Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to visually display the limits of the document area. For example, if I define an area equal to the Pixel, Point or Document dimentions of a standard page in either Portrait or Landscape mode using SetDocSize, MeasureUnit and RestrObjsToDoc, would it be possible to have the dimensions visually displayed on the FlowChart control?

Currently, I draw a box to those dimentions so the user knows the document drawing area. This box is then set to Locked Mode so it can't be accessed or deleted.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Stoyo,

Thanks for the quick reply. Here is the code I am using to display the document borders:

// Define document dimentions to be that of a TV screen...
long nW = (long)GetDocument()->GetDisplayWidth() * 100; // My width calculation
long nH = (long)GetDocument()->GetDisplayHeight() * 100; // My height calculation
m_FlowCtrl.SetDocSize(0, 0, nW, nH); // 600 X 400
m_FlowCtrl.GetPrintOptions().SetPageMarkersFixedHeight(nH);
m_FlowCtrl.GetPrintOptions().SetPageMarkersFixedWidth(nW);
m_FlowCtrl.GetPrintOptions().SetPageMarkersColor(RGB(255,0,0));
m_FlowCtrl.GetPrintOptions().SetPageMarkersWidth(2);
m_FlowCtrl.GetPrintOptions().SetShowPageMarkers(TRUE); 

What is displayed on screen is the upper left corner and two lines extending vertically and horizontally and nothing else. The right corner lines are not displayed.

In the meantime I will continue to work on this and see if I can figure out the problem.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!!!
