Re: GtkAda. Printing

["ldries46" <bertus.dries@planet.nl>]

To check what you said I tried the following just added an extra 
declaration:
Print_OpR : Gtkada_Print_Operation_Record;
and replaced Print_Op with it: The error stayed
Then I changed Print_OpR in On_Draw_Page with Print_OpR'Access.
The Error stayed nut said they expected Gtk_Print_Operation_record.
When I Changed the declaration accordingly The Error said they expected 
Gtkada_Print_Operation_Record
This looks like an infinite loop, and again, my experience wiyh GPS ia that 
somtimes the compiler tries several ways to resolve a problem abd you have 
to find out which of the several Error messages is the solution for you. I 
stll think It is the last one

: expected type "Cb_Gtk_Print_Operation_Gtk_Print_Context_Gint_Void" defined 
at gtk-print_operation.ads:754
: found type access to procedure "Draw_Page" defined at line 191
:   ==> in call to inherited operation "On_Draw_Page" at 
gtkada-printing.ads:102

I still cannot find how to address the draw_page routine ib there

That depends on whether the operation is primitive or type specific. A
primitive operation is inherited. Draw_Page parameter types are

    access Gtk_Print_Operation_Record'Class;
    not null access Gtk_Context_Record'Class;
    Gint

not

    Gtk_Print_Operation_Record;
    Gtk_Print_Context;
    Gint
