Welcome to Quick Print - an easy to use utility for all your programs which need to print. Using Quick Print, you can print word-wrapped paragraphs, well-formatted columns, as well as lines, rectangles, rounded rectangles and ellipses. This file describes how to incorporate Quick Print in your applications. See the file qprint.txt for a description of all the functions available in Quick Print.

In order to incorporate Quick Print in your Visual Basic applications, simple include the file qprint.bas in your project. 

In case of Visual C++, add the files declare.h and qprint.lib to your project.

Now, you need to create a resource file for your project. In order to do this, simply copy the files testapp.rc and makeres.bat to the default directory of your project. Then edit the file using Notepad. If you already have a resource file for the project, make an entry in the StringTable section of the resource file, similar to the one present in testapp.rc.  Replace the string "Quick Print Test Application" with the name of your application( or any other name which you want to appear in the Print Queue of Windows ). 

If you are using Visual Basic, run the makeres.bat utility. This will make a compiled resource file( with a .res extension ). Include this .res file in your project. The makeres.bat file assumes that the name of the resource file is testapp.rc, that the name of the compiled resource file that you want is testapp.res and that the Resource Compiler( RC.EXE ) is present in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards" directory. If it is not present in that directory, Use the Find command in the Start Menu to search your entire hard drive for the RC.EXE file. Change the relevant entries in makeres.bat to make them compatible with your requirements.

Quick Print also comes with a Visual Basic example program named testapp.exe. If you are using Visual Basic, you should open the project and have a look at the source code. If you don't have Visual Basic, you can browse through the main.frm file in order to understand how Quick Print should be used.
