During my project, I made HTML table generator. Currently, I developed only 2 HTML
subset classes, Button & Table what I need at my report report form.
HTML Table Generator class can be used in various way. In case of me, I make this class
for simulation result form. If I make result form table with grid or other way, I have to
worry about print, separate page, view class, scroll etc.. Theses burden make me decide to
make HTML table generator which can solve all problems and my program users like this HTML
result form. 🙂

How can I use this HTML Table Generator?

1. Include HtmlFile.h, HtmlFile.cpp, HtmlTable.h, HtmlTable.cpp to your project.
Make Style directory and Put HtmlFile.dat file at Style directory.

2. Define CHtmlFile variable and create HTML file with CreateHtmlFile()

	CHtmlFile m_HtmlFile;
	CHtmlTable *pButton, *pTable;

	// Create Html File
	m_HtmlFile.CreateHtmlFile(_T(result\\result.htm), _T(Simulation Result));

3. Add Button or Table to HtmlFile

In case of Button, I didn’t make text file but do all job at source
code.

	pButton = new CHtmlTable();
	pButton->m_iTableType = HTML_TABLE_BITMAP;
	pButton->m_iColumn = 2;
	pButton->m_iRow = 1;
	pButton->m_iFixedRow = 0;
	pButton->m_iFixedColumn = 0;
	pButton->m_iWidth = 50;

	// Write Header Data

	pButton->m_sAddressArray.Add(_T(http://www.rist.re.kr/eng));

	pButton->m_sAddressArray.Add(_T(https://www.codeguru.com));

	// Write Table Data
	pButton->m_sDataArray.Add(_T(image\\rist.gif));
	pButton->m_sDataArray.Add(_T(image\\codeguru.gif));

	pButton->MakeHtmlTable();
	m_HtmlFile.AddTable(pButton);
	delete pButton;

In case of data Table, You can use text file in a data table format.

This means your program have to write data file in data table format

	pTable = new CHtmlTable();
	pTable->ReadDataFile(_T("slab.txt"));
	m_HtmlFile.AddTable(pTable);
	delete pTable;

4. Write HTML File

	m_HtmlFile.WriteHtmlFile();

Style File Format

Htmlfile.dat file has my favorite HTML file and HTML table style. I’m sorry about Style
file is not in easy format but It isn’t difficult so much.

HtmlFile.dat has 1 HTML body and several Table body. You can change all HTML code as
you like but leave strings in a ^text^ format unchanged!! A string within ^ bracket is
keyword used by CHtmlFile or CHtmlTable.
