From: ldries46 on 20 Jun 2008 10:29 I am trying to create ADA programs in windows XP. Therefore I am using GTKAda. I cannot find any reference to how to print the info in a TextView window. I am using the text view window for convienience and have found various possibilities but not how to print or even how to sned something to a windows printer. Can anyone tell me how that must be done L. Dries

That means you have to change the model in order to make the viewer to show anything. In short you should modify the text buffer of the widget in order to make Text_View to show it. For example, you could use Set_Text. See for Gtk_Text_Buffer http://www.adacore.com/wp-content/files/auto_update/gtkada-docs/gtkada_rm/gtkada_rm/gtk-text_buffer.html (the function Get_Buffer returns the current text buffer of the widget) -- Regards, Dmitry A.

From: ldries46 on 21 Jun 2008 08:05 It 's clear to me how to get my text buffer back. Now I want to send it to the printer within windows, so I want to see for instance the windows printer dialog to choose my printer (or PDF creator) or a GTK alternative for it. The last would be better if I want to design my program in a Windows enviroment and run it also in a Linux enviroment for instance. "Dmitry A.

I see it is not GtkTextView, it is printing what you need. GTK+ has printing API[*]. But AFAIK it is not yet supported in GtkAda 2.10. You should do these bindings by yourself (which should be not that difficult) or else wait for some next version of GtkAda. If you are a paying AdaCore customer, you might ask them to do it for you. (AdaCore maintains GtkAda) ------------ * http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/Printing.html -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de |
