Can anyone give me some clue how to do this? I want to preview the Printer.Canvas before printing it. My Printer.Canvas consists of a number of different objects. It looks for me as if I need to display the Printer.Canvas in a Paintbox.Canvas. For this to happen I need to copy the Printer.Canvas to the Paintbox.Canvas using
Paintbox.Canvas.CopyRect(a, Printer.Canvas, a);
where a is the coordinates. But this does not seem to work. It does not display in the Paintbox. I have tried this in and out of the OnPaint. The only data that is shown in the paintbox those declared in the onPaint event. I've tried to write to the Paintbox.Canvas first and then copy that to the Printer.Canvas, but it did not help me at all. The statement and data that must be printed is set elsewhere in the program and it is not possible to set all of them in the onPaint event. Must I initialize or refresh or ??? the Paintbox in any way or what am I doing wrong? Please help urgent !!
