- Yo MacApp Dudes,
-
- In the last few weeks I've seen several questions about printing complex
- view structures go unanswered. And after trying to print a complex view
- structure myself I now know why. Perhaps by giving a specific example based on
- a demo program some concrete solutions will surface.
-
- The Calc demo program is an excellent example of a view structure not
- uncommon in Mac Applciations - A data area encased by column tiles and row
- titles that scroll "together". In fact USynchScroller is intended specifically
- to support just such a structure where multiple scrollers coordinate multiple
- views. Unfortunately this is a very difficult view structure to print in
- MacApp and Calc's solution is to only prints the "interior" of the spreadsheet,
- refusing to print the column or row titles. In fact any view hierarchy that
- has multiple scrollers can be tough to print.
-
- The problem is not so much that TStdPrintHandler wants a single view to
- define the view to be printed, but that scrollers limit the size of the printed
- view to their size and translate the view to their translation. Perhaps There
- is a cheap way to make scrollers "invisible" during printing.
-
- If anyone can suggest a real way to print views such as in Calc I would
- greatly appreciate hearing about it.
-
- Thanks
