[perl-win32-gui-users] got a pretty strange question :) Printing in PERL & Gui

[Danny Z. <da...@be...>]

Dear perl-win32-gui-users,

  I have got a database running, and it accessable via the web (normal
  perl programmation -> web interface)

  Now I want to realize a programmation that will permit to use the
  database locally, main reason, I want to write it to CD-ROM and
  start distributing it to the general public.

  There is no problem with realizing this with the great Win32::GUI
  module, BUT ..... I also want a solution that I can print certain
  pages of my catalog.

  How do I need to cover this topic ? is there somewhere a option in
  Win32::GUI to start printing pages with a certain layout.. Can I use
  perl for this kind of app that i'm willing to realize?  For being
  clear, I don't want to make screenshots of the Window :)
  


If you have any questions, whatsoever, please feel free to contact us.

I'm interested in printing (to paper) as well.  It seems most solutions involve
plain text files and a command line PRINT or COPY LPT1 scenario.

I would love to print a page with a graphic (bar code) without using a web
browser.


Thanks,

Dear Reini,


hmm not the best solution :)

i'm thinking of using some component and writing data to it ..  (such
as parsing html manually :) ) .. and then printing

i did a expirement with VB (yuk i know) and a OCX created by somebody
.. it works really great .. is it maybe possible to use a OCX on a
way or a other ?

Best regards,
