FlexGrids

Can I print the data of a flexgrid to the printer. If so what code will do it. I have tried Printer.Print Flexgrid This only prints the first cell ????

Print MSFlexGrid
================
Here's a quick way to print a MSFlexGrid control's contents:
Printer.PaintPicture MSFlexGrid_Name.Picture, 0, 0
Printer.EndDoc

And if you want it to be the full length of the printer page add this before those two statements:
Dim old_width as Integer
MSFlexGrid_Name.width=printer.width

and this at the end:
MSFlexGrid_Name.width=old_width

Printing MSFlexgrid
===================

You have the same problem with me. There is one solution, print the MSFlexigrid as bitmap. But, the printing quality is not good. The other method is to draw line and put text on the printer object - Printer.line (argument list), and Printer.Print (Text to print). It is OK if we test to one printer. But there must be a problem of printer compatibality. Different printer has different scaling. I have tried this method, it was worked on laser but not the other printer. I still do not know how to get the correct scaling to make my printing function is working on all types of printers (drivers). In the market, ComponentOne offers VSPrint 7. I have not tried it, is it OK or not..

By the way, if you have found the solution, please share the information with me. At the same time I am still invetigating the problem.

Thank you.
