DOCUMENT:Q78389 24-DEC-1999 [miscsdk] TITLE :PRB: Cannot Print Object from an Embedded Window in Viewer PRODUCT :Miscellaneous Software Development Kits PROD/VER::1.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Multimedia Viewer, version 1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== In the Microsoft Multimedia Viewer, when attempting to print a 256-color image from an embedded window, only the text around the embedded window prints. CAUSE ===== Multimedia Viewer version 1.0 does not support printing the content of an embedded window. The code to support displaying a 256-color image in an embedded window is provided by a dynamic-link library (DLL), which is independent of Viewer. RESOLUTION ========== One method to work around this lack of support is to copy the undithered image to the Windows Clipboard using the CopyBmp macro. Then use a bitmap editor to print the image. (For more information about the CopyBmp macro, see page 7-8 of the "Microsoft Multimedia Development Kit Multimedia Viewer Developer's Guide.") It is also possible to create a DLL to print the embedded window image. The DLL could be triggered as a hot spot (similar to the CopyBmp macro). For more information, see the sample DLLs provided with the Microsoft Multimedia Development Kit (MDK) in the VIEWER directory. Writing a DLL that interfaces with Viewer is discussed in chapters 14 and 15 of the "Multimedia Viewer Developer's Guide."
