I am migrating over to VB2008 and I get it except for printing. I can print but I have lost a lot of the methods to print dynamically and I need to know the secret not to pull my hair out doing this. These are the circumstances I need to fill:1. Multiple Document Interface (Parent Document) holding multiple forms.2. Each will print from their own form page but this is the scenario I am trying to accomplish which I did rather well in VB6:Dynamic page length. As it runs through the data and deciding what needs to be printed. All print statements are mapped. currenty =y currentx = x.
a. Calls private sub HEADER to print header (eg store name address) resets currenty= 0
b. Calls private sub BODY based on selections answered. Not answered then omitted.if currenty > 9 inches and you are not done then call private sub TRAIL then HEADER and continue in the BODY recheck for currenty >9 inches and not done printing
c. Calls TRAIL to finish off.
Now I have been able to do all this using the Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 statement but that is using the old methods and may or may not be usable in 64 bit mode processing.When I use the printdocument.print() method , everything must be handled inside of the printdocument events. Going out of the routine to call another section causes the document to end and start a new page. Since gosub routines are not allowed, it is almost impossible to jump around to make this run properly. Am I missing something???? Can I form the document in different subroutines and pass a completed page to the printer with graphics??
I can do this by constructing the document in a picture box sending all the print commands go to an image the old VB had a more stable image container that did not disappear if minimized or another window openened over it by auto-redraw. I thought about saving it as a .jpg and them printing but that is still just crazy. There has to be a simple way of constructing multiple pages that I am just missing.
I am using a print preview dialog in my program (visual basic .net) and when there are multiple pages and you press the print button it only prints one page. How can I get
it to print all pages when you press the print button?

View 20 RepliesI have a small program written in VB10 that allows me to enter checks and then print a deposit slip. The maximum number of checks per printed page is 32 so if I enter more than 32 two pages will print. I send the output to print preview and then,
if everything looks OK, I will print from there. If there are two pages to print all the pages show up in print preview. However when I print, only the last page prints. I am printing two copies so I have one for the deposit and one for my records. One page prints fine: I get two copies of the page. If I have two pages to print then I get two copies of page two.
I am writing a program to reprint documents. I.e invoices etc. They are to be printed via their path name which is all populated into a datagrid, i have managed to get the print dialog to show however when the document is printed it comes out blank??

I want to print multiple pages with vb.net So I have al my data in 2 lists, containing objects ( let's call them list1 and list2). e.g I have in list1 all the kind of cars and in list2 all the available types of those cars. So he first loops through list1 and then looks in list2 which types are linked to the kind. The amount of types per kind of car is unknown. Now I want to print the whole list. He first puts the kind of car. Then I have to write every type of car vertically under each other... So I need to construct a function that checks whether I'm at the end of my page to hit a hasMorePages = true .
I was already wondering if I can print it first all on a image and then I take blocks of that image and put them on different pages.
i have this code
Private Sub GetPrintFunction(ByVal printopt As Array)
Dim Print_Document As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
AddHandler Print_Document.PrintPage, AddressOf PrintPage
[code]....
The web service returns 6 items per array. If the array return 2 sets of array (12 items), then i have to split it into 2 pages. how can i do it?
Example scenario:The web service should return at least 6 items(1 array)
example data
*redemption date
*reference number
[code]....
if i have two sets of these, then it should be printed on different pages.
I have been trying to print multiple pages from a listbox. This is the code I have been trying to get to work. It prints the entire contents of listbox6, which is good but it only prints on one page and the text overlaps once it starts to print from the top of the page again.
Code:
Private Sub PrintDocument3_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument3.PrintPage
Dim lpp As Integer
Dim lno As Integer
[code]....
All I need to do is print the entire contents of listbox6 whether it has 1 page of data or 19 pages of data.
When trying to print it only prints the first page.

how to get 1 string to print but now i run into another dilemma. I have 3 strings, each string is just under a page long and i need the 3 strings printed at the same time (one button).

I'm trying to print 2 pages of business cards with different images on each card. When I use the code below it overprints both pages on top of each other.
Private Sub PrintDocument1_BeginPrint(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.BeginPrint
mPage = 0
End Sub
Problem: code prints different (in fact, a random number, less than or equal to number of pages needed) number of pages and thus lines overlapping. And I can't find out what is causing it. Working in Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, WinXP, Visual Basic. Code is in a class, loaded form the MainScreen form, which' instance is passed through.

Tried to avoid using 'AddHandler' by using 'PrintDocument1_Printpage [..] handles PrintDocument.PrintPage but kept getting this error saying I needed to do something with Friends WithEvent handling. Can't figure it out :-(Update: noticed the following behaviour: when the command 'print' is given the first time, everything works out fine. The next time, the page sub is executed twice as many times as there are pages, and the third time three times as many, and so on. So first time printing works fine, second is screwed, and so on.
I have a very complex multi-page form I am developing in the Crystal Reports which is included in VS2008. There is always 1 Page A. There may be 1 or more page B. There may be 1 or more Page C. Page A has 7 subreports and a header from the main table. Pages B and C hold overflow records that won't fit on Page A.
Page(s) B holds 1 subreport and a header from the main table. Page(s) C holds 3 subreports and a header from the main table.
My problem is the page header on pages B and C does not print except on the first page B or C and I need it to print at the top of each one. (There could be many) Pages B and C are currently subreports but evidently that doesn't work. I have to format the report this way, it's a gov't form. Does anyone know how to get a subreport (which is actually a working report) and which can grow past a single page, to display a page header at the top of each new page?
VB.net printing of multiple pages is simple enough utilising the Printdocument. Previewing the pages via the PrintPreviewDialog control is also simple enough.BUT Whereas the doc.print() will cause all pages to be printed stat - the Print button on the PrintPreviewDialog control calls the printPage handler one more time before printing.As all pages have been laid into the document this extra call to the printPage causes only a blank page to be printed. defeat the PrintPreviewDialog call to the handler? - Other than building, previewing and printing each page as a separate job!

View 4 RepliesI have a data-driven many-page print system that works well, each page containing logically what's next following the preceding page. To output a sub-set of pages, how can I avoid outputting pages before the first one that I actually want to send to the printer? To pick and assemble the data correctly my PrintDocument1 process has to run until I reach the 1st page to print, so it would be neat at the end of each unwanted page to 'waste' them - then from the 1st wanted page the usual e.HasMorePages will do the job.
I thought maybe PrintDocument1.Dispose() or PrintDocument1=Nothing might void the early pages I don't want (then looping back internally to construct the next page), but no. Is there another way to 'ditch' pages until the required one is reached? Or do I have to avoid using every e.Graphics.DrawString) statement until I get to the right start point? That would of course do the job, but is pretty clumsy
I have a routine, with the printDoc_PrintPage() function where i loop my pages and print them on the default printer.
What i need to do is print page 1 on a special printer and the other pages on the default printer.

I want to print contents of a ListView, currently I can print on one page only so my question is how do I improve my code to print on multiple pages. I've read little about the HasMorePages property but no idea how to use it in this context. Heres my code:I have a PrintPreviewDialog and Print Document to assist in printing [code] I understand most part of this code but not all so its kinda hard to follow the program flow to make any big changes myself so if possible can someone please comment the code a bit? how printing works in .NET because I only understand parts of it so having trouble joining the pieces together if that makes sense?

I have the following:
1) 1,000 multi-paged PDF files (say 00000001.pdf, 00000002.pdf, ..., 00160000.pdf)
2) A list of pages for each document to print
I have a question regarding multiple page printing. I know that it has to do with e.HasMorePages. I know that there has to be a condition that sets that flag to true and back to false or you get caught in a never ending print page loop. However, I have no idea where in my simple little print block here to implement that. As you can see I'm just printing a readline. Sometimes the file extends past a single page though depending on circumstances.

I have 2 master pages with same (href) links on top of the page. Now these links load on the same master page when clicked on (by requirement). The problem is both these master pages have same links, so basically the same page shall be loaded in the master page.
Now what i need is when the person is on Master Page 1 and clicks on the link it should load in the same page. Whereas if the user is on Master Page 2 and clicks on the same link, i should be able to change the master page from 1 to 2 and load that in Master Page 2.
