Printing A Form On Windows XP?
Jun 24, 2010
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?

I have a windows application that I have created using Visual Basic 2005. I am a new user and have learned a few things, but quite an amateur! I need to printout a windows form but I do not want the form to have menu bars or borders printed. The windows form contains the data that I have updated using a Sequel Server 2005 DataBase. The form needs to be printed by clicking a Print Form Button on the form.Is this possible with VB 2005. i noticed a PowerPacks out there, but when I downloaded the tab does not appear on the VB 2005 Express Edition I am using.

so i have this program which prints out information inside a bunch of textboxes which i got to work out pretty nicely. it was brought to my attention one day that there was a user that could not print. they would hit the print button and nothing would come up, nothing. no print window or anything. i click it on my end and it works just fine. i try it on my laptops and i get nothing. come to find out that my windows is 32 bit on my desktop, whereas the versions that wont print are 64 bit windows.

Any VB example of batch printing pdf files from a dos/windows subdirectory (with only Acrobat Reader installed)? I've got a folder full of pdf's (30 or 40) and I need to fire them off to the networked Laserjet. Also, is there a way in VB, to set the "full duplex" (double-sided) printing option for an HP Laserjet (PCL6)?

I develop a project in VB 2010 Express and my project includes two related DataGridViews . One of the DGV has a unique ID for every row. The DGV shows that ID as a Barcode. To see how to format a DGV column to show a Barcode follow the link below:
Format DataGridView to show Barcode - Code39
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.
Print a Form using PrintForm component
I tried diffrent ways to print that form with no succes. What do you suggest I should try?
(As i said, I have 2 datagridviews and 4 buttons (one for filtering called "TestOrder", one for Printing called "btnPrint", one for print preview called "btnPrintPreview", and one for page setup called "btnPageSetup").

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?

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.

I 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 was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.I want to be able to have the user type information into specific fields on the form and when they select print, it auto generates a pre made form and just fills in the areas that they type in.
If I have a form that has these fields:
Name:______
Address:______

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 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.

What i am trying to do is setup the print and Print Preview - so i can preview and print the contents of richtextbox on a child form.
i have placed - Setup Dialog (mySetupdlg)
PrintDocument (myPrintDoc)
PrintPreview Dialog (myPrintPreDlg)
Print Dialog (PrintDialog1)
on to the child form and am putting the code for the above controls in the Child.vb - the buttons to use the above controls are on a menuStrip and the toolStrip - which merge witht the MDI parent menuStrip and toolStrip. The code below is what i have done so far
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Imports system.io
Public Class NoterChild
[Code]....
when i run the the program with the above code - any text thats been altered ie- had it font change or it font colour - just shows up in the print preview as the default style,color size .
i thinki am missing the obvious here but may due to getting fustrated with it not working the way i want it to -

I have a scheduler with multiple views. 1 day, 3 days, 5 days and 7 days.I have figured out how to scale each view and it prints correctly. What I am having problems with is how to allow the user to print these different views from one screen. I have a dropdown box with 1 day, 3, day, 5 day and 7 day. On the scheduler I have put the same procedure as Print and Print2 with just minor differences for the scaling for each view. Print Document1 and PrintDocument2 are on the second form. For some reason, no matter how I call the print document2 I end up with Printdocument1. I have checked it over and over but am getting no where. Would there be any reason I can't use multiple printdocuments on one form for printing different procedures?
