oPrn:SayBitmap with resource ?

[TimStone]

I am using the Printer class. I want to put a symbol at the beginning of a line ( checkmark ). The symbol ( and its counterpart ) are compiled in my resources.

I use the following to load the resources in a bitmap ( it works great for other purposes ):

aIBmp := { LoadBitMap( GetResources( ) , "INOK" ), LoadBitMap( GetResources( ), "INNO" ) }

Now I want to print out that checkmark so I use:

oPrn:SayBitmap( nRow, 5 * nCsp, aIBmp[1] )

In theory this should work. ( I have no problem printing external resources ). It doesn't. Do I need to get the value some other way from my resource so I can use it here ?

Thanks.

Consider this code .. you will have to use FreeImage.dll

Code: Select all  Expand view

DEFINE IMAGE oImg RESOURCE "DOG"
      oPrint:SayImage( Line, (oPrint:nHorzRes()*.80), oImg,800,600 )

It's most likely that the bitmap is too small for the printer. Try adding width and height parameters to SayBitmap() method.
