Hello,
Under version 5.5 of Mapbasic I had a dialog box where the user was asked what
layout size and orientation they wanted for a print.
The user selected from a radio button the paper size (A4 -> A0) and clicked on a
button which accessed M_FILE_PAGE_SETUP
where they could select the orientation and also select the printer / paper
size.
On returning from M_FILE_PAGE_SETUP I knew what paper size the user wanted (from
the radio button) and could also
detect the orientation by using the windowinfo() function as follows:-
MORIENTATION=WINDOWINFO(FRONTWINDOW(),WIN_INFO_PRINTER_ORIENT)
I then went off and loaded a layout which was of the correct size and
orientation (A3 Landscape for example) and
contained borders, logos, titles etc.
My question is how do I reproduce this functionality under version 6.0?
The documentation suggests now using M_EDIT_PREFERENCES_PRINTER, but I cant get
this to work.
Mapinfo still seems to return the orientation that has been set using page setup
not the one set under Options/Printers.
I'd really appreciate someones help on this as its driving me mad!!
Kind Regards
