Hello, people.
1) DrawView(BView *viewtoprint
BeBooks says that viewtoprint must be attached to window.
Does it meant that we cannot print (directly) view attached to BBitmap?
(As far as my own experience shows, drawing at BBitmap also heavily inolves
app_server, so i'm unsure how to interpret that sentense from BeBook)
2)BeBook says that DrawView() results in calling viewtoprint->Draw().
As i understand the idea, app_server here hooks all drawing instructions, but
renders using printer driver, instead "screen driver").
But there are some questions here
a)when DrawView returns - when returns viewtoprint->Draw() ?
b)What to do if viewtoprint->Draw() is really very asynchronous by
implementation, e.g. it only sends somewhere message with update rect as
content?
Should we wait somewhere some kind of feedback from that drawing-worker and
call SpoolJob only then?
