Hi everybody!
This is my first post to this list.
I'm trying to make a "Printing-Template" with the GUI in BOA-..
in W2K with Python 2.2.2, wxPython 2.4.0.7 and a fresh CVS-version of BOA-..
Is it possible to get/paint a wxPrinterDC with contents from a wxFrame
"painted"
with ordinary objects like wxStaticText, wxStaticBitmap and wxStaticLine?
This wxFrame (template) isn't shown ( I only create it tempory with
MyFrameTemplate.create(self) ).
I tried to do things like create a wxBufferedDC before _init_ctrls in _init_
of the "Boa-Frame"
and also added an OnPaint event and a DoDrawing method (with "Blit-magic")
to be able
to follow the Demo example "PrintFramework" (based on wxScrolledWindow)...
I'm totaly lost now!!
Does anybody got some hints (if it's possible to do it)?
When I started to dig into this, I thought that I could get a copy with
something like:
context = wxClientDC( MyFrameTemplate )
and copy it into the DC created with self.GetDC() in
MyPrintout(wxPrintout):OnPrintPage
with some "Blit-method".
Like this:
.
.
.
import MyFrameTemplate
class Main(wxFrame):
.
.
.
def OnSysprintbtnButton(self, event):
printData = wxPrintData()
printData.SetPaperId(wxPAPER_A4)
ft = MyFrameTemplate.create(self)
printout = MyPrintout( ft )
printout2 = MyPrintout( ft )
preview = wxPrintPreview(printout, printout2, printData)
pvframe = wxPreviewFrame(preview, self, "This is a print preview")
if not preview.Ok():
print("Houston, we have a problem...\n")
return
pvframe.Initialize()
pvframe.SetPosition(self.GetPosition())
pvframe.SetSize(self.GetSize())
pvframe.Show(True)
class MyPrintout(wxPrintout):
def __init__(self, frame):
wxPrintout.__init__(self)
self.frame = frame
.
.
.
def OnPrintPage(self, page):
dc = self.GetDC()
# This "block" is only about scaling
(fmaxX, fmaxY) = self.frame.GetClientSizeTuple()
marginX = 50
marginY = 50
maxX = fmaxX + (2 * marginX)
maxY = fmaxY + (2 * marginY)
(w, h) = dc.GetSizeTuple()
scaleX = float(w) / maxX
scaleY = float(h) / maxY
actualScale = min(scaleX, scaleY)
posX = (w - (fmaxX * actualScale)) / 2.0
posY = (h - (fmaxY * actualScale)) / 2.0
dc.SetUserScale(actualScale, actualScale)
dc.SetDeviceOrigin(int(posX), int(posY))
context = wxClientDC( self.frame )
memory = wxMemoryDC()
bitmap = wxEmptyBitmap( fmaxX, fmaxY, -1 )
memory.SelectObject( bitmap )
memory.Blit( 0, 0, fmaxX, fmaxY, context , 0, 0)
memory.SelectObject( wxNullBitmap )
dc.DrawBitmap( bitmap, 0, 0, True )
dc.DrawText("Page: %d" % page, marginX/2, maxY-marginY)
.
.
.
The result is some strange "screenshot" from my desktop in the preview 
TIA
