Re: [vwnc] MockMedium and Printing Problem

Hi Stewart,

I have a table that I have done in VW. I attached a picture of the UI. Basically, when you hit the print button, it should have the table widget print itself out on the graphics medium - which is the printer. It started working when I got a new image, although I think the borders are getting clipped.

Here's the code:

print
| ps cmp mainWindow mainCmp |

mainWindow := Window currentWindow.
mainCmp := mainWindow component.

self builder window.
cmp := self builder componentAt: #tableAspect.
ps := Printer startPrintJobNamed: 'temp.postscript'.

[(MockMedium
on: ((ScalingWrapper on: cmp copy) scale: 0.50)
in: (0 @ 0 extent: mainWindow bounds extent)
for: ps)
newGraphicsDevice: ps graphicsDevice;
display]
ensure:
[mainWindow
component: cmp;
extentEvent: mainWindow bounds extent;
flushCaches.
ps print.
mainWindow
component: mainCmp;
extentEvent: mainWindow bounds extent;
flushCaches.
].

Hi David,

 

Can you please provide a bit more background to your problem. I.e. what version of VW you are using, your platform, whether the error occurs when printing examples or in your own code, and also attach the walkback log of the doesNotUnderstand:.

 

Cheers,

 

Stewart

Subject: [vwnc] MockMedium and Printing Problem

 

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had encountered a problem with MockMedium and Printing. This class is used in the Printer examples.
I've found I get a #doesNotUnderstand: message which then closes the main window. The print job runs ok, but for some reason the MockMedium
is being set as the main window, and it does not understand how to handle mouse events - or so it seems.

Anyone seen anything like this? Or know of a working method for printing a widget out to a file?

thanks,

David
