Fast way to print datagrid directly

edited December 2010 in General
The question must have been answered before but could find it in the list.
What is the fastest way to DIRECTLY print the content of a datagrid seen on
a form (data may be more then one page in lenght). I'm not asking for all of
the dataset but for the actual content of the datagrid (sql filtered). By
the way my datagrid is TwwDBGrid if it makes any difference. I do not want
to use report banding - i need just plain dbgrid report as it is seen on the
form, with may be options for cell borders drawing, title and footer.
Printing could be done on PDF on directly on printer AND with option for
PREVIEW.

Thanks.

(note: this is something that can be done with packages selled by PrintDATA
or Greatis's PrintJob)

    Hello,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these

    ReportBuilder does not have any built-in features to print a datagrid
    directly however it would easily be possible to loop through the data
    presented (or just the data returned by the dataset) on the form and create
    corresponding report components. This is similar to the way the report
    wizard functions.
