Vidsoft VSView, only cheaper...?

[crptcblade]

Anybody know of a cheap control that can be used to make Avery labels? Vidsoft has one, but its too GD expensive.

It's not too hard to do using the Printer object - I did it a while ago for a friend, but I'm buggered if I know where the code has gone for it...

Just divide the page up into appropriate rects, and you are away.

(OK, so it's not that straightforward, but it's not overly difficult, just a lot of stuffing around and wasted paper testing - unless you preview to a picture box)

Yes, why do you need another control? You can use the good old (umm,, ok not so good, but it's free!) Printer object to print whatever you want, in whichever size.

Of course, it's a little tedius job, but why not if you are going to save your GD money!!!

A tip: We are using the Printer object to print labels in Avery format.
