The generalFormRequest ATL COM module manages
and fills out a PDF based form system
API browser of generalFormResponse430 COM module


/images/arrow_right.png IGeneralFormResponseManager::Print method
The Print method prints the response data of an accepted XML type on the local printer. The printer selection is done via the used report generator template file. If the template file was not connected to a printer with the PrintSetup method then the default printer with its default settings is used.

The bstrPrintTemplate variable obeys a special syntax and can optionally be used to set special print commands like producing PDFs or changing print object dynamically.


IMPORTANT LICENSE NOTE The report engine used is Hexatech's ViewPro (www.hexatech.com). If you supply your own template files then you must have your own ViewPro license. By using this COM module you implicitly agree upon this restriction!! 		space
