How to print a TIWMemo - denville - 01-03-2021
IW 15-0-22 C++ Builder XE7
Please, how might a Web client print the contents of a TIWMemo ?
Found one similar question on Google but the link is broken.
Thanks.

Generally any time you want to offer a print option to a user when there are inputs it is advisable to offer the user a "print view" using a separate page which is formatted for printing. You can do this using only IW controls (suggest a template as well for better layout), or if its complex a reporting tool to generate the output.
Printing with input fields is up to the browser and typically will look more like a screen shot than something intended for printing.

There is no input, just need a printed copy of the read-only text in the memo (TIWMemo). Sorry I didn't think to make that clear. I don't see a control to help with this ?

You can use a new page with a TIWLabel and just put the contents from the memo in there. That will make it easier for the user to print properly. A template will simplify the layout as well.
