SYMPTOMS
========
In FoxBASE+ for the Macintosh, you can print a screen snapshot by choosing Print
from the File menu. However, this functionality is not available in FoxPro for
Macintosh.
CAUSE
=====
The File Print command in FoxPro for Macintosh prints text information in a
single window only. A screen shot contains graphic images of multiple windows,
which cannot be printed through FoxPro for Macintosh. This behavior is by design
to ensure cross-platform compatibility in FoxPro, which can be run in either a
character- or graphics-based operating system. FoxPro relies on underlying
operating system functionality or third-party add-ins in order to print screen
shots.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this behavior, you can print a screen snapshot using the
Macintosh screen snapshot feature, as follows:
1. With the desired image on the screen, press COMMAND+SHIFT+3. A TeachText PICT
file will be created. The first screen snapshot will be named Picture 1; the
filename will be incremented by 1 for each successive picture. The file will
be created in the root folder of the current default volume (drive).
2. Return to the desktop and double-click the icon for the screen snapshot.
TeachText will open. From the File menu in TeachText, choose Print to print
the snapshot.
NOTE: You can also print the snapshot from other applications, such as Microsoft
Word for the Macintosh, that support the PICT file format.
