[Badara Thiam]

Hello,

I just try to use DeviceCapabilities() with FWH and Harbour,
but failed. Who know how use it please ?
The manual not help me.

Badara,

Have you tried it this way ?

DeviceCapabilities( <cDevice>, <nCapability>, <@cBuffer> ) --> <nRetCode>

Antonio,

I have tried this but DeviceCapabilities() return -1
Here i put the printer name in cDevice.

When i put the driver print file name instead,
DeviceCapabilities() return 0, but before
i have the message "Could not load driver".

In my tests, the nCapability is DC_ORIENTATION
and cBuffer is an empty string ("") before to call DeviceCapabilities()

Regards.

Anotonio,

Perhaps this can help to find the problem :

- PrnPortrait() don't work
- PrnLandscape() don't work

Regards.

Badara,

Please try this:

MsgInfo( DeviceCapabilities( cPrinterName, DC_ORIENTATION, 0 ) )

and tell me what value you get, thanks

[Badara Thiam]

Antonio,

Your sample return -1

Please try this example:

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oPrn

   PRINT oPrn NAME "Continuing testing..."
      oPrn:SetLandscape()
      PAGE
         oPrn:Say( 20, 20, "This is a test in Landscape" )
      ENDPAGE
   ENDPRINT

   PRINT oPrn NAME "Continuing testing..."
      oPrn:SetPortrait()
      PAGE
         oPrn:Say( 20, 20, "This is a test in Portrait" )
      ENDPAGE
   ENDPRINT

return nil
