Printing in Windows XP

[Guest]

Does anybody know how to print the lines of a TMemo in Windows Xp?

I checked the "Printers" unit and there is not an implementation of DoEnumPrinters so I tried to implement one myself using the Windows function "EnumPrinters", but I cannot figure out which unit to add to the "uses" section so that it works correctly.

I don't think it's WinApi or Windows, because I' ve tried it  and it couldn't find the function.

1. Goto {$LazarusDir}/components/printers. You will find the Printer4lazarus package file there.
2. To print the context of a memo there are no standard methods or procedures. All you can do is put the contents of the memo on the printer canvas.

Putting the contents of your memo to the printer You could do something like:

Code: [Select]


begin
  Printer.BeginDoc;
  Printer.Canvas.TextOut(20, 20, 'Some line of text!')
  Printer.EndDoc;
end;

To print the next line of text find the height of the text with

Code: [Select]

Printer.Canvas.TextHeight('Gg'); and it this to the Y coordinate of the TextOut function.
