My App has a lot of tables. Finally gotten to a point where I can start printing them out.
Problem is that all 4 ways show the columns 3 different ways. Here is example of what I
am dealing with.
I took the first row as an example from one of my tables. The text is just the way I want
it on screen, printout and previews. The cell size is the problem.
Example
1) On my htmlwindow screen I took the first column. Measured the text and the cell is
twice the size of text. Some are less or more, but that isn't the point. I am just using the same
example for each.
text | approx like this
2) On htmleasyprinting preview comes up and the same column cell is 3 x's the text.
text | approx like this
3) If click print on the printdialog, you can click a preview there also and it is 4 x's and
so it the actual printout.
text | approx like this
It is going to be hard to get on screen and the previews and printout to match I gather.
But it is making my printouts way too big and won't fit on landscape. They will if I just
print it out with firefox,... But that isn't the point of make a program. Want to print it out
from the app.
The only way I can think of how to deal with this is to make two tables for each. One
for On Screen, the other Printer (and I guess PREVIEW) friendly.
Yes, I could make the cells percentages, but that screws up the way I want the tables
to look and they look lot different than the on screen. I would like to get approx the same
look with each and it doesn't seem possible.
How do you guys figure the best way to handle this is?
Thanks, Dave
