Hi everyone,
i'm trying to find out how to use wxPrintout with wxHtmlDCRenderer. I wrote this simple code for testing, but the result is a white page.
Code: Select all
clsPrint::clsPrint(wxString title) : wxPrintout(title) {}
clsPrint::~clsPrint() {}
bool clsPrint::OnPrintPage (int pageNum) {
wxDC *dc = GetDC();
wxHtmlDCRenderer hdc;
hdc.SetDC (dc);
hdc.SetSize (hdc.GetTotalWidth(),hdc.GetTotalHeight());
hdc.SetHtmlText ("<BODY>this is a test-text</BODY>" );
wxArrayInt pb;
hdc.Render ( 700, 700, pb);
}
By th way: "dc->DrawText()" works.
Has anyone an idea what the problem might be?
Regards,
Frank

I haven't tested it, but these two lines look suspicious:
Code: Select all
hdc.SetSize (hdc.GetTotalWidth(),hdc.GetTotalHeight());My guess is that hdc.GetTotalWidth() is still 0 here. Try dc->GetWidth() or hardcoded values for a test.
The parameters give the position, not the dimensions. Shouldn't that be 0,0 ?
Use the source, Luke!
