Writes a bitmap at the specified location on the current page.
PrintBitmap ( printjobnumber, bitmap, x, y, width, height )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
printjobnumber |
The number the PrintOpen function assigned to the print job. |
bitmap |
A string whose value is the file name of the bitmap image. |
x |
An integer whose value is the x coordinate (in thousandths of an inch) on the page of the bitmap image. |
y |
An integer whose value is the y coordinate (in thousandths of an inch) on the page of the bitmap image. |
width |
The integer width of the bitmap image in thousandths of an inch. If width is 0, PocketBuilder uses the original width of the image. |
height |
The integer height of the bitmap image in thousandths of an inch. If height is 0, PocketBuilder uses the original height of the image. |
Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is null, PrintBitmap returns null.
PrintBitmap does not change the position of the print cursor, which remains where it was before the function was called. In general, print functions in which you specify coordinates do not affect the print cursor (see the functions listed in See also).
Required third-party software
You must install the FieldSoftware PrinterCE SDK before you
can use print methods in PocketBuilder applications deployed to
a Pocket PC device or emulator. An evaluation version of this software
is available from the FieldSoftware Web site.
These statements define a new blank page and then print the bitmap in file d:\PB\BITMAP1.BMP in its original size at location 50,100:
long Job
// Define a new blank page.
Job = PrintOpen( )
// Print the bitmap in its original size.
PrintBitmap(Job, "d:\PB\BITMAP1.BMP", 50,100, 0,0)
// Send the page to the printer and close Job.
PrintClose(Job)
