Hello,
I am trying to create a small application that creates labels and I have
purchased a thermal transfer label printer. Now I need to be able to print
the formatted label to the printer without the browser header/footer and
without margins or borders....
Any starting ideas or links to resources that may help me...
Thanks

Yes, but how do you print the image without the IE borders/page 1 or 1 and
the URL footer?
I guess I am asking how to print from ASP.NET with controlled output.
From my research it is important to note that the printer is on the server
or LAN shared and mapped to the server
I looked at CSS print, but only controlled content, not the print itself.

If you are planning to print from the browser, you will need to control
print borders, headers and footers directly from the browser. For
Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and (I think) Mozilla, go to
File, Page Setup on the main menu and you will see options specifically
for these and other print settings.
I have found HTML opened from the browser to not be very good for
precise printing. Instead, it may pay to generate the labels in
another application and open it from the browser. For example, you
could use Office Web Components (OWC) to generate an Excel spreadsheet
which is formatted precisely for your labels. The spreadsheet can then
be opened in Excel from a link you provide in the browser.
Another approach that I have taken is to generate a comma-delimited
text file from the web application and store it on the server. The
user is then directed to open a MS Word document which is set up for a
mail merge. When the user opens the document, he/she is prompted to
enter a username. From that point, code in the document sets the mail
merge source to the appropriate csv file previously created on the
server. The advantage of this method is that the users (who were all
very experienced in doing MS Word mail merges) can individually change
the formatting to suit their needs. The disadvantage is that the
method is a bit clumsy because it required a few extra steps. Also, MS
Office security must be adjusted on each workstation to allow macros to
run. It does, however, produce perfect mailing label prints.

I am struggling to develop a robust mechanism for server-side printing with
formatted documents.
I need to produce print-spool files from the remote server-side application.
This isn't straightforward with PrintDocument, so I have had to create a new

the spool file problem, but I have since been having trouble with formatted
text.

Hi
I'm currently developping a skinnable form by using a borderless form
(Form.FormBorderStyle=None). Is it the right way to go in the first place?
if it is. Assuming that when there is no border to the form there is no
context menu when you right-click on your form in the start bar too (the one
with Restore, Move, Size, Close et al.)... How can I make this context menu
work again? Is there a way to tell the form to make it work even if...

Hi,
I wasn't happy with the customisability of the standard Windows form,
so I decided to implement my own. Basically what I did was extend a
borderless form and add my own borders and caption bar to it so it
looks and functions like a normal bordered sizable form. However the
only thing I can't figure out is maximising. When I maximise my form,
it fills up the whole screen and covers up the Windows taskbar. I can
understand why you...

Hi all,
I was wondering how I can perform formatted output with C++ strings. For
example, suppose I have in plain C:
sprintf(C_string, "%5.2f %6d");
How can I do such a thing with C++ strings? Using a string stream and
the << operator does not give me the formatting control like sprintf. Or
did I miss something.... :-|

Hi
I have been writing Access applications for some years now and have moved away from from the 'Switchboard' type of opening form to using a menubar accross the top of the screen and borderless form used as a 'background', which shows a graphic, revision status & contact details etc
The menu-bar works fine when clicked by a mouse, but beeps when using an Alt+ letter 'acceleration' key, unless another user-form is already open over the top...

I have a borderless form in C#.
The form has an icon specified in its properties and I also have the same icon specified for the project in the project properties.
When I had a border on the form, the icon was displayed in the task bar. But when I set the border to None, the icon no longer displays. The taskbar button only shows the text name of my program.
How can I get the icon to display in the taskbar for a borderless form?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
