- Sub: Fuzzy Font Printing Problems
-
-
- Hello Fellow MacAppers,
-
- Once again some strange quirks are keeping us up late at night with
- frustration. This time is deals with printing.
-
- We've taken two grid views and put them in a superview, and side-by-side, much
- like the TRow and TCell views of the calc demo, then attached this view
- heirarchy to a custom print handler. (We created our own print handler
- primarily to override the AdornPage method.)
-
- We have the printed pages looking like we want them to, with page headers,
- columns etc... but the print of the characters in our view structure is...
- well, funny, for lack of a better description. It's as though the printer is
- printing with a dark gray pattern instead of a solid black pattern, and the net
- result is a print with 'small holes' in the letters, making the image look like
- a bitmap. (Sounds strange, I know, but most of my pleas for help have been
- bizarre!). We've tried setting the ForeColor, the RGBColor, the PenPat, and
- all the fontstyle fields, but to no avail. We know its something to do with
- our view structure because the text we print in the AdornPage method is
- perfectly fine. Does anyone have any clues as to the source of the problem?
-
- Off to another separate subject... we have been trying to use the
- TCellSelectCommand and TRowSelector objects from the calc demo in our app, but
- the highlight region for the cellsview always ends up to be one cell, not a
- whole block of rows. Thus, when another cell is selected and the old region is
- deselected, the screen gets very messy fast. Any clues there, either?
-
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
