Table Printing

To print the table, the ITabSheetPrinter interface is used.

The example displays setting up page parameters and printing parameters for a regular report with the REPORT_TAB identifier.

As a result of executing the example, the first page of the report will be printed.

Example

Executing the example requires to add links to the Drawing, Metabase, Report, Tab system assemblies.
