Printing Widget Data

Ronde_las_Alas — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:24:07 GMT

What is the best approach for printing data contained inside a widget? I am looking at the print widget, but I am under the impression it only prints maps and map data.

Thanks,
Ron

Data inside a widget? Like search results in a table or what? Can you provide a use case?

Yes. That is exactly what I am doing. I am currently testing out Flex's PrintDataGrid component, and it seems to be doing the trick. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hy,
if you want to print out a widget content, you should take a look at this method:
ImageSnapshot.captureImage(...
