Minor annoyance with Previewer

rbuser

The CalculatedZoomPercentage seems to return values that are quite a
bit off when .ZoomSetting is either zsPageWidth or zsWholePage. This
became very noticable when I created a customized previewer. Try
this:

Change the report to zsPageWidth. Look at the percentage value that
is displayed in the MaskEdit field. Now type that exact percentage in
the MaskEdit field. The preview changes! The zoom percentage is the
same but when ZoomSetting is zsPercentage then you forget to consider
the scrollbar.

Now, change to zsWholePage and enter the exact value that is in the
MaskEdit. Once again the preview is different even though the
zoompercent is the same. In this case, you forgot to allow deadspace
at the bottom of the form.

Is this all WAD?

Hi Bill,

I was able to recreate this issue. I will research it further and get back
to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

I have played with the code and found that the biggest reason for most
of the issues has to do with the dead area. Some code is using
EightInch and other code uses QuarterInch. Other places use
(deadarea * 2) while others use just deadarea.

I worked out 99.9% of the problems with some code changes if you are
interested.
