WinCode Gurus,
I would like to print a BMP file from a windows EUPHORIA application. How
would I do this?
Thanks in advance!

If you are using Win32Lib, you should be able to BitBlt or CopyBlt it to the
printer. Something like this:
-- warning: untested code!
include win32lib.ew
integer ignore
-- load the bitmap
constant theBitmap = loadBitmapFromFile("test.bmp")
-- set up the printer to print a page
ignore = getPrinter()
ignore = startDoc( "Print Bitmap")
ignore = startPage()
-- send the bitmap to the page
copyBlt( Printer, 10, 10, theBitmap )
-- print the document
ignore = endPage()
ignore = endDoc()
releasePrinter()
Hope this helps!

David,
Thanks! Here's some issues with it:
type_check failure, ignore is {1,999,1}
So I changed ignore to an object type.
Then I got a "bitBlt: bitBlt failed" message. However, the graphic printed.
I appreciate your help in this regard. If you've got answers for the above,
please let me know.
Thanks!
