Printing Styles in Foxpro 2.6

[girish]

How do I print Superscript/Subscript,bold,italic,underline etc. in foxpro 2.6.

If you select the object on the report then pick Font from the Object menu then you can have Bold or Italic but that's all.

But; I am talking about foxpro 2.6 for Dos; in which I remember that we can print bold,underline,superscript, subscript etc. using escape sequence like chr(27)+???
Please guide me in that sense.
Thanks & regards.

Thanks you sir. But sorry to state that none of the above link/sources helped me to resolve my prob. I want clear cut/straight forward code for printing :
1. Bold 2. Underline 3.Italics 4.Superscript 5.Subscript etc.
I am using Wipro's (P-1000 Model 1000 LPM) Line Matrix Printer.
Please favour me again.
Regards

You might get a better answer if you ask the manufacturer - it's not a FoxPro problem.

I beg to differ. Those links provide straightforward code.
For instance, to print bold for the LX80:

???CHR(27) + CHR(69) + "Some Text" + ;
   CHR(27) + CHR(70)

You will have to determine what codes are required for your particular printer and apply them.
If you are using a report form instead of printing one line at a time, you add a field with those codes in it before and after the text you want displayed.

There's a file in the foxpro\GOODIES folder named "PDRIVERS".
It has a lot of printer codes in it. You can use it as an example for your codes.

Although most printers have by now 'standardized' to work with generic Epson Programming Command Language (PCL), not all have done so.

"I am using Wipro's (P-1000 Model 1000 LPM) Line Matrix Printer"

Have you contacted your printer manufacturer or looked at their website to see what PCL commands they are using?

"I want clear cut/straight forward code for printing"

I agree with Dave above, you can't get more clear & straight forward than the suggestions provided in the links that he offered.

If your specific printer does not support those specific codes, you can modify the code once you get the correct PCL commands.

Good Luck,
