Brian,
The Express Viewer looks great!
I would like to move my VB application from Whip! to Express when the API
has been further developed.
Here are a few things I would like to see added to the Express View API.
1. Bypass the Express print dialog box and control the print settings via
the API. This would allow batch printing of dwf files.
2. Add a watermark or text to the print. Currently I use the merge dwf
feature of the Whip! API.
3. Disable the right-click menu.
