Picture from HTMLViewer

Recently a client asked on how to get an image from a htmlviewer.

Well, on Windows this is easy as we have only one function there: HTMLViewer.IEImageMBS as picture. This gives you an image. We recommend you resize htmlviewer to IEScrollHeightMBS/IEScrollWidthMBS to have the whole page visible.

On Mac we have more options:

HTMLViewer.RenderDocumentToEPSMBS as Memoryblock
HTMLViewer.RenderDocumentToPDFMBS as MemoryblockHTMLViewer.RenderEPSMBS as Memoryblock
HTMLViewer.RenderPDFMBS as Memoryblock
HTMLViewer.RenderWebsiteImageMBS(ResolutionScale as double = 1.0) as NSImageMBS
HTMLViewer.PrintDialogMBS(sheetTarget as window=nil, PDFFile as folderitem=nil) as boolean
HTMLViewer.PrintDialogVisibleMBS as boolean
HTMLViewer.PrintingEndMBS
HTMLViewer.PrintingPageMBS(index as UInt32) as Memoryblock
HTMLViewer.PrintingStartMBS(width as double, height as double) as integer
HTMLViewer.PrintMBS(PDFFile as folderitem=nil) as boolean
HTMLViewer.PrintToPDFFileMBS(PDFFile as folderitem, LeftMargin as double = 50.0, TopMargin as double = 50.0, RightMargin as double = 50.0, BottomMargin as double = 50.0) as boolean

and if you query the WebviewMBS from HTMLViewer or you have no HTMLViewer, but only a WebviewMBS, you can use this methods:

WebViewMBS.RenderDocumentToEPS as Memoryblock
WebViewMBS.RenderDocumentToPDF as Memoryblock
WebViewMBS.RenderWebsiteImage as NSImageMBS
WebViewMBS.RenderImage(subviews as boolean=false) as variant
WebViewMBS.PrintToPDFFile(PDFFile as folderitem, LeftMargin as double = 50.0, TopMargin as double = 50.0, RightMargin as double = 50.0, BottomMargin as double = 50.0) as boolean
method dataWithEPSInsideRect(left as double, top as double, width as double, height as double) as Memoryblock
method dataWithPDFInsideRect(left as double, top as double, width as double, height as double) as Memoryblock

So you can get with various ways images or PDF. And from PDF you can of course make image, too.
