Print to file and checkboxes

edited November 2009 in General
When you go to edit a report, then go to print to file setup, checkboxes
are not showing up in the dialog. How can I get them to show up?

    Hi Jeff,

    The TextFileDevice only supports text objects such as TppLabels, TppMemos,
    and TppDBTexts. If you would like to add the text from a checkbox to the
    delimited text file, it would be possible to create an caption-less checkbox
    with a TppLable next to it, then export the label.

    Otherwise you would need to create your own replacement PrintToFile dilaog
    and TppTextFileDevice. These would be very similar to the existing dialog
    and device only altered to allow the addition of checkboxes to the export
    list for the dialog and the extraction and export of the text only of a
    checkbox draw command.
