The trick I'm using is to use the Lead AX control (on the screen) to manipulate the picture, and then use it to export each page of the multipage .tif file to a separate bitmap, Append General that bitmap into a cursor, and print that cursor. It works, sort of, or rather it will once I get to solve this: which class (for the Append General) should I use? I tried the LeadSrvr and FoxHWnd, with exporting into .cmp (Lead's proprietary) and .bmp - with same partial success.
The printed area is something like 4"x4", the rest is blank, in both cases. I managed to get the page to print as complete if I opened the general field for editing and then closed it. I've checked the temp file while it existed (delete after use, environmentally friendly to server disks), and the general field - they're both containing the full picture in each case. Even after a few clicks (the image in the general field isn't really editable - there are no buttons around) when I get the page to print, it prints at such a low resolution, that I'm getting the feeling it's the thumbnail that gets enlarged.
Printing directly from the Lead OCX is abandoned because there was no way to print additional info on the same page - and printing a faxed document without any information on what does it mean and who does it refer to is pointless in this case. The cursor with the general field has a couple of fields that need to print above the image, plus the "Page m of n".
Has anybody succeeded in this? I need something like a 7"x9" picture on a 8.5x11 paper - the users may need to actually read what's there.
TIA
