Lazarus: Print with Document Name
Question by Guest | 2013-12-18 at 18:01
Today, I printed my first page with one of my applications written in Lazarus. This is all working better than I could imagine, but there is also one thing that bothers me a little.
If you click at the printer icon at the Windows Taskbar, a window opens showing the queue of all documents to be printed.
Normally, here, in the column "Document Name" there should be displayed the title of the print. Unfortunately, this title is obviously not passed to the system by Lazarus, the line remains empty at this point.
So far, this is my code:
Printer.BeginDoc; Printer.Title := 'My first Print'; Printer.Canvas.Font.Name := 'Courier New'; Printer.Canvas.Font.Size := 10; Printer.Canvas.Font.Color := clBlack; Printer.Canvas.TextOut(100, 100, 'TEST'); Printer.EndDoc;
I have tried both, using the property "Title" as well as "FileName" to specify a document name. Both is not working.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug of Lazarus?

You are close to the solution. You only have to set the "Title" before the "BeginDoc".
So, for example:
At the time of "BeginDoc" the printing has almost begun, so it is too late for setting the name. The name must already be set before the "BeginDoc".
