First I want to thanks to RoyGlanfield for : Printing RichEdit
 


 
A long time ago I was wondering how to print RTF files in the background.
I just used to use this solution: 
ShellExecuteWait($sRTF_FileFullPath, '', '', 'print')

Unfortunately, it is slow and is not done, in the background.
 
 
A few days ago I was looking for a solution through google.
I found a solution at home  :) and exactly here.
 
I modified it a little, and behold, here it is:

    Update History:
    ===================================================
    2014/06/04
    v0.1 First official version

    2014/06/04
    v0.2
    * Global Variable renaming by adding $__
    * extended $__API_RTF_Printer
    * new function: _RTF_SetMargins($vMarginLeft = 1, $vMarginTop = 1, $vMarginRight = 1, $vMarginBottom = 1)
    * new function: _RTF_SetNumberOfCopies($iNumberOfCopies = 1)
    * added #Region RTF PRINTER initialization#
    * CleanUp
    * added #forceref
    * added #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7


    2014/06/12
    v0.3
    * Global Variable Renaming add 'RTF' to variable names and added $__ to be sure that no one else used the name
    * Global Variable renaming $aPageInfo to $__aRTFPageInfo to be sure that no one else used the name
    * variable renaming $hInput* to $iCtrlInput*
    * in _RTF_PrintFile() new parameter $fAddIndex
    * Setting RTF_Printer Window Title
    * fix problem with printing more than 16 RTF files >>  GUIDelete($__API_RTF_Printer[$__hRTF_Gui])
    * new internal function __RTF_AddLeadingZeros
    * added some more comments
    * brand new RTF_Printer_Examples.au3

    2014/06/15
    v0.4
    * $sRTF_FileFullPath_or_Stream   - A string value. Full path to the RTF file to be printed or Stream Data from _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToVar
    *       Now you can create documents in RichEdit and print them without the need to save the RTF file.
    *       You can also download the documents from the database and print them without having to save them to disk as RTF files.
    * new RTF_Printer_Examples.au3
    * new #Region MSDN Links , Help, Doc
    * some minior variable renaming

Today I found a bug.
Is related to printing multiple prints at once after 16 print documents are no longer transmitted to the printer.
More or less already know how to solve this problem.

I plan to release an update this week.
Any comments? Any feature requests?

mLipok, can you clarify the simplest call the print directly from a RichEdit control:

__RTF_Print($hPrintDc, $hRichEditCtrl, $sDocTitle)

Do I first call __GetDC_PrinterNoDialog()?

I ask because the GetDC function identified as Internal Use Only.  But, otherwise, I don't see how to populate $hPrintDC.

for example:

using _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create example from HelpFile:

; This is modyfied example from HelpFile based on _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create.au3

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

; here add reference to my UDF
#include "RTF_Printer.au3"

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGui, $hRichEdit, $iMsg
    Local $idPrint, $vRTF_Stream
    $hGui = GUICreate("Example (" & StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4) & ")", 320, 350, -1, -1)

    ; here add Print button
    Local $idPrint = GUICtrlCreateButton("Print", 220, 320, 85, 25)

    $hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, "This is a test.", 10, 10, 300, 220, _
            BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL))
    _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hRichEdit, @CRLF & "This is more text")
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While True
        $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $iMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($hRichEdit) ; needed unless script crashes
                ; GUIDelete()   ; is OK too
                Exit

            Case $iMsg = $idPrint ; here is support for Clicking in Print button

                ; here Setting default margin - all = 1 centimeters
                ; you can set your own margins
                _RTF_SetMargins()

                ; here setting number of copies - default is 1
                _RTF_SetNumberOfCopies(1)

                ; here getting data to Print
                $vRTF_Stream = _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToVar($hRichEdit)

                ; and here Printing
                _RTF_PrintFile($vRTF_Stream, Default, True, True)

        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

.

I'm sorry if I'm completely missing the point, here ... but this is what I tried and it works:

Func _Print()
   Local $Dc = __GetDC_PrinterNoDialog()
   Local $anySel = _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetSel($myEdit)         ; take note of user's selection, if any
   __RTF_Print($Dc, $myEdit, "Printed result")
   If $anySel[0] <> $anySel[1] Then
    _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($myEdit, $anySel[0], $anySel[1]) ; restore user's selection, if any
   Else
    _GUICtrlRichEdit_Deselect($myEdit)           ; otherwise, deselect all
   EndIf
EndFunc

Am I supposed to be calling _RTF_PrintFile() and ignoring that __RTF_Print() is available?

 

(BTW, I added the lines to restore the user's selection.  Maybe this should be considered for a future update.)

This look good.

Because it is easier and faster I think I will add this to UDF in a few day.

 

BTW:

I am not a RichEdit expert I just find RoyGlanfield example and adapt it to more usable form.

Cheers

Hi mLipok,

I'm trying to use this library as I see it being my go to for the application I'm developing. Really cool what you have done, I just have a little problem.

When trying to call __RTF_Preview() I get nothing, it doesn't come up with anything. This is how I am using it:

#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <RTF_Printer.au3>

Local $msg

Local $hWnd = GUICreate("", 200, 200)
Local $pEditWindow = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hWnd, "This is a test", 0, 0, 100, 100)
Local $pPreview = GUICtrlCreateButton("print preview", 100, 145)

GUISetState()

Local $acKeys[1][2] = [['^p', $pPreview]]

GUISetAccelerators($acKeys, $hWnd)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $pPreview
            prtPrevw()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($pEditWindow)
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func prtPrevw()
    Local $dc
    $dc = __GetDC_PrinterSetup()
    __RTF_Preview($dc, $pEditWindow)
EndFunc

Hopefully I'm just doing something trivial. Thanks for the help and the library!

EDIT: Added code for clarity.

Hmm, must be missing something yet again. I changed my RichEdit_Create statement to be identical and it still did not give me a print preview.

$pEditWindow = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hWnd, "", 0, 0, 100, 100, $ES_MULTILINE)

Tried changing it to

still nothing :(

Am I flawed in calling 

__RTF_Preview($dc, $pEditWindow)

Q: What you realy want to do is: Display this RichEditPreview in new window ?

 

Yep, I was just hoping your __RTF_Preview() function would do it for me. :)

I think in terms of time I might just make up something myself, as I cannot get the result I would like from it :(

      PrintPreview.zip
      By argumentum
      by  eltorro Posted April 26, 2010
      Most print preview solutions use the MFC Doc/View architecture which limits it usefulness outside of c++. I found an article where a Delphi programmer used Enhanced Meta Files wrapped in a custom header and packaged together to create a print preview control. After a little more searching, It looks like using EMFs is a solution that would work.
      Some people suggest to create the document in Word or HTML and use Word or a browser to view it. Indeed, I have rendered documents to HTML and used the IE UDF to display the contents and/or print them. Not quite as ideal as one would like.
      Using GRS's printwin.au3 as a start, I came up with a print preview solution which others may be able to expand upon

      _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetZoom parameter limitation
      By loganizzi
      If you look at the help file for the above command, you'll see that it states that it only works for certain zoom values (100 and 200 to 6400).   I assume that this is due to an issue in an MSDN library that the command relies on.
      After doing some investigating, I noticed that the GUIRichEdit.au3 library file contains the following code:
      ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Authors........: Chris Haslam (c.haslam) ; Modified ......: ; =============================================================================================================================== Func _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetZoom($hWnd, $iPercent) If Not _WinAPI_IsClassName($hWnd, $__g_sRTFClassName) Then Return SetError(101, 0, False) If Not __GCR_IsNumeric($iPercent, ">0") Then Return SetError(1021, 0, False) Local $iNumerator, $iDenominator Select Case Not ($iPercent = 100 Or ($iPercent >= 200 And $iPercent < 6400)) Return SetError(1022, 0, False) Case $iPercent >= 100 $iNumerator = 10000 $iDenominator = 10000 / ($iPercent / 100) Case Else $iNumerator = 10000 * ($iPercent / 100) $iDenominator = 10000 EndSelect Return _SendMessage($hWnd, $EM_SETZOOM, $iNumerator, $iDenominator) <> 0 EndFunc ;==>_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetZoom Which ensures that values are only within the bounds specified in the help file.    I found that if I comment out the portion of the code that limits the values, the function works fine for most (if not all) values.   I changed the code in the library file to this by simply commenting out the restricting lines of code:
      ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Authors........: Chris Haslam (c.haslam) ; Modified ......: ; =============================================================================================================================== Func _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetZoom($hWnd, $iPercent) If Not _WinAPI_IsClassName($hWnd, $__g_sRTFClassName) Then Return SetError(101, 0, False) If Not __GCR_IsNumeric($iPercent, ">0") Then Return SetError(1021, 0, False) Local $iNumerator, $iDenominator Select ; Case Not ($iPercent = 100 Or ($iPercent >= 200 And $iPercent < 6400)) ; Return SetError(1022, 0, False) Case $iPercent >= 100 $iNumerator = 10000 $iDenominator = 10000 / ($iPercent / 100) Case Else $iNumerator = 10000 * ($iPercent / 100) $iDenominator = 10000 EndSelect Return _SendMessage($hWnd, $EM_SETZOOM, $iNumerator, $iDenominator) <> 0 EndFunc ;==>_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetZoom  
      I assume whatever windows bug existed at the time this was created, no longer exists so there is no need to restrict the values.   
      Just wanted to point this out if anyone else is using this part of the library and required this functionality like I did.
