Question regarding printing - ddoc

[John S]

I haven't had time to cut any code yet, but I have a question regarding printing in Aurora.

Will it be possible to use the ddoc app ( and DLL ) to print and preview?   In the other language, some have used (or proposed using) ddoc to format print output.  I haven't bought it yet (ddoc), but if it turns out to be useful in both IBPro and Aurora, it might be a worthwhile investment.  The kinds of apps I am interested in writting generate lots of paper output so formatting is a big deal.

Don't know.  Never used ddoc myself.

I'd be interested, also.

Isn't there a trial period? It would seem if it used a dll it would work.

If it worked with IBPro it would work with Aurora, the source code would look a little different, but not too much. We can help you convert the declarations, but I don't own that DLL myself and don't plan on it.

I will probably buy it (ddoc) next week and start applying it to my IBPro program, then I will port over to Aurora.  This will take a little time to wrap up as I'm a self-employed engineer and way behind.  I was just hoping someone had crossed that bridge already.

I would think that as a dll it should work o.k.  It would just need the correct front end.  When I go to purchase, I'll ask the author about it. 

Thanks for the quick replies.

I have used Ddoc print & preview in IBPro and have just converted the inc file to Aurora it is very good have included a small test prog done with Aurora

your test app won't work without ddoc32.dll.  I think ddoc32.dll is supposed to be free to distribute.
