Hi

Does ImageENMView.Checkboxes and PrintPreviewParams.PrintSelected work together?

I'm using ImageENMView to show a Multipage Tiff file and I'd like the user to be able to select the pages to print using the checkboxes.

But when I code:

imgThumbs.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.PrintSelected := True;
  imgThumbs.MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog('Imprimir', True, 'Visualizar Impressão', False);


I prints all the pages regardless it's checked (which I tought means selected).

In my old system, I had to use a listbox with the page numbers, create a new PrintImageENMView, loop through the pages checkboxes and code PrintImageENMView.SetIEBitmapEx(iIndex, iIEBitmap); in order to print only the selected pages in the listbox.

I think theres a better way to achieve that?

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi Fabio

In the current beta, we now use checkboxes rather than selections in the print dialogs, and it will automatically inherit a checkbox selection if it is active.

Please email me to test the beta.

Hi xequte, thanks!

Hi

Yes, that looks the best way to show only checked images.

Perhaps there should be some way to make checkboxes function like regular selections. I'll look into that.

Also, maybe filtering (e.g. by checked status) should be possible to only show the checked images (and be applied in the print dialog). I'll look into that too.

I did it now the same way that I did in 2016:

procedure TImageEnMViewHelper.PrintAllOrCheckedPages;
var
  TempView: TImageEnMView;
  I, PaginaAtual: Integer;
  ieBmp: TIEBitmap;
begin

  if Self.ImageCount = 0 then begin
    ShowAlerta('Nenhuma imagem sendo exibida para ser impressa!');
    Exit;
  end;

  if Self.CheckedCount = 0 then
    Self.MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog('Imprimir', True, 'Visualizar Impressão', False)
  else begin

    PaginaAtual := Self.SelectedImage;
    ieBmp := TIEBitmap.Create;
    TempView := TImageEnMView.Create(nil);
    TempView.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.DlgMaximized := True;
    TempView.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.MarginTop := 0;
    TempView.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.MarginLeft := 0;
    TempView.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.MarginRight := 0;
    TempView.MIO.PrintPreviewParams.MarginBottom := 0;
    TempView.AnnotationsVisible := True;

    Self.LockUpdate;

    try

      for I := 0 to Self.ImageCount - 1 do begin

        Self.SelectedImage := I;

        if Self.Checked[i] then begin
          ieBmp.AssignImage(Self.IEBitmap);
          TempView.InsertImage(TempView.ImageCount,ieBmp);
        end;

      end;

      TempView.SelectedImage := 0;
      TempView.MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog('Imprimir', True, 'Visualizar Impressão', False);

    finally
      ieBmp.Free;
      TempView.Free;
      Self.SelectedImage := PaginaAtual;
      Self.UnlockUpdate;
    end;

  end;

end;


When you can, please let me know if there's a better way to do that!

Also, I'll work mainly with the checkbox for selection, so DeleteSelectedImages will not work too, I'll have to create a helper SelectCheckedPages I guess, would be nice to have a way to use the checks or the selection itself.

Thanks!

I tried using Filter but it seens that DoPrintPreviewDialog does not care about that and shows all pages regardless.

Ah ok cool xequte.

I wrote a helper for that:

procedure TImageEnMViewHelper.PrintCheckedImages;
var
  I: Integer;
  LWasMultiSelect: Boolean;
begin

  LWasMultiSelect := Self.EnableMultiSelect;
  LockUpdate;

  try
    EnableMultiSelect := True;
    Deselect;
    BeginSelectImages(True);

    for I := 0 to ImageCount - 1 do
      if Checked[I] then
        SelectedImage := I;

    EndSelectImages;

    if CheckedCount > 0 then
      MIO.PrintPreviewParams.PrintSelected := True;

    MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog('Imprimir', True, 'Visualizar Impressão', False);

  finally
    EnableMultiSelect := LWasMultiSelect;
    UnlockUpdate;
  end;

end;


But this way even though it carries on the checked pages as selection, it shows all the pages..

I'd like to add an option to show only the checked images on the PrintPreviewDialog instead, is that possible?

Thanks

Hi

PrintSelected only makes the printing selection combobox default to "Print Selected".

Calling imgThumbs.MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog() will carry the selection over from imgThumbs, but only the regular selection, not checkboxes. So you should convert your checkbox selection to a normal selection prior to calling DoPrintPreviewDialog().

Please see the example at:

http://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnMView.Checked.html

I'll look at making it handle checkbox selection automatically in the next update.
