DELPHI AREA Forum

Hi
I'm new here:) Last time i downloaded this components from torry pages and I have two questions about what I see in demo programs.

1. Can I print on all for example a4 area or only on bounds that this components show (also on demo programs)
2. What is the white area on TThumbnailPreview and Tprintpreview on a form? Is it a paper or paper and sth? And what is the black frame near (inside) the bouns in both of these component showing pages? I see one "dotted" frame which means the real boundary of printing area (not all white rectangle) and the second black frame and I don't know what is it? And must it be shown all the time?

Please answer the most simple as you can because of my pour english:)
Thank you in advance.

1. You can set bounds.
2. Oh, that... Don't mind it.

ps. Get the new and shiny versions directly from this site!

I have downloaded version from this site and it's the same.
I still see "dotted" bunded a part (not all) of white area. Plese tell me what to do to be able to print on all paper area.
And tell me please whatis the second black frame seen on the picture and how to remove it?

I've just found out the reason of this black frame . It's in program code drawn not in component code. That'ok:)
But still waiting my second question connected with the printable area. Is it possible to print on all paper area or only on this bounded with dotted frame and why this dotted frame deppends on the unit kind. I don't undertand it. Please explain it as simple as possible.

The printable area depends on the printer. TPrintPreview just provides the bounding rectangle of the printable area and do not force you to create pages inside this bound.

Well. So I can print outside of this bounded (dotted) area? Do I understand good? If so, what is this bounded area for?

Haven't you read the text above?

It's for showing you, and user what part can be printed because of hardware limitations.

Ok, now it's clear for me. Thanks for the answers.
