE_GetPrintSize.

But this is not required, because on mac it works. It's the same demo
database - on mac it works; on windows not.

But why i have to tell the size to 4D? 4D knows the size, where the area is
on the form!?

I don't know whether it is required. What I do know is that I set it  
and I don't have any printing problems.

Because 4D allows the plugin area to print with variable height.  
Similar to the way text fields can have a variable print height.

PA_SetPackedRecord

by Patrick de Boer :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hi All,

Does anyone use PA_GetPackedRecord(..), PA_SetPackedRecord(..) ?

I've noticed in 4D v11.2 that PA_SetPackedRecord(..)creates a new record instead of overwriting the current record. Overwriting the current record is the behavior you would expect according to the documentation.

Regards,
Patrick de Boer.

Hi Rob,

for what is the selector eAE_TestPrintSize? I do have currently  
printing problems on Windows. Now i use PA_GetWindowsPrintingDC to get  
the printing device but my output is a picture of ca. 25% of the  
original :-(

Why is that not documentated?

If I remember correctly, it is used to indicate whether you want to  
print the area with a variable frame or not. According to my archive  
you have to pass the value 104 in the fMessage field to indicate that  
you want to use a variable frame.

Do you mean the output is drawn at a scale of 0.25? If so then I'd  
suggest to test the resolution of the device context and check whether  
you need to scale the output for printing. See the function  
GetDeviceCaps.

Do you need to scale the output? I think Canvas can be print with  
print form. Do you scale anything? Do you draw with ALTURA? I do not.
