#342 Use of undocumented Win32 function DeviceCapabilitiesEx in TPrintDC

[Vidar Hasfjord]

The implementation of TPrintDC::DeviceCapabilities uses the undocumented Win32 function DeviceCapabilitiesEx. See [discussion:a64befb5].

This issue has now been mitigated on the trunk, by moving TPrintDC::DeviceCapabilities to OWL5_COMPAT mode [r3404]. On the Owlet branch, TPrintDC::DeviceCapabilities has been removed altogether [r3403]. Client code should use Win32 DeviceCapabilities instead.

The dll stub is a good idea for those who can't rebuild.
I think that TPrintDC::DeviceCapabilities should be moved to OWL5_COMPAT in all active branches and force developpers to use Win32 DeviceCapabilities instead.

[Vidar Hasfjord]

Thanks for the feedback, Regis! We'll go with this solution then.

The fix on the trunk [r3404], relegating TPrintDC::DeviceCapabilities to OWL5_COMPAT mode, has now been merged into new prerelease branches for 6.35 [r3411] and 6.43 [r3412]. A new version of OWLMaker, with support for the new branches, has been uploaded.
