How to Print MSHFlexgrid data

[dreddski]

Hi there,
Here's another problem of mine. Please help me on how I can Print the data on my MSHFlexGrid.

Thanks in advance.I want to fully understand how it will get data from the MSHFlexgrid and print it.

What exactly do you want to do? for eg - get the data into the grid and then push a button to print - or must the flexgrid act like a "template" for a printed report?

Hi Sunshine,
If I already have a display in my MSHFLEXGRID, How will I be able to print all of its contents in my printer?

thanks!

Hi Zeezee,
Apparently I have already tried some of it but somehow, I cannot make it work? Really need further help to have at least a basic working code that prints all the data on the MSHFlexGrid including the header and the data which are not shown or hidden in the MSHFlexgrid table... Thanks!

Other experts, please help. Thank you very much

What you are saying then is that PrintForm or equivalent will not work and that you want all the cells to show on the hard copy. I believe in that case, you will have to use the printer object and oodles of Printer.Print commands in a nested loop that collects the values in each row, moving across all columns, one line at a time. Not easy, but feasible.
