Previewing & Printing Document From RTE Control

Print previewing a RTE document is simpler than DataWindow print previewing. You need to just call Preview() for the RTE control.

rte_1.Preview( True )

Similar to the DataWindow print preview, at run-time user can't edit the document in the RTE control when the RTE control is in the preview mode. However, you can modify the document through scripting. If you want to check whether the RTE is in the preview mode call IsPreview().

Call Print() to print the document from RTE control.

rte_1.Print(1, "", True, True)

The first argument specifies the number of copies and second one says the page range. If you do not specify the page range it will print all the pages. If you need to find out the number of pages it is going to print, call PageCount().
