Title: Print preview doesn´t work anymore
Post by: Juergen Kuehlwein on August 06, 2014, 03:13:57 PM
Hi Jose,

i added and changed a lot in CSED to meet my specific needs, but left CSED_princ.inc untouched so far. Print Preview isn´t working anymore now. In your original version it does work! So what could i have crashed elsewhere in order to make print preview not work anymore.

As far as i can tell the problem seems to be this line: (CSED_Print.inc)
Code Select

  IHTMLDocument2_WriteString(pHTMLDocument2, strText)


"strtext" holds the expected data (this i can verify - the created html code shows without error in e.g. firefox), but it doesn´t show up in preview (print preview window shows up, but without code content).


I changed the main message pump (in CSED.bas - Winmain), could this be a problem ? I guess - No,  print preview uses it´s own ("pPrint.DoEvents") - right ?


There must be something else i changed and didn´t notice it´s dependency for print preview.


Maybe you could give me a hint which are the requirements for print preview to work.


Thanks

JK

Jose,

just replaced my file with your original file (CSED_Print.inc) - compiles, runs but doesn´t work either, I´m somewhat out of ideas, what could be wrong... (must be somewhere else).


Any help woulde be appreciated...

Now i tried a workaround: save html data to a temporary file and use "pIWebBrowser2.Navigate2" like this:


Code Select


  ...
  strUrl = "file:///" + EXE.PATH$ + "print.dat"
  vVar = strUrl

  pIWebBrowser2.Navigate2(vVar)



this is what i get:

Jose,


changing the file name from "print.dat" to print.htm" makes it work now like a charm (the workaround code). I still would like to know, why "IHTMLDocument2_WriteString(pHTMLDocument2, strText)" doesn´t work for me.


Thanks

Are you calling the print/preview dialog from a thread?

I have added a afxDoEvents to solve it.
