How to print WebGadget in Linux?

[Kukulkan]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to let the WebGadget print it's content to the current default printer on Linux?

I found webkit-web-frame-print-full() in WebGKitGtk developer documentation, but I don't know how to activate?
http://webkitgtk.org/reference/WebKitWe ... print-full

Any tips?

...something I have done on Windows is to create a printable file by screen-capturing the page of interest.

Hello IdeasVacuum,

This, sadly, is not sufficient for me. The Browser-Window is resizable and I can not assume that everybody has the window big enough. At least as I'm displaying user-content that may have a length of several pages...

I currently solved it that way:
1) use body-text to replace "</html>" with "<script>window.print();</script></html>"
2) save the message body again (same filename)
3) force the webgadget to reload using SetGadgetText(webMessageID, "file:///" + strBodyFile.s)

The javascript code is executed on load and starts printing. Uncommon, but it works so far.

Best,

Kukulkan

...that sounds like a nifty solution to me, sure to be useful to other folk too.

Do you need to force it to reload? It auto-reloads here for me when I set the new gadget text.
