PrintTable (to printer or to graphic file)

Hi,

 

I'd like to suggest another command strengthening the table control: Because tables can be used also for documentation, it would be helpful to ease the printout of table controls by a dedicated command.

 

The PrintTable command should not print scrollbars, and it should include

 

- two integer attributes for the number of columns/rows that shall be printed per page

- a boolean attribute indicating if tables too large to fit on a page are split first horizontally or first vertically

- an integer attribute specifying the font size

- a boolean attribute if the header shall be repeated on subsequent pages

- a boolean attribute if the frame lines are printed or not

- two boolean attributes if the vertical/horizontal grid lines are printed

- an integer attribute specifying the thickness of the frame lines

- the option to generate graphic files (png, jpg): if several pages would be printed this should result in several graphic files

 

Right now these goals can be achieved only by creating a second, hidden table control with the requested attributes which is then filled programmatically.
