Printing a logo in every page of a document

[Magdalen]

Hello to everyone,
I should insert my company's logos in every page of a document printed by wxRichTextPrinting (wxWidgets 3.0.2).
The document contains only text. At the moment, I have printed the image at the beginning, but I need it in every page, at the beginning for example. Or, alternatively, I'd like to add it in the header, so that it would be in every page, but it seems not to be possible.
Would anyone know how to help me please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Magdalen

I don't think that's possible with wxRichTextPrinting. It's really designed to make printing ridiculously easy since it's extremely complicated to handle printing yourself using wxPrintout, but in this case, if you really want to power to make customizations like rendering images in headers or footers, then you really should switch to manual printouts using your own rendering and layout code.

Optionally, it might be worth contributing a patch to wxRichTextPrinting that offers a way to interrupt each page, that reserves some margin space for additional rendering in custom paint methods. I probably would have been in favor of that API instead of the current wxRichTextHeaderFooterData class back when this was first written, but it's certainly far too late for that now.

There is no easy way to do this.

I'm not 100% sure, but looking through the source code, this might work:

Derive your own class from wxRichTextPrintout and override the method OnPrintPage(). The original code looks like this:

Code: Select all

bool wxRichTextPrintout::OnPrintPage(int page)
{
    wxDC *dc = GetDC();
    if (dc)
    {
        if (HasPage(page))
            RenderPage(dc, page);
        return true;
    }
    else return false;
}

Before or after RenderPage() render your own custom content onto the page.

Derive your own class from wxRichTextPrinting(), override the method CreatePrintout() and return an instance of your wxRichTextPrintout.

However this doesn't solve the problem that the "normal" content of the page must not overlap your custom content. I see no easy fix for that, that would require even deeper changes to the related classes.

Thank you very much. I'll try yet by wxRichTextPrintout even if it seems a bit hard

Or Save XML, Parse it to add image and print with wxHtmlEasyPrinting
