Hello,
I use a form to show a status report on certain extensive macro operations in a textbox control.
Now I would like to enable the user to save and print this report. Saving works and printing kind of too , but not really satisfying (German 'special' characters are replaced with graphic ones and when printing to 'FinePrint' (nice program to adjust output before actual printing) nothing happens at all). So I think my implementation using the Windows API (OpenPrinter -> StartDocPrinter -> StartPagePrinter -> WritePrinter -> EndPagePrinter -> EndDocPrinter -> ClosePrinter) is not really an easy and elegant way.
And I still believe that printing the content of a textbox cannot be that tricky, can it ??
So please open my eyes to the real way .
Many thanks
