Printer.PageHeight - printresY * 3 div 2 // 1.5 inch
Bottom Margin);
// Define a rectangle for the rich edit text. The height is set
to the
// maximum. But we need to convert from device units to twips,
// 1 twip = 1/1440 inch or 1/20 point.
richedit_outputarea :=
Rect(printarea.Left * 1440 div printresX,
printarea.Top * 1440 div printresY,
printarea.Right * 1440 div printresX,
printarea.Bottom * 1440 div printresY);
// Tell rich edit to format its text to the printer. First set
// up data record for message:
fmtRange.hDC := Handle; // printer handle
fmtRange.hdcTarget := Handle; // ditto
fmtRange.rc := richedit_outputarea;
fmtRange.rcPage := Rect(0, 0,
Printer.PageWidth * 1440 div printresX,
Printer.PageHeight * 1440 div printresY);
// set range of characters to print to selection
fmtRange.chrg.cpMin := richedit1.selstart;
fmtRange.chrg.cpMax := richedit1.selStart + richedit1.sellength - 1;
// remove characters that need not be printed from end of
selection.
// failing to do so screws up the repeat loop below.
S := Richedit1.SelText;
while (fmtRange.chrg.cpMax 0) and
(S[fmtRange.chrg.cpMax] do Dec(fmtRange.chrg.cpMax);
repeat
// Render the text
nextChar := richedit1.Perform(EM_FORMATRANGE, 1, Longint(@fmtRange));
if nextchar then
begin
// more text to print
printer.newPage;
fmtRange.chrg.cpMin := nextChar;
end; { If }
until nextchar = fmtRange.chrg.cpMax;
// Free cached information
Richedit1.Perform(EM_FORMATRANGE, 0, 0);
end;
finally
Printer.EndDoc;
end;
end;
{
The richedit1.perform( EM_FORMATRANGE call returns the index of the
last character that could be fitted into the passed fmtrange.rc, + 1.
So if multiple pages are required one repeats with fmtrange.chrg.cpMin
set to this value, until all characters have been printed.
