Grid2Print - Test Version

This is a Test Version of Grid2Print. It is just raw and I have to work a lot to be more generic. It is just out of curiosity and to have some suggestions I am sharing this with you. Don't get afraid on seeing my BAD programming skills. Believe me I am just an accountant by profession and not a professional programmer.
Unzip the contents into a folder and build the gridprint.hpj using the latest HMG IDE.
I used a constant (0.07) to convert a logical unit to points. It seems to work well. I don't know what the logic would be behind this number.
GridPrint test version can be downloaded from
here.

Good job, thanks
...It is just out of curiosity
We need such util: "A generic report generator". I hope this will be begining of development.
I am not a professional programmer
No matter profession, you are a good programer. There are many worst profesional
I used a constant (0.07)
Talk me about it ! We need either a function such as
LenStrInPixel( <cString>, <aFont> ) --> <nLengthInPixel> (*)
or adequatly learning logic would be behind this topic.
(*) <aFont> : Font properties array: name, size, bold, italic ...
Anyway, many thanks to your offer.
Regards

All my test goes ok excepting landscape printing. It appears to not be centered.

I had taken the left margin as given (or default 20 mm) by the user. Therefore, the page is not centered.
I will fix it and upload.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Esgici,
Thanks.
As of now, I take everything as entered in Grid and that too only string item grids.
Writing the code for others too.
By formatting you mean, formatting the numbers as given by the user as parameter for the function? Please give me syntax, so that I can proceed.
