The ActiveX Simple Print Module from FYIT was developed to provide an easy
way for Visual Basic Developers (and other developers using ActiveX capable
programming languages) to create, view, print, and save standard RTF/Text
documents. This control utilizes the Rich Text Box Control developed by
Microsoft and provides an easy interface to add lines of formatted text.
The interface
to SimPrint has 2 different modes, page view and scrolling view, and
this can be chosen through the Admin -> Settings menu. When in
the page view, users can click the <<< & >>> buttons to see
different pages. When in scrolling view, users can use the scroll bars
to scroll up and down in the document.
From the SimPrint screen, users can choose to 'Print All', which will
print everything in the SimPrint viewer; to 'Print Page', which will
print only the page you are currently on; to 'Save' the text in Rich
Text Format, which can be edited through a word processor such as
Microsoft Word; to view, edit and format the information through a
word processor with the 'Alt Viewer' button, or to 'Close'.
Where the SimPrint information is saved to when you perform a 'Save' is
controlled through the Admin -> Settings menu.
The full version is now FREEWARE.
