Detailed Description

Class for printing on the Windows printer.

Library: ilvprint
There are two different ways to set the windows printer that you want to target: either by calling setPrinterDescription() or by setting an IlvWindowsPrinterDCFactory instance to this IlvWindowsPrinter object.

Examples using this class are provided in the samples/foundation/printing directory.

See also
IlvPrinter, setPrinterDCFactory().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ IlvWindowsPrinter()

IlvWindowsPrinter::IlvWindowsPrinter ( IlvDisplay display)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of IlvWindowsPrinter.

§ ~IlvWindowsPrinter()

IlvWindowsPrinter::~IlvWindowsPrinter ( )

Destructor.

The destructor releases all the memory used by the instance.

Member Function Documentation

§ checkErrorStatus()

virtual IlBoolean IlvWindowsPrinter::checkErrorStatus ( ) const
virtual

Checks the error status of the printer.

Returns
IlTrue when the status is no error, IlFalse otherwise.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ getPaperHeight()

virtual IlvDim IlvWindowsPrinter::getPaperHeight ( ) const
virtual

Returns the height of the paper.

Before using this method,the internal attributes of the IlvWindowsPrinter instance must be initialized through a call to IlvPrinter::initializeSettings().

Returns
The height of the paper.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ getPaperSize()

virtual IlvRect IlvWindowsPrinter::getPaperSize ( ) const
virtual

Returns the size of the paper.

Before using this method,the internal attributes of the IlvWindowsPrinter instance must be initialized through a call to IlvPrinter::initializeSettings().

Returns
The size of the paper.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ getPaperWidth()

virtual IlvDim IlvWindowsPrinter::getPaperWidth ( ) const
virtual

Returns the width of the paper.

Before using this method,the internal attributes of the IlvWindowsPrinter instance must be initialized through a call to IlvPrinter::initializeSettings().

Returns
The width of the paper.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ getPrinterDCFactory()

IlvWindowsPrinterDCFactory* IlvWindowsPrinter::getPrinterDCFactory ( ) const

Gets the Windows printer factory.

Returns
The factory used to create the printer DC if no printer description is given.

§ getUsableArea()

virtual IlvRect IlvWindowsPrinter::getUsableArea ( ) const
virtual

Returns the physical printable area.

This is the real size of a sheet of paper minus the printer's borders.

Before using this method,the internal attributes of the IlvWindowsPrinter instance must be initialized through a call to IlvPrinter::initializeSettings().

Returns
The usable physical printable area.
See also
IlvPrinter::initializeSettings().

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ initializeSettings()

virtual IlBoolean IlvWindowsPrinter::initializeSettings ( )
virtual

Initializes the settings of the printer.

If a printer has been chosen using the setPrinterDescription() method and an IlvWindowsPrinterDCFactory instance has also been set on this IlvWindowsPrinter object, then most of the settings set in the factory will be ignored. Only the printing orientation set in the factory will be taken into account.

Returns
IlFalse if an error occurred, IlTrue otherwise.
See also
setPrinterDCFactory().

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalInitClip()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalInitClip ( IlvRect const &  newClip)
protectedvirtual

Sets a new clip to the printer.

This function is called by IlvPrinter::setClip.

Parameters
newClipThe new clip.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalInitialize()

virtual IlBoolean IlvWindowsPrinter::internalInitialize ( )
protectedvirtual

Does specific initializations for the dump device.

Returns
IlFalse if an error occurred, IlTrue otherwise.
See also
initialize().

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalSetClip()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalSetClip ( IlvRegion const *  newClip)
protectedvirtual

Sets a new clip to the printer.

This function is called by IlvPrinter::setClip().

Parameters
newClipThe new clip.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalSetMargins()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalSetMargins ( IlvDim  left,
IlvDim  right,
IlvDim  top,
IlvDim  bottom 
)
protectedvirtual

Implements the actual physical margins for the printer.

Parameters
leftThe left margin.
rightThe right margin.
topThe top margin.
bottomThe bottom margin.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalSetOrientation()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalSetOrientation ( Orientation  orient)
protectedvirtual

Implements the actual printing orientation change.

Parameters
orientThe new orientation.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalSetPaperFormat()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalSetPaperFormat ( IlvPaperFormat const &  format)
protectedvirtual

Implements the actual paper format selection.

Parameters
formatThe new paper format.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ internalSetTransformer()

virtual void IlvWindowsPrinter::internalSetTransformer ( IlvTransformer const &  transformer)
protectedvirtual

Sets a new transformer to the printer.

This function is called by IlvPrinter::setTransformer().

Parameters
transformerThe new transformer.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ makePort()

IlvPort* IlvWindowsPrinter::makePort ( ) const
virtual

Creates the printer port used in this class.

Returns
The printer port.

Implements IlvPrinter.

§ setPrinterDCFactory()

void IlvWindowsPrinter::setPrinterDCFactory ( IlvWindowsPrinterDCFactory factory)

Sets the Windows printer factory.

If a printer has been chosen using the setPrinterDescription() method, then only the printing orientation set in the factory will be taken into account. All the other settings set in the factory will be ignored.

Parameters
factoryThe new factory used to create the printer DC if no printer description is given. This object is not responsible for the destruction of the factory.

§ setPrinterDescription()

void IlvWindowsPrinter::setPrinterDescription ( char const *  printerDescription)

Sets the Windows printer description.

Parameters
printerDescriptionThe Windows description of the printer. It typically comes from IlvGetWindowsPrinter.
