Help with Print Devices

rbuser

I use an activex which prints a map in 2 ways:
1. Either copying to clipboard
2. or Printing to a device handle (e.g. screen or printer)
The second method is much better in quality.
Is there a way to use the handle of a printer with RBuilder (v.6.03).
I intend to use RBuilder for previewing purposes and print to the
printer directly. Could this be accomplished with a RBuilder Print Device?
I created a Print Device and in the DirectDrawImage procedure i put in
the following code:
OutputMap(FCanvas.Handle,.....) in order to send the image from the
ActiveX to the printer.
When i print the report nothing gets printed.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could try to use the TWPaintbox found at

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rcl/twpaintbox.zip

This components gives you access to a canvas with its OnDrawPaintbox event.
The canvas is set to the printdevice precision.

I tried it with TWPaintbox but the print quality is not good enough.
Is there any other way?
