that end users crave. Build-in print functionality offers the developer instant
reporting delivering on what end-users want the most. Many of the controls in
Solutions::PIM are able to produce a printed report of their contents complete
with a custom header. Controls supporting built-in print functionality:
ctCalendar,
ctList,
ctMonth,
ctMDay, and

report. 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.

reports. The controls supporting PrintInWindow are: ctCalendar,
ctDate,
ctList, ctMonth,
