Hello,
As I haven't found my free printer component, I try to build my own report
object in wysiwyg style.
My problem is I can't perforrm good  CopyRect

In my paint Tform method I use something like this :
....
Bitmap->Canvas->CopyRect( R, outCanvas, R );
 Canvas->Draw(0,0,Bitmap);

where outCanvas is (supposed  to be) the filled Tprint Canvas. But I have
only a white rectangular shape dysplayed in my TForm client area.

So is this rigth way to process ? There is another solution ?
Does the report object can help me in a simple way ?

Thx
JCG
