Hi...I am new to this forum..this being my first message.

I am working on a project in which i want to do billing. I have seen in various stores that the window in which they enter the values, it is not the same when the printout comes out, it is having some other format.

Can i Know how to print our own customised views while entering some data in a window ??

What is the format? Where do you print?

Hi,
One simplest way is to use word automation. You can move the data into a word document programatically, and do the printing. If needed we can give the generated output to the user itself b4 printing.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply...

I had the same thing in my mind, but do not know how to do this thing programatically. can you please help me out how to code this word automation. All what is to be done will be that some values have to be exported to the word document where our format of the printout will be ready. And from there we will have to fire the print out somehow.

I know the procedure, but how to code all this is not known by me. Please help me out.

Thanks,

Pankaj

The idea of having office or word and then making the print outs was one way for the solution to the problem. What you have said is very true, and shouldbe thought over.

Well, as far as i am concerned, i am not aware of it at all. If you can help me out regarding it then please let me know.

Hi toxcct,
if office is not there means, then we must have to provide another method like creating a text file, placing the data within that, and print.

ok, so i assume you know how to insert advanced formating operations in pure txt files, or better, pictures...
hummm, i don't really think you go the right way.

Hi,

If I understand correctly the print out is not considered to be entire documents?

Doesn't matter consider following:
Maybe you can choose RTF format for that. The RichEdit Control supports that format, you can print it out from code and Word can open it when you write it to file.
We use it in our product here (@ my job) all the time...

It's also a little easier than automation.

Look on MSDN about rtf codes, printing rtf and the RichEdit controls.

Hope this helps!!

I used MFC and then I put just three line codes in OnDraw Handler(?)..

void CImgViewerView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CImgViewerDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
if (!pDoc)
return;

// from here
Graphics g(pDC->GetSafeHdc());
Image img(L"test.jpg");
g.DrawImage(&img, 10,10);
}

I compiled and linked.. it was OK.. but..
This cause runtime error in Image img(L"test.jpg");
I can't figure it out why it happens..
I also added startup and shutdown code..
why?

I'm with VS.net 2003

Does the file exist in the current directory?

Gee, did you do any research of your own before asking this question ?

Of course you can. You just need to install the SDK.
