Description

The fastest way to add printing to an application. Simply pass your heading, paragraph, and grid data to the printing engine to write your document. Invisibly handles numbered pages, page tiling, text wrapping, formatting, headers, fonts and line spacing. A single print class gives your application 5 different report formats, because the identical print operation can output to the Windows printer or to Text, CSV, RTF and HTML files.

Optionally, you can add the user interface which lets customers format reports to their own requirements. Font size / italic / bold / underline, line spacing, tiling etc can be set for each report element. User settings can be saved in an Ini file so your customer individually tailors each report type with no code needed.

Although the report has a generic appearance, this is an excellent way to print text and-or tables when the length of the report is indeterminate or paper size must be flexible. Page tiling means wide tables are printed across multiple pages.
