Printing and Exporting Improvements in v6.2

   In version 6.2 we have extended and improved the exporting and printing capabilities of the XtraGrid, XtraTreeList and XtraLayoutControl. Now the XtraGrid and XtraTreeList controls can be exported to various formats, including RTF and MHT. Additionally, the XtraLayoutControl provides full printing and export support. 
   Table 1 and Table 2 below contrast the printing and export features supported in v6.1 and v6.2 respectively.

In v6.1 the XtraTreeListControl and XtraGridControl exported their cell values to PDF files as graphics, so it was impossible to select text or perform a text search in PDF viewers. In addition, the XtraGridControl didn't export images in XLS format. In version 6.2 we've removed these limitations.
The XtraLayoutControl v6.2 can now be printed and exported to various formats using the XtraPrinting Library. This enables you to use the XtraLayoutControl to:
- create forms that look like printed forms, edit and print them;
- create multiplatform (win + web) applications using HTML export;
- integrate your solution with MS Office using RTF and XLS exports.

These enhancements are going to be excellent!!!  So when are we going to finally see this v6.2.  I've been holding my breath for about two weeks now and don't know how much longer I can last.

Now we are at the final testing stage. V6.2 RC is currently available only for Enterprise Subscribers. I believe it will be available for everyone in two weeks.
