Articles OWL HOW Needs

OWL HOW really needs articles on the topics below.

If you want to suggest a topic, please use the contribution form and it will be placed in this list.

 

Doc-View Tutorial

I must admit that even I do not properly understand Doc-View in OWL. This needs to be a (possibly step-by-step) tutorial on Doc-View explaining it in terms that everyone can understand, showing the right way to do it.

Using TRichEdit

How to use the TRichEdit class, not just for plain old boring text editing, but how to do things like inserting an image using OLE, text justification, formatting and more. What would be good is an example of, say, how to use it to display a subset of HTML.

Printing

How to print using OWL. Multi-page documents and scaling printouts to match the printer's capabilities. What roles TPrinter and TPrintout play in the process and who is responsible for counting pages, scaling etc.

Images

Displaying and changing bitmaps, GIFs, JPGs on a TDialog or within a frame?

SetWindowRgn

An example that will demonstrate the use of the Win32 SetWindowRgn API function to create non rectangular windows in OWL. (In progress.)
