Thanks for your response. Actually I already know I have to create
"OnPrint" method followed by adding the menu named "Print" that calls
"OnPrint" method. But the problem I am facing is to implement it. Here
are the codes I am adding (from Tutorial) which make an editor and I
want to add printing option so that I can print whatever is written in
the editor. I will appreciate if you add coding with this file.
