I would like to see better printing function in a new version of vds... like printing tables, or printing lists with columns, etc...
There is not a single vds dll that can create professional looking reports Confused

I've tried the 'VDS Report create', but it's a bit expensive, and I don't even know if it is what I want... You'll have download three other dlls to get it working, and I just didn't had time to download them Sad

Just a thought Wink

Regards,
Vic

A workaround would be to format your content in HTML and then print the tagged file..

If you print a table right now, are the columns aligned or they just seperated with a single space?

You could use my wordwrap DSU... If you want I'll send it to you Smile

But isn't there a dll or API to print directly, without interference of Windows? (or would somebody like to make one Wink)

Regards,
Vic

Hi Vic
I was thinking of making a Printdll for VDS with Print-preview for quite sometime now - but I am currently too busy to do that. May be sometime later I do it.

I for one would buy such a print .dll!

For now, I am formatting in HTML and printing in the background...

Cheers,
