[Gambas-user] Print Dialog following the Printer.Configure - Method

[Claus Dietrich]

We are currently working on a Gambas-Buch-chapter about the printer 
class (documented for gb.qt4) and prepared an according demo 
application. During tests with the app we noticed, that the usefulness 
of the printer dialog, which is started with the 
Printer.Configure-method is limited. It seems that parameters offered 
under the "Options" button are considered but all parameters found under 
the button "Properties" (like margins) are not considered. There also 
seems to be no interface between the dialog-options and the application 
which would allow to communicate parameters like margins. Loading 
gb.form.print also didn't help.

We also found, that the margins shown in the dialog are always 3.53mm - 
no matter what printer has been selected - .

Are there ways to get more out of this standard-dialog or shall we 
recommend alternatives?

Best regards

Claus
