Can I send LimeReport form to directly printer in Qt Console Application? »

[Mucip]

Hi,
I want to create LimeReport form on GUI. But I need to send this form directly to printer (no need to show or design!) in console application.
Is this possible? I did not test now but I guess It must be possible?

And what's trouble?
some th. like this

Code: [Select]

if (QPrinterInfo::defaultPrinter().isNull()) // no default printer in System
   return;
LimeReport::ReportEngine *m_report=new LimeReport::ReportEngine(this);
m_report->loadFromFile(path_to_template);
QPrinter *printer=new QPrinter(QPrinterInfo::defaultPrinter();
connect(m_report, &LimeReport::ReportEngine::renderFinished, printer, &QPrinter::deleteLater);
m_report->printReport(printer);
this code loads the report template from

Code: [Select]

path_to_template and send it to default system printer (if exist
after finsh the rendering created printer object will be destroyed

Oh..
QPrinter is not inherited from QObject
yep

I'll thing about how better

[Subst]

Try to change appropriate part of code to

Code: [Select]

QPrinter *printer=new QPrinter(QPrinterInfo::defaultPrinter());
connect(m_report, &LimeReport::ReportEngine::renderFinished, this, [this,printer]() {
  delete printer;
  });
m_report->printReport(printer)

Hi,
Houstan, we have a problem...

As I said I want to use LimeReport (print report to printer only!) .n console application in RP4.

I created one object in main.cpp. And do everything in this object (reading serial ports, wiringpi, sending limereport file to printer etc.)

But in the begining when I create Lime report in this pbject,

m_Limereport = new LimeReport::ReportEngine(this);

I got an error in console like:

QPixmap::fromImage: QPixmap cannot be created without a QGuiApplication

What do you advice?

The LR is using QGraphicsScene for rendering
QGraphisScene is using QWidget in turn.
You need it

Also may be your are using the pixamp in report template?

Hi,
Yes I have picture in design unfortunatelly.
This is very bad news.
Is this mean I can not use LimeReport in Console Application?

QPixmap - it's the GUI class, but QImage - not.
can you using the QImage ?

Hi,
I do not think that I can do something about this problem. May be Arin can?...

Because the problem comes when

m_Limereport = new LimeReport::ReportEngine(this);

Arin?...

Otherwise I need to rewrite all code in Python and fpdf2...

But I want to use Qt and LimeReport for sure...
