Print the contents of MSFlex grid

   MSFlexGrid1.Rows = 5
    MSFlexGrid1.Cols = 5
    For x = 0 To 4
        MSFlexGrid1.Row = x
        For y = 0 To 4
            MSFlexGrid1.Col = y
            MSFlexGrid1.Text = Str$(x) & Str(y)
        Next y
    Next x
   
   
    For x = 0 To 4
        MSFlexGrid1.Row = x
        For y = 0 To 4
            MSFlexGrid1.Col = y
            Printer.Print MSFlexGrid1.Text
        Next y
    Next x
    Printer.EndDoc

Hi Dabellei,

This doesn't seem to work. All that gets printed is a long series of numbers corresponding to the row & col nums. Any other suggestions

That's for sure if you look at the first part of the code i fill in the grid with those number  so what's print is what's inside the cells.

If you fill the grid with anything else like letter they will be print.

Now every cell is print on a different line because i use the print command for every cell if you want to print on the same line use ; after the print command.


    For x = 0 To 4
        MSFlexGrid1.Row = x
        For y = 0 To 4
            MSFlexGrid1.Col = y
            MSFlexGrid1.Text = chr$(65+x+y)
        Next y
    Next x
    
This code will fill the cell with letter instead of number.

Use this function wich print a traditional Grid. You could modify it. (if you modify it, please send me the code, it could be useful for me : waty.thierry@usa.net). It resizes the font ... :

Do you agree my question?

This doesn't work.

It works with grid. You have to modify it for use with msFlexGrid.
