Since MapInfo has gone .NET it is no longer possible to print the full contents of a selection displayed into a browser window without first saving or exporting the query to another format such as txt or xls

You used to be able to run an SQLQuery and then print the results. Now this only prints what is displayed on screen (sometimes missing the last row).

Could there be a facility to print the full query results to a printer or pdf via the 'Print.

We found it was extremely difficult to print this new WPF browser window to multiple pages and it never came out WYSIWYG when we attempted to implement multi-page printing of browsers that used the newer .Net data-grid in WPF windows. Printing of these particular WPF windows currently fits to page only, so if your column contents exceeded a single page width it 'squishes' down to fit contents to this single page. These WPF windows were an absolute nightmare to try and print multi-page due to tiling of this column and row data-grid contents. It was then decided to spend this effort on other prominent features when user could export browser contents pretty easily to Excel (or other formats) and print them in their entirety with a lot more customization than MIPro ever provided for printing browsers. It's not a closed issue to try and re-implement multi-page printing of browsers, just a lower priority at this time.

Thx,

Thanks Bill, Yes the export to excel is ok, it was the fact that there is no warning that the whole browser contents was not being printed. Clients who recently updated their MapInfo's complained that they were missing records, as they were used to just being able to print the browser contents.
