To Manuel Mercado regarding TCLIPPRT class
Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 08:44 AM

I'm trying your library TCLIPPRT: is simple, and it means that is great for me.
I am a beginner in FWH, so i can't change radically my way of developing reports from Clipper way.
For this reason, i'd like to use TCLIPPRT for my simple text reports as first step.

One question: how can i use different fonts in the same print? Is it possible or not?
I haven't find this issue in the example and i tried modify the code without success...
Is it an insurmountable limit of TCLIPPRT or i can try something ?
Another: have you other (more complex using different size, fonts, etc.) examples of TCLIPPRT use ?

All your docs and suggests are welcome for me!

Thanks

Max

Hello Max:

The idea with TCLIPPRT was just to emulate in Windows the printing code I used in Clipper/DOS. As in Clipper you only can use a single font (any) with some attributes (Double Width, Condensed, Double Strike, etc.).

Perhaps later I could implement mixed fonts in a single line (and other facilities), but by now is not possible. Anyway, you can try to modify the class and I'll be glad on helping you.

Best regards.
