How to use those two methods in SDK OLE Automation? We are not very sure how to pass parameters for those two methods. Actually we want to get a image copy of the Genogram in our application through SDK OLE Automation. Can we achieve that? Thanks.

The full source code is available for download at http://www.genopro.com/sdk/automation/ in the file http://www.genopro.com/sdk/automation/GenoProAutomationVB6.zipPrivate WithEvents m_GenoPro As GenoPro.Document
Private Sub btnOpenGenoPro_Click()
Set m_GenoPro = New GenoPro.Document
m_GenoPro.SetTextXML (txtSource.Text)
m_GenoPro.SavePictureOfGenoMap 0, "c:\genomap.emf"
End Sub |

Our company is all using C#, so I have downloaded GenoProAutomationCsharp.zip. And try to use GetPictureOfGenoMap. What should I pass in for the parameter (ref object).? I have tried a lot of times, but no idea. I also notice that this method returen Object. What is the object? Thanks very much for your help.

We need to integrate the genogram diagram to our standard reports in the easy way, that's why we are thinking to get a image (BMP or JPEG) copythrough SDK. We are planing to purchase the site license if it is durable. I hope License type is Perpetual.

Your right, purchasing GenoPro is not a subscription - that is, it is a one-time payment where can use it forever without spending any extra money. Site license allows everyone in the organization to use GenoPro both at work or at home for personal project. Purchasing GenoPro does not give lifetime free upgrades. We will offer comprehensive discounts for customers upgrading to future versions.

In the ideal world, GenoPro should also be available in a dynamic-link library (DLL), where the GenoPro's objects would be available within the same process address space as your project. If you give us a bit more information of your needs, I may be able to assist you, or perhaps add a routine to make your project work.

That's good. We are not expecting free upgrading forever, it is not right. Normally how long is the period for free upgrading? How much you charge for upgrading? how long is the period for free upgrading again after upgarde? Thanks.

How much you charge for upgrading? how long is the period for free upgrading again after upgarde? Thanks. Since GenoPro 1.00 was released, everyone got a free upgrade to GenoPro 2007, including those who purchased GenoPro at $10 back in year 2000. Since its release, GenoPro 2007 had 14 free updates, including the availability of GenoPro in 26 languages. Every major update includes free updates for at least one year, and perhaps two years. We plan to release a new upgrade every two years. You still have one year to use GenoPro 2007. Our upgrade policy is a 50% to 80% discount of the purchased price, depending on the time you purchased GenoPro before the upgrade become available. We will have a preview of GenoPro Gamma available in a few months, however this version will be available to our selected customers for testing purpose.

Thanks for your reply. We are software house to develop EMR system for hospitals. Some of them now asked for genogram module. Now one hospital is confirmed to want the module. We are exploring whether we can use GenoPro to build that module. Our plan is that launch GenoPro through the OLE Automation, so users can draw genogram in GenoPro and we can get the XML info when users quit GenoPro. We will save those info to server. It is no issue about that. But users also need to include the genogram diagram in standard reports. The easy solution for us is that we also get one image copy of diagram when users quit the genopro, so we can save it to the server and can easily use it in our reports. Now I do not know whether we can get the image copy of diagram easily (it can be BMP or JPEG file. Even can in Clipboard). Actually we know you have copy function, we can get the image copy from clipboard, but users do not accept extra steps. We must be able to get it automatically. I think we can more or less confirm the deal if you can help us to confirm that we can do that. I also have confidence to sell more Site licences to other hospital in the future if things are work well. Thanks.

But users also need to include the genogram diagram in standard reports.
One mechanism
By the way, GenoPro 1.x was capable to generate RTF reports with embedded PNG files. The RTF reports have been disabled for GenoPro 2007 because of Unicode issues. Since Version 2.0.1.2, GenoPro includes Microsoft Word and OpenOffice reports. Perhaps I could add new methods to include a genogram inside those reports.
The easy solution for us is that we also get one image copy of diagram when users quit the genopro, so we can save it to the server and can easily use it in our reports.
You can call the method SavePictureOfGenoMap() at the same time you save the XML genogram. You can do this when the user quits GenoPro, or trap the Save event when the user clicks on the Save button. The method SavePictureOfGenoMap() will create a metafile (vector-based image with transparent background) of the genogram. The first parameter is a zero-based index of which GenoMap you want to save. You can import/include the metafile in any word processor, or render it to a Bitmap or PNG. I would avoid the JPEG format for genograms because they will produce bigger files and blured images.
Actually we know you have copy function, we can get the image copy from clipboard, but users do not accept extra steps. We must be able to get it automatically.
I can provide you a method named CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard() where the entire genogram is automatically copied to the clipboard. On your side, you extract the clipboard content and paste it wherever you like.

Thanks very much for your reply. We can have the confidence to finilize the things with users now. We will come back to you soon.

If you download and install http://www.genopro.com/download/InstallGenoPro.2.0.1.6.exe, you will get the new method named CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard.The following code will copy all the GenoMaps to the clipboard. Of course, it is pointless to copy *all* GenoMaps to the clipboard because the clipboard can only store one graphic item (ie, only one GenoMap): Set oDoc = ReportGenerator.Document
For Each g In GenoMaps
If (g.DrawingObjects.Count > 0) Then
oDoc.CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard g
End If
Next |

Thanks very much. You will receive the order from NHG very soon.
We are using C# and we are trying to test the new method using your simple project GenoProAutomationCsharp.We saw the new method, but I am not sure how to pass in the ref object genomap as the parameter.
Can you help us to complete the "?????" part?
private void CreateGenoProInstanceIfNeeded()
{
if (m_GenoProDocument == null)
{
m_GenoProDocument = new GenoPro.DocumentClass(); // create instance
m_GenoProdocument.OnDocumentSaving += new GenoPro.IGenoDocumentEvents_OnDocumentSavingEventHandler(m_GenoProDocument_OnDocumentSaving);
m_GenoProdocument.OnDocumentClosing += new GenoPro.IGenoDocumentEvents_OnDocumentClosingEventHandler(m_GenoProDocument_OnDocumentClosing);
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
m_GenoProdocument.CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard(?????);
} |

We made a fix. If you download and install http://www.genopro.com/download/InstallGenoPro.2.0.1.6.exeagain, it will work. Previously, the function prototype was
| void CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard([in] VARIANT * genomap); |
and we changed it to
| void CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard([in] VARIANT genomap); |
Such code was working fine under a script such as VBScript or JavaScript, however was requiring a reference for a language such as C#. With the new update, you can call the function directly.
m_GenoProdocument.CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard(0);
m_GenoProdocument.CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard("GenoMap1");
m_GenoProdocument.SavePictureOfGenoMap(0, @"c:\picture.emf"); |
GenoPro has many more functions and methods, and a mechanism to access collections such as all the GenoMaps, individuals, families, pictures, places, however those collections are only accessible from a script running within GenoPro. We need to create a .DLL of GenoPro so those collections are accessible within the address space of your program.
If you want to analyze a picture of a GenoMap, you can use CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard() or SavePictureOfGenoMap() and then read the file from disk and do your analysis. GenoPro only supports the enhanced metafile format, however you can easily convert to PNG, BMP or JPEG.
It turns out that while working on collaboration we found many bug related to injecting XML to GenoPro that we have to say that this simple do not work. Full import/export of data with GenoPro willfinally work withGenoPro Gamma.
