Changin headers/footers

[dancb]

There is any way to set headers/footers with webconnect, or may be by writing to the Windows Registry?

TIA.

I don't know in this context what you mean by headers / footers. If you just mean the HTML headings and something at the bottom of the web control it can do that fine. If not, could you please explain what you mean?

I mean changing the printing headers/footers.

Left, Center and Right header and Left, Center and Right Footer, like Firefox has.

Thanks, I now understand. I have noticed before that you can get some funny headers and footers, but never looked into whether you can change them. I don't believe there is any way in the current wxWebConnect, but if you are happy to change it then it looks like you can use the nsIPrintSettings properties:

Code: Select all

  attribute wstring headerStrLeft;
  attribute wstring headerStrCenter;
  attribute wstring headerStrRight;

  attribute wstring footerStrLeft;
  attribute wstring footerStrCenter;
  attribute wstring footerStrRight;


The print settings can be found in m_ptrs->m_print_settings in webcontrol.cpp.

Of course, I haven't tried this so YMMV.

Thank you for the tip Jon, mi mileage is not so good, but with some effort I could implement printing headers/footers by adding some code to webcontrol.cpp.

In void wxWebControl::Print(bool silent)

I added:

if (settings19)
{
settings19->SetHeaderStrLeft(wxToUnichar(HL));
etc. etc.

Glad to hear it. I should probably have put those methods in C++ form rather than IDL form rather than expecting you to just figure it out, but I'm glad you got it anyway.
