Printer Sample
Compiling
To compile the example:
- Launch EiffelStudio.
- Select Use existing Ace (control file) and click OK.
- Browse to Eiffel52\examples\wel\printer\.
- Choose Ace.ace
- Choose the directory where the project will be compiled, by default the same directory containing the Ace file.
If you select another directory than the default one, please copy icons (*.ico) and resource files (*.rc) from the
default directory (the one containing the Ace file) to the new
one.
- Click OK.
Running
After launching the program, a window will be displayed as illustrated above. Selecting "Print" from the "File" menu will open a print dialog which will
allow you to specify a printer and additional print information before printing the contents of the window.
Under the Hood
MAIN_WINDOW inherits WEL_FRAME_WINDOW and
the feature `on_paint' has been redefined to display the ouptut in the client area. A WEL_PRINT_DIALOG is used to retrieve the print options before the printing occurs
through the interface provided by a WEL_PRINTER_DC.
This sample contains the following classes:
