View 3 RepliesI have printer vendor provided SDK implementing that i can get printer DEVMODE or HDC with correct printer settings.
My questions is:
I am already using printDocument to print the image (System.Drawing.Bitmap). How can send use this HDC or DEVMOD with printDocument.
I already tried using the "PrintDocument.SetDevMode". it seems not be working.
1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages that it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, instead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.
I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which doesn't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating
I am trying to develop a program that will open, print and then close the selected files from the listview.The file could be of any type, but I am particularly interested in autocad drawing files - .dwg format. The printing needs to be done at the printer. There is a multibox which allows the user to select the printer .
Currently, I can open the files and select the printer but I am really getting stuck at printing.
there is a possibility to send Files to a printer which is connected to a virtual LPTx, e.g. "copy filename lpt1". Is it possible to make this WITHOUT a LPTx? A solution in vbScript would be great, but VB is also OK.

View 2 RepliesI need to be able to send a PostScript file to a printer specified by the user. I am using a print dialog box to get the printer the user selects but now I need a way to send a PostScript file to that printer. I am able to send a PostScript file to a printer right now, but it only sends the file to the printer that was last selected. I am using Ghostview to view the PS file and to print it. This is why the file prints to the last printer selected.

I need to create a driver that can be installed as a printer and instead of printing to a physical printer it needs to print to a text file. I have no idea how to do this. I have searched for an answer on these forums but so far I haven't had much luck. I know it isn't easy to create a driver in VB but I don't know if this is technically a "driver" since it isn't interfacing with actual hardware.
View 6 Replieson my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I am using filesystemwatcher and im watching printer spool activities:

copyfile????
End Sub
But, while printers status is spooling the files and size also changing, how can I copy file bytes by bytes?
Something like this:
Dim a As ByteDim b As ArrayList
Private Sub fsw_Changed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles fsw.Changed
'+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
get all new bytes and added to arraylist
After the arraylist gathered all bytes, I want to copy back to its original state of files to other location....

View 1 RepliesProgram conversion VB6 to VB2008 I have software which uses an ini file (this is necessary as sometimes the ini file needs editing). Normally you place the ini file with the exe.
How do I refer to the ini files location in VB2008 The readini has lines similar to this at the moment where I have set up the test ini file on the root of D:.
LOGOutput = ReadIni("D:MyProgram.ini", "Settings", "LOGOutput")
I'm assuming there is going to be a simple line which says
My.application.location.programname & ".ini") But I can't find it.So question is, How do I read and refer to my ini file which is located with my exe?
