Hi all,
I would like to print in a single sheet of paper information comming from a RichEditWithToolBar but also comming from DrawText (PrinterJob ) instructions, like this:
On the top of the page I would like to print a custom header using DrawText (PrinterJob ) and in the second half of the page print the contents (a short document) of a RichEditWithToolBar.
Is this possible? How do I mixe the two printing methods?
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Hi again�

As nobody till now contribute with a solution or a advice (I am a beginner�) I think (with my little knowledge) that Print method of the RichEdit must be virtual, what do all of you think? And it must receive the printer job handler, right? Thus, if if someone wants to print something external to the RichEdit control he or she could rewrite the print method and print what he wants in conjunction with the contents of the RichEditControl. I have tried this but code is very complex and confusing I think�

RichEditWithToolbar calls Print of RichEdit then it call print of no class in RichEditView� It is difficult for me to make this virtual and supply the printer context already initialized. Anyone with a better solution?

My test case is this: I have a dialog with some 2 sets of edit boxes and a RichEditWithToolbar. The user write a letter in the RichEditWithToolbar and the first set of edit boxes are the source address and the second set of edit box is used to fill the target address. Both addresses and letter must be printed in the same paper sheet at specific location in order to position the target address in a transparent plastic window of the envelop.

Any solutions or advices would be appreciated,

Alex

Not using RichEditWithToolBar. Just get your own toolbar and replace the print button (reusing all other buttons in the process).

It might sound complex, but is really simple. Look at RichEditWithToolBar implementation.

(RichEditWithToolBar is meant for "simple cases" only).
