Friends ,

I made an utility to save documents ( pdf,Office,openofice,Image,ecc) linked on a record for a sample I have a customer archive and each customer can have some documents linked .

then on my edit dialog of customer I made a buttons where I insert as prompt " 13 documents" and pressing this button it open this dialog




On this dialog you can see different sections :

each document can be drag and drop into or load from menuitem is on buttonbar on bottom or impoted from memory ( clipboard)
each document can be open by a popmenu and the procedure see on your computer wich applications is installed for a sample for the images -> infarview,office 2010, paint,.



..or your default application selected as you make every day on window system



the procedure check if there is a twain peripheral installed on your computer and you can scan the document ( it run also with webcam) and you have 3 levels ( 150 dpi with gray scale,150 dpi with color, avanzate scan and set if save as pdf or image



you can erase or renamed a file saved

you can show the document as big , small icons and list file as you can see here



if a document is an image you can show it and use the zoom



and print it on rpreview - you must set the sizes of image to print before to print




and the print the image





the question

Now I wish print each type of the document directly

How I can make it?

sample : if you select a doc file you can print the document directly without open the office installed

Someone have a solution ?


the question 2

wich utility I can add on this utility ?

Silvio,

for printing, did you try shellexecute?
Shellexecute(nil, "print", cFile)

With cFile as the path and file to your document.

But I guess it would open the associated program for printing.
