Printing Memo Fields?

[SpeedDemon]

Hi, when printing a memo field to a printer using the Canvas.Textout() funtion, the line returns are replaced by 2 strange characters (They print as little boxes).

Is there a funtion I can run the memo text though that will make each line print on a new line or do I need to code a procedure that will search for these little box type characters that represent a new line.

If so, anyonw know what the ascii code for those ittle line return things are???

Cheers all,
Taz.

I think you're looking for #13 for carriage return

Actually its #13#10 (2 "boxes" = 2 chars). BobbaFet

Everyone has a right to my opinion.

Whoops I forgot to mention that that is the windows return.
The *nix return is #10. BobbaFet

Hi,

why donn't you use a Trichedit component, It has a methode print. It has the same functionality as a Tmemo.

Richedit1.Print('');

It prints everything to the selected printer.
