Hi ther
I have created a display page in my application which contains bitmaps and various other GUI controls. I intend to print this form thru IR or network printer. Is there a way to print the form itself or save the form image as a bmp/jpg file?

Thanks
 
Thanks guys for the suggestions
I tried the hpdevelopersolutions. They have provided libraries for printing an existing file on PDA in basic formats(jpg, txt, bmp etc). However my requirement is to develop a print screen option to save the current application form display as a jpg or bmp file for printing by one of the hpsolutions

Alex I am unable to access the Printing chapter from the online book on Paul Yao's site, I am not sure if they have discontinuted it for the time being or I need to be registered on the site. The site to be unavailable for registration

Thanks Alex I finally got hold of the online version of Printing Chap. Looks like fieldsoftware should be able to provide a good solution for my problem also suggested by hAK. From the earlier posts on the newsgroup, I had visited the website earlier but didnt go ahead with their SDK due to their 60 day trial policy, which in our case might turn out to be an expensive option

I was looking for alternate solution. capture the app form display using printscreen software keystroke and save it as a file andthen use Hp SDk for printing it out. The KeyCode enumeration has a mapping for Printscreen (value = 44) for Pocket PC keyboard keys. Is there a way to programatically invoke the keystroke. Secondly I am not sure how the Printscreen keystroke is actually use. Does it create a file of the screenshot or do we have to provide a handler to create the file
