fwh7.12 : Print preview problem

Antonio,

In 21-11 i reported a print problem, probably with the preview dialog when a MDI dialog as main dialog is used.

I tested it with the last 7.12 : IT IS NOT SOLVED !!!!

Making some more tests :

The preview window is behind the program window , it can not be set first.

It is possible to set it normal (not maximized) , and then drag and drop it on a second monitor. Placing it back on the first monitor , it is hided after the program window.

Frank,

If your main window is MDI then the preview will show as a MDICHILD child unless you remove the MDICHILD clause from source\classes\rpreview.prg

If you are calling your print routine from MDI .. you can use this to keep the previewer from running off.

oPRINT:lPrvModal:= .T.

Just plug this in after you define your printer object.

Hope this helps

If you are sugesting that what i described is only possible when i changed rpreview.prg : this is not true

I use the library from fwh , repreview.prg is dated from 2/11/2007

Frank,

You have to use rpreview.prg from FWH 7.10 or remove MDICHILD clause from inside FWH 7.11-12 rpreview.prg

We are planning to provide a parameter to avoid the creation of a MDICHILD for the print preview if the main window is MDI, as it may bring troubles when dialogboxes are in use

Hello,

I have upgraded to FWH 8.01 with LIBs dated 12/30/2007 and I have the same problems with print preview displayed behind dialog. What is the workaround to get this corrected.
