Jim,
Is all the information you want to print visible on the grid on the screen?
If this is the case, you can capture and image of the screen, the form or
just portion of the form (grid) and print it the image. If there is more
information in the grid than the one displayed on the form, then you will
need to create a report .
One client wanted to be able to print a screen shot of a multi-table form
and just about that time a PROPERTY command became available to do just
that:
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM PRINT 'PRINTER'
Which prints the currently displayed form image to the current printer.
The command:
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|365,228,915,625' &vMyImage
Will capture an image of a portion of the screen as defined by the number
locating the upper left and bottom right corners.
Now, a nice option would be to have a command that captures the
screen-formatted image of any item:
PROPERTY component ID 'CAPTURE_IMAGE' my_image .jpg
Although I believe you can create your own by capturing (GETPROPERTY) the
top, left, width and height and plugging them into the PROPERTY RBASE_FORM
'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|..." command.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - printing information from a DBGRID
Within a form, I have a DBGrid that shows specific information based on the
cursor location in another form location.
What I want to do, without creating another report, is give the user the
ability to print only the information in the DBGRID.
This would be within a compiled application.
This would be much like when you are in a table itself while in the explorer
mode and you want to print table data.
How would I go about doing this?
