hi sparkido,<br />
<br />
maybe the TMetaFile-Object will help,<br />
it contains methods <br />
CopyFromClipBoard<br />
and Draw, Stretchdraw to paint it on the<br />
printer-canvas for example<br />
<br />

I didn't know Delphi had a class for Meta Files. This works perfectly. Submit an answer.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a 3rd Party control, and I want to print the contents of it's window. PrintForm and PaintTo only print the visible area. The control can copy itself onto the clipboard as a Windows Meta File. This may be the long way round, but heres how I am trying to do it ...<br />
<br />
Copy control as WMF to clipboard.<br />
Create an OLE link to Excel (or Word)<br />
Paste the contents of the clipboard into Excel.<br />
Tell Excel to print.<br />
<br />
At present I can't work out the parameters for PasteSpecial using the WorkSheet Interface.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to print , or how to Paste a WMF from the clipboard into Excel ??<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
