      Hi Ivan,
      a great project and an excellent work, even the text diagonally .... I thought that it was enough to turn the paper by 45° into the printer...... 😉
      Cheers,

      I can't download it from the Code Exchange and decided to checkout it via SVN but failed because of no LOGGON ID and PWD.

      You may want to check out SAPMiniApps, you can sell some of the code you create on the site. You can even host your project their and have control over who has access.

      Code exchange is no longer available, it has been dismissed by SAP more than an year ago.
