Hi, Following is my personal opinion not Macromedia's :)
>Also in hopes someone has solved this! Yeah, someone has to solve it..., either MM or you guys... As a developer myself I feel that components/controls can(should) never be 100% intelligent for printing purpose. It's would not be a good idea to bloat a components code with printing logic because not all users want to print stuff or everyone has a different requirement. However a mechanism which allows extensibility of components is more important. Like in this case, you can have a print view, which gets printed instead of actual view. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Spratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 12:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: PrintJob() To be clearer, despite several attempted examples (specifically the TechNote: "Flex 1.0: Sample code for printing from a DataGrid"), there is no way to get an entire scrollable area to print on a single page. Your example does not test this since the content fits within the control being printed. I mentioned this since in a Help system, it is reasonable to expect that there may be topics longer than will fit within a single display control's visible area. Also in hopes someone has solved this!
