I have a simple Intouch 9.5 application where all I need to do is, at the start of a product run open a text file, then every hour log 32 data analog points converted to string, then after a typical 10 - 12 hour run print the text file to a laser printer, close the file and repeat for the product run.
Has anyone done this without having to use any MicroSoft office products?
I see that Intouch has the StartApp function that can launch WordPad.exe or NotePad.exe. The SendKeys function could send the data, but using a SendKey of (Ctrl)(P) would cause the Windows printer selection dialog to pop up, so this is not good for an automatic print job.
