Print Options:

Solutions::PIM Professional makes it easy to create powerful appointment scheduling applications that end users crave. Combine the unique functionality with built-in printing and developers have instant reporting at their fingertips. Deliver what end-users want the most - reports. Many of the controls in Solutions::PIM Professional are able to produce a printed report of their contents complete with custom headers. Controls supporting the built-in print functionality are: ctCalendar, ctList, ctMonth, ctMDay, and ctYear.

Additionally, many of the controls in Solutions::PIM Professional contain a PrintInWindow method. This event allows a snapshot of the control to be printed anywhere on a page. When a programmer uses the host language to obtain a valid printer handle, they can create their own custom reports. After the handle has been obtained, the programmer can use the PrintInWindow method to place one or more of the controls anywhere on the page for flexible report formatting. The controls supporting PrintInWindow are: ctCalendar, ctDate, ctList, ctMonth, and ctMDay.

Feature Components:

First off, ctDate is a visual representation of a monthly calendar depicting one or more months at a time. Following is ctMonth, a more sophisticated calendar capable of containing text and images for each date. Up next is ctCalendar, a scrolling calendar with the ability to show multiple weeks at a time. And then ctYear, a control capable of displaying an entire year in a single view
• Multi-Column Day View Components: Every schedule is comprised of a series of appointments, and in order to keep track of daily appointments, Solutions::PIM Professional includes the unique multi-column day/resource view, ctMDay. Adding appointments is incredibly easy with the ctMDay control. Simply click, drag or select an area within the control, and start typing. The appointment is automatically created when the first key is entered. ctMDay's multiple columns can be implemented to show multiple days in a single view, or multiple resources in a single view. The ctMDay control now allows for the time increment to be set for any value from 1 to 60, and not just for just the standard 5, 10, 15... minute increments. An ideal feature for golf courses, tee-time scheduling which requires a seven (7) minute interval is now possible
