Printing Multi column

[darknesspic]

Hi all, 

      I have some data in the Multi column list box on the Front panel, I want to put one button for printing directly to my printer, please advise there is any solution.

Thank you

If you simply want to print the front panel, use the Vi method Print.VI to Printer.

If you want more, you'll need to create a PDF or Word report with a (3rd party) toolkit.

Thank you, I tried. Print.VI print the whole Front panel. But I would like to print the multi-column list box.

Please guide me, thank you.

I faced the same situation as you do in the past. What I did is to create a sub VI that I called to print. The front panel color was white and only the things I needed to print was shown with the formatting I needed. By doing so, I didn't had to change my GUI.

Yes, you'll either need to make a front panel suitable for printing, and then print it, or create a PDF or Word (etc.) report with a (3rd party) toolkit.

Look in the report generation toolkit (Functions>Programming>Report Generation).  You can just make a standard report, then use 'Append Control Image to Report', then print from there.
