hi friends

i wish to create a printing function for my desktop application.
i used the desktop only.dll file. and i used this code:-

printer.New1
printer.PrintFile(AppPath&"\01.jpg")

when i run my program print function is executing successfully but the output of the print is not the image i selected. i got three pages with fully encrypted text. i searched the basic4ppc help page. i got this statement from there Printing is done with PrintFile which prints a text file and PrintString which prints a given string. but i want to print a selected image or document.
can you help me?

I suggest that you find a PC application that will accept a command-line string which specifies that a named file is to be printed on the default printer.

I cannot suggest such a program but you can do your own searches. Once you have found and installed it then call it using the "Shell()" command.

HTH, Mike.

I did understand what you want to do.

When the print button is pressed read the image into a Bitmap. Use CopyImageToClipboard to get the image to the Clipboard, Use PasteBitmap to get it into a document and then print it from there. The demo file with the library shows how to print.

You could also use my http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...ktop-graphics-printing-library.html#post20467 which handles graphics and images more elegantly than RichTextDesktop and use a DrawerEx to draw an image to the page to be printed.
