Hi @ all,

am i stupid but i don't know how to print a simple formpage. I
implmented a printing action. but I don't know how to paint the widgets
with the gc object. How can I print SWT widgets?

My code so far:

PrintDialog pd = new PrintDialog(LowSummaryPage.this.getSite().getShell());
PrinterData printerData = pd.open();
if (printerData != null) {
Printer printer = new Printer(printerData);
if (printer.startJob("SWT Printing Snippet")) {
if (printer.startPage()) {
GC gc = new GC(printer);

//What to do here???
printer.endPage();
printer.endJob();
gc.dispose();
}
}
}

I hope anyone can help. I don't find any resources how to print some
widgets diplayed on my page, only how to draw text or rectangles:(((

Thanks, Johannes

Hi

Unlike other Widget toolkits, SWT does not support the painting on other
contexts than the screen. I implemented printing using the image copy
functionality (however, it's very limited).

Another possibility is to print out all data needed by drawing on the
grapics context of the printer.

Hope this helps
