Problem with TPrinter class

[driessen]

Hello,

I have made a report using the TPRINTER class with PREVIEW.

Just before the preview is shown, the following error is dsplayes :

Error (6) deleting enhanced metafile

Error description

I put MsgInfo() in the PRINTER.PRG and I found out that the error occurs in the next procedure :

Code: Select all  Expand view

METHOD _EndPage() CLASS TPrinter

   if ::hDC = 0
      return nil
   endif

   if ::lMeta
      if Len( ::aMeta ) == 0
         MsgAlert( "The temporal metafile could not be created",;
                   "Printer object Error" )
      else
       #ifndef __CLIPPER__
       
*         In the next line, the error occurs !!!

          DeleteEnhMetaFile( CloseEnhMetaFile( ::hDCOut ) )

       #ELSE
           DeleteMetaFile( CloseMetaFile( ::hDCOut ) )
       #ENDIF

         if ! File( Atail( ::aMeta ) )
           MsgAlert("Could not create temporary file: "+Atail(::aMeta)+CRLF+CRLF+;
             "Please check your free space on your hard drive "+CRLF+;
             "and the amount of files handles available." ,;
             "Print preview error" )
         endif
      endif
   else
      EndPage( ::hDC )
   endif

return nil


Does anyone know what the reason is for this problem ?

Thanks.

probably a pageend() is executed twice

Look for a duplicated ENDPAGE

Thank you very much, guys.

Indeed I used ENDPAGE twice.

Problem solved.
