changes in my crystal program




Some details on the changes, so far:

1. Sorted the list (alphabetical order by Crystal Description)
2. Added new code to display picture of the first entry. Before it comes up blank until I move the cursor of scroll bar
2. Customized the toolbars and put in some flower icons (c/o Iconbuffet icons of course)
3. Put denomination (US$) on the purchase price and current price
4. A lot of organizing with the Swarovski boxes and descriptions (whew)
5. Re-added the matching game, it was deleted so I resurrected putting in a green jigsaw as a button
6. I wanted to really organize my list and not just keep a handwritten list so I coded a print program to print each item in size 4x6 so that it would fit in a 4x6 card stock.
7. Added a print dialog so that the user (aka me) can configure what printer to use, how many copies to print, etc. etc.
8. Added an icon in my main program... a diamond, it's smashing! :)

So far, I'm satisfied with this program but I do see some other things to improve on:
1. When I print without a printer, it errors out saying the value cannot be null, lol . :)
UPDATE: I can now print it
2. I want to publish this program successfully, not having any success yet
3. I want to create reports in the future
UPDATE: I have reports (in form of picture summary) and can print on multiple pages (8/16/08)
