GOAL:
An option for printing images from the ABL
GOAL:
How can I print images and text on a report in the ABL?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
OpenEdge 10.x
Progress 9.x
FIX:
Some customers have asked if the 4GL has a capability for printing
images (bitmaps). So far, this is not possible.
However, there is a DLL called xPrint.dll. You can find more information about it at the following url:
http://www.4gl.fr/xprint.htm.
It has the following features:
· Bitmaps, jpeg, wmf, emf and ico are supported with/without stretching.
· Orientation change within the same report : Portrait-Landscape.
· Proportional fonts, multiple size, CPI, LPI, FONT Color, bold, italics, underline.
· Filled rectangles with/without [round] corners and borders, ellipses, fine control on color (RGB).
· Enhanced support of automatic PROGRESS mode with multiple frames.
· Precise absolute positioning of text: for printing on forms, labels, or checks.
· Select a tray (bin) and/or send your own escape sequence for each
page of the report.
· Support of international character sets and barcodes.
· Support with 16 bits applications.
On the same web page you will find a demo, presentation, and
evaluation version; as well as the information to contact the company,
and the price.
