I'd like to know how to print a form to printer without using the vb powerpack. Also, I'd like for the users of my program to be able to save a copy of the form to a jpeg file. I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition 2008.

I am using the VB.Net printing powerpack to emulate the old Printer.Print from VB6.The printed output sent to a pdf doc via cutepdfwriter looks ugly/strange.
View 14 RepliesI have form with text boxes that are collecting data from access database.Now I want to print this, but selectively.I know how to print whole form using PrintForm PowerPack. But I want to print only labels and text from text box.
View 11 RepliesThe generation of the shape is controlled at runtime by data read from a file to set all the properties I care about e.g. Size, Location, Color, BorderWidth etc. Now, I would like to render it on a form. This should be trivial, but I can't just add it as a control so something different must be done...
Dim rc As RectangleShape
rc = New RectangleShape
rc.Location = New Point(100, 100)
rc.Size = New Point(150, 150)
Do I need to create some container on the form first, am I missing one of the commands to cause it to draw and/or connect it to a specific form, something else?
I have created a form that we use for our employee goal setting. I would like to let the users print the form. The form is quite large and has scroll bars. I am trying to use the Printform to print the form. I would like to use autofit or some other type of scaling to get the form to fit on one page. I have done some looking aroung and have seen the following instrutions a couple of times.
1.Drag a PrintForm component onto the Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
2.Set the PrintForm.BodyContainer property to reference your Form
3.Drag a PrintPreviewDialog component onto your Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
4.Set the PrintPreviewDialog.Document property to reference the PrintForm component
5.Add a button and button click handler. In the handler call PrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog()
I don't know how to set the PrintForm.BodyContainer propery (number 2). I am using Visual Basic 2010 express.
I am looking for help with the DataRepeater in VB.Net PowerPack 3. This is Windows development were talking about not ASP.Net. I am able to set it up for a single dataset but I actually want to nest another DataRepeater inside of it. Anyone have experience with that? Is is possible? I've done it with ASP.Net but I realize were talking two different animals here.In my testing the top level repeater seems to populate fields but the nested repeater shows up empty. Nothing in it. My data tier is using LINQ to SQL.[URL]..

how to print the form, so the barcodes can be read by a barcode scanner?
I tried to print the form with Visual Basic PowerPacks - PrintForm (See link below). Everything was smooth until I saw the printed paper. Printing quality is very low, and the barcode can't be read with the barcode scanner.

I developed an application for a local company that required printing a chart and some data. I made the program on a Windows 7 machine using the PrintForm control. It printed just fine and I sent it to the company, but they are running it on WindowsXP and the program is crashing. I assumed that PrintForm would work on all Win operating systems but apparently that is not the case?
If there is something special that needs to be done to get PrintForm to work on XP that would be fine (downloading a lib file or something), but otherwise what is the best way to print out a VB.NET form on Windows XP?
printing a displayed form to a printer. This is my current code. (I am using the PrintForm visual basic PowerPack.)
Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
cPrintForm.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
cPrintForm.Print()
End Sub
This prints the form fine, but the problem is that the page printed is portrait, and my whole form doesn't fit on it, so I was wondering how to set it to landscape?
im searching the best way for Printing a whole form / Several Datagridviews and some Specific controll contents in my WindowsForm application.
I know the internet is full with bad and good examples. Its hard to separate the Good examples from the Bad examples.
Is there any simple way print a form with the data on it in visual basic (essentially doing a "print screen" that will automatically be sent to the default printer)? The user would jsut click a button on the screen to print the current form/data.
View 5 RepliesI have tried using the printform component to do my printing but found I couldn't fit all the information in labels in the form designer as it wouldn't increas the length of the form longer than about 812, so decided it might be better to use the standard printing tools.
My program was orignally done in vb 1.0 and I am redoing the program in visual basic express 2010.
I have looked at the msdn help and several ebooks i downloaded but most seem to assume you are either printing a text file ie something saved from a text box or an actual file.
I see they have changed completely how you do printing no longer using printer.print and treat it all like a graphic using drawing etc and screen co ordinates and I am finding it very confusing. Nothing I have read seems to cover printing information like
this where there is lines of text being generated to give the values of variables, more things like how to print a picture graphic and have a coloured background.
Basically what I want to print is a quote and cutting list for timber. All the variables are assigned values by entering info in text boxes etc.
Calculations are then done to give a final set of values that are then printed like a report or quote for the end user.
This is what was used in vb 1.0 to achieve this
Sub quoteprint()
printer.fontsize = 12
printer.Print Spc(10);
[Code].....
increase the form length in the designer so i can fit everything in in labels to use the print form component, it would be greatly appreciated.
I may be missing an obvious step but I am still new to visual basic express 2010, and the original program I did using vb 1.0 is the only visual basic programming I have done so i am still a learner.
I need to print part of a form as a report, I can print a full screen capture no problem, but does anyone know if I can print a particular section of a form such as a group box ?

I've searched and searched for an answer to my question, but as of yet, have yet to find a solution to what I'm looking for. My background - 6 months out of College (Computer Studies)
Right now I'm working on a program that is going to be used to handle database information (Access 2007). On the main form the user can select 3 pieces of required info from drop down list boxes. Those are required. Then after that they are able to enter a first name and a second name. They then add that name to a list box below. They can add as many names as they want to a list box. Then from there they have the option to either just save the info, or if required (which will more then likely be the main option) print each person in the list their own certificate. I have designed a separate form laid out the way required for the certificate.
The trouble that I'm having at this time is that I am unable to make the printing process show all of the certs that are going to print in a print preview. I have been able to get it to only show one. The form is set to load where hidden = true.
I have all my project finished and have know idea how to do this.

I have a multi-form application that closes one form, using form.close() and shows another, using form.showdialog().In one of this forms, I have a 3 tabs, and I'm looking for to printing them one by one.I can print them easily but when the print_page event ends, the form that just printed closes. It also happens when I just hit Cancel on the printdialog.

Basically I currently have the following code which enables me to print the form perfectly.
CODE:
However, with the coding above on the print preview the form screen shoot/dump isn't centred. So I was wondering what would be the way to go about doing it? This is using the printform in the power packs available btw.
Also I figured it might be using height/width/location/margins etc, but I'm not to sure how one goes about assingning values to them. Like the two above I commented don't work.
