Print Preview v5.60 Released

Kambiz — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 16:51:55 +0000

The Print Preview Components v5.60 has been released.

[feature] Added OnPageProcessing event to TPrintPreview control. This event occurs just before processing a page, during the print and save as PDF and TIFF operations. You can use this event to filter pages or cancel the whole operation.
[change] Changed the parameter list of OnProgress event. Now this event just reports the progress; neither reports processing page number nor provides a way to cancel the operation.
[change] Removed some redundant code.

Print Preview v5.50 Released

Kambiz — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:12:42 +0000

The Print Preview Components v5.50 has been released.

[feature] As of now, the TPrintPreview control uses GDI+ for smooth drawing and multi-frame TIFF output without need of any third-party wrapper.
[change] The PrintPreview output format has been changed. With the new format you can save/load pages to/from middle of a stream containing other contents. In the other hand, lack of version information was the main problem of the older format, and because of that I couldn’t provide a backward compatible output.
[change] Output compression is no more supported. Because load and save routines need random access to the stream and compression/decompression streams provide only sequential access, using ZLib library requires an intermediate stream. This is something that should be done in your own application if it is really needed.
[bugfix] Some minor tweaks.
