Robert,

#INCLUDE "cgdiplus.inc" is found in J.Roca includes WINAPI_III_107.

[Robert Alvarez]

where to find J.Roca includes WINAPI_III_107 ?

[Jim Fritts]

where to find J.Roca includes WINAPI_III_107 ?

here

Note:
Do not mix these includes with PBWIN includes. Either use PBWIN includes or use J.Roca includes. Not both.

[Robert Alvarez]

that is quite a link posting , says that it is a sticky topic. will be a very sticky topic for me, but will try to see what I can do.

Failed; Network Error

[Jim Fritts]

Works with Windows 10 1909 Edge

[Robert Alvarez]

network error, yes

just looking at the code, it does not have PBMAIN or PBWIN, so what is the starting block of code to start the program.

Will try to just read the code to see if I can figure out some useful code .

[Robert Alvarez]

have lastest Edge. what is "1909" , version ?

[Jim Fritts]

Where are you having a problem?
Do you have Roca's includes? WINAPI_III_107.zip

If yes, then change the compiler options to only Roca includes.

If you are seeing this...

network error, yes

just looking at the code, it does not have PBMAIN or PBWIN, so what is the starting block of code to start the program.

Will try to just read the code to see if I can figure out some useful code .

Then you are likely mixing includes.

have lastest Edge. what is "1909" , version ?

1909 is the Windows 10 release version. 19=2019 and 09=September

[Robert Alvarez]

could download Windows API Headers III v. 1.07

. got network issue.

[Robert Alvarez]

Main interest is the dialog frame work . meaning starting

dialog info
DIALOG NEW PIXELS, PPD.hParent, "gbPrintPreview", PPD.DialogX, PPD.DialogY, PPD.DialogW, PPD.DialogH, %WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW OR %WS_CLIPCHILDREN TO PPG.hDlg ,

graphic window info
CONTROL ADD GRAPHIC, PPG.hDlg, %IDC_PPGraphic, "", 0,%PPToolbar_Height,PPD.DialogW, PPD.DialogH - %PPToolbar_Height, %WS_BORDER OR %SS_NOTIFY

graphic vertiual info,
GRAPHIC SET VIRTUAL MAX(PPG.VirtualW,wCont), MAX(PPG.VirtualH,hCont)

zooming info.

quite a lot to trace.

[Jim Fritts]

gbPrintPreview v5.12 should have this as the PBMAIN

FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
   LOCAL STYLE AS LONG
   STYLE = %WS_CHILD OR %WS_VISIBLE OR %ES_MULTILINE OR %WS_VSCROLL _
      OR %ES_AUTOVSCROLL OR %ES_WANTRETURN OR %WS_TABSTOP OR %WS_BORDER
   DIALOG NEW PIXELS, 0, "gbPrintPreview Demo  v" + $DemoVer,100,100,500,400, %WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW TO hDlg
   DIALOG SET ICON hDlg, "logo"
   CreateToolbar
   CONTROL ADD LABEL, hDlg, %IDC_LabelB, "Sample Text:", 10, 90, 110, 20
   CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX, hDlg, %IDC_SampleText, "", 10, 110, 250, 250, STYLE '<--- Sample Text

   CONTROL ADD LABEL, hDlg, %IDC_LabelA, "Quiet Print Range:", 10, 60, 110, 20
   CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX, hDlg, %IDC_MinPage, "1", 130, 60, 30, 20
   CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX, hDlg, %IDC_MaxPage, "2", 170, 60, 30, 20

   CONTROL ADD STATUSBAR, hDlg, %IDC_StatusBar, "", 0,0,0,0
   DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg CALL DlgProc
END FUNCTION

It is found here.

Or here.

just download from your link.
still get error on #INCLUDE "cgdiplus.inc"

and it does not have
FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
code you showed.

gbprintpreview_demo.bas is the program I got form zip package.

[José Roca]

In gbprintpreview_demo.bas you have Function PBMain() As Long in the line 54.

> still get error on #INCLUDE "cgdiplus.inc"

You have to use my include files. "cgdiplus.inc" doesn not exist in the PB includes.

[Robert Alvarez]

could download Windows API Headers III v. 1.07

. got network issue.

Try clicking up arrow in download bar. Choose [resume].
Could just be a too quick timeout on a too slow cloud.
I tried it again today and that worked.

Ah-ha!

In Firefox, Just click the "retry" icon

[Robert Alvarez]

three dot menu > resume , worked.
thanks everyone

looking at huge inc code will first upgrade my simple print preview with zoom. later will tackle going over this code. Lots of features to explore.

wish that complex software authors would produce a simple flow chart to help see what is going on in a complex software code. I make flow charts and detail diagrams when i get lost with my software program code.
