Question

We’re building a custom output display dialog. In it we display thumbnails (bitmaps) in a listbox. There is also a larger, detail view which is a GDI vector image retrieved from PrintPreviewEventArgs (PreviewPrintController) and displayed in a WindowsFormsHost:PictureBox. The thumbnail bitmaps are created from the original GDI image, so it would appear that the image did contain the text at some point.

All is fine on a 32-bit box. When we run the app on a 64-bit machine (we build targeting an x86 platform so we're running in the 32-bit emulator), the thumbnails are fine, but the main image is missing all text. The graphic elements - lines, table borders and background colors, etc are rendered, but no text.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem had to do with using TextRenderer.DrawText instead of Graphics.DrawString during the print.
