While exploring the Clarion 7 IDE I accidentally came across a neat way to change the font size in the editor. Hold the Control key down and scroll your mouse wheel! It will increase or decrease the font size in a nice smooth action. For old timers like myself this is a very nice way to be able to zoom in to a section of code that I need to take a really close look at!

This works in both the file editor and the embed editor in Clarion 7. You can also set the font size manually by going to "Tools | Options" and then select the "Text Editor" node in the tree on the left.

If you use the Enable Printer Selection extension on your Icetips Previewer to allow users to select a printer, then there is a bug that can cause problems. Fortunately it is very easy to fix it and it has been fixed in our sources for our next release.

The problem comes up if a user selects a page range to print from the PrinterDialog rather than selecting a page range within the previewer. This causes the FromPage and ToPage properties of the printer object to be set but there were two lines of code missing that reset those properties to default.

There are two places that you need to fix:

"Local Objects|Icetips Previewer|Print to Selected Printer|End of Routine"
and
"Local Objects|Icetips Previewer|Print current page to Selected Printer|End of Routine"

In both of those embeds, place the following code and the problem is fixed:

 Printer {PROPPRINT:FromPage} = -1
 Printer {PROPPRINT:ToPage} = -1

This has already been fixed in the next build which will be out later this week. It would be out today if it were not for a problem that we discovered before the weekend with Clarion 7. The cause of it has already been found and I'm currently working on a fix for it:)
