I can print and almost everything works. Basically I used KB 811401 to create a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl.dll and add it to my tool box. I have a Page Setup and a Page Print. I call Setup and change the margins. Then I call print. But I always get default margins. The margin settings I put in the Page Setup don't "take".
Here is my relavant application code.
Private
Sub btnPageSetup_Click(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
As System.EventArgs)

I've built an app, that draws text to four rectangles on a pre-printed page with a design, I'm wondering what the margin refers to?
Also our printer doesn't print all the way to the edge, there's a white border, about the height of this little guy:If I printed from a printer that prints to the edge, will the text be in the same position as it would be if it was printed with the border around it, the text should be in the exact same position right?
I am practicing on how to print from vb.net (2008) i was able to print my text, however I am having hard time changing default page settings.When the script loads up it thinks my default printer is my 8x11 printer and adjusts the label for that. however I am using a small label printer and labels are very small like 1x2inch. After I hit print button I can get the printer dialog box up change the prinet however because margins are wrong, my print out is unaligned. I like to change my default printer at form load step.
I get the error mentioned when printing to a network printer.The error does not occur when run under XP/Win2003, in a WinForm app or when a local printer is used.The error does only occur when run as a Windows Service under Vista/Win7/Win2008 and printing to a network printer.The Windows service runs under a network user that has access to the network printer. Before I print I check if the printername (including network path) is ok by looping through the available printers.
So, I'm adding a label programatically and I'm in need of altering the top margin a little bit to the value 8. I can't do that the obvious way, so what's wrong with my thinking?
Dim LabelAdapter As New Label LabelAdapter.text = "Adapter" LabelAdapter.Margin.Top = 8
This gives me the error "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment".
I'm using a sunken label style and back color with a statusbar, no matter what settings I change, like hiding the grip and setting the grip margin to all 0, there's still a section on the right that won't go away. I want my status label to stretch all the way across the statusbar, is this possible?
1. How to get 0 padding/inner margin in the cells? I want just the border as a colored line at the next close pixel to the control in the cell. Or if border set to none, I want the controls with no gap.
2. How do I actually add/remove rows& columns? I thought this was by setting the .ColumnCount property, but if I set it to 3, and then try to access the third column, it gives exception, so it's obviously just two columns, although it also looks like 3 on the form. ? I created it in designer with 2 columns though. But I don't understand how this hangs together..
Dim z0, z1, z2 As New ZedGraphControl z0.Dock = DockStyle.Fill z1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
I am trying to display a small icon in a combobox so I want to use EM_SETMARGINS to set a margin in it. I am using this
Private Sub SetLeftMargin(ByVal lhWnd As IntPtr, ByVal lMargin As Int32) Dim lLongValue As Int32 Dim Result As Int32 Result = SendMessageLong(lhWnd, EM_SETMARGINS, EC_LEFTMARGIN, lMargin) End Sub
It works OK with a ritchtextbox but not with the combobox text field.
I've used the following code, taken from here, to create my own custom column for datagridview, so that I can now have images and text in the same cell:
[Code]...
It works very well, except that the image that I use is right at the edges of the cell. I'd like to give it a small margin. How can I do this?
I'm using VB2008 Express. And I've been working on a "popup" to select a date range. The DateTimePicker isn't ideal because the purpose is to pick a date range, which will always be one full week, from Sunday through Saturday. The control works just fine and I'm pretty proud of it. My problem has to do with the border added when using ToolstripControlHost for this. I've included a screenshot and my code.
In the code below, assume there exists a button named "btnTimePeriod", below which I desire to show a panel, which contains a few custom items, and the panel's name is "pnlDateRangePicker".IT WORKS... but it doesn't look right. The panel itself is 147 x 326 pixels, but notice in the attached graphic that it's adding a border around the panel which I don't want. There's a border on the top, bottom, and left... but for some reason the border on the right one is especially large. Although my code doesn't expressly set it, AutoSize = true so I would have expected it to shrink around the panel.
As required, my code already does set ShowCheckMargin and ShowImageMargin false. I haven't included the code for the DrawDateCalander Sub because it's not relevant. I believe even a blank panel would yield the same result. I have no idea where this margin is coming from.
Private Sub btnTimePeriod_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTimePeriod.Click Call DrawDateCalendar(DatePart(DateInterval.Month, FirstDisplayedSunday), DatePart(DateInterval.Year, FirstDisplayedSunday)) Call ShowControlBelow(btnTimePeriod, pnlDateRangePicker) End Sub
Today I went to the user's site for a demo. The program works fine on my HP LaserJet 1018. Data is entered into a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl and then printed on one of four labels as selected by the user at print time. For the top left (landscape) label, I set margins (50, 570, 60, 460) on the DefaultPageSettings and it correctly prints a label starting 0.5" from the left and 0.6" from the top.
On the HP OfficeJet Pro K550, the label size, left to right and top to bottom, is correct but the top mrgin is about 0.75" and the left margin is 1.0". So the label looks correct but shifted right and down so of course it does not print ont he label. I used MS Word 2003 and printed a document with 0.5" margins all the way around and it worked.I found an options in the printer's advanced properties to "minimize margins" and another to "emulate laser printer margins" but neither had any effect on my output.
It seems when I change some code while working with practice files I get green veritcal lines in the left margin of the code page I am writing. What does it mean?
I have created a vb.net program to write into msword file.I have used xslt for that.Now i have a problem of margin setting in the word file.what is the code to be inserted in xslt to set the margin of msword file.[code]
I came across a post a while back which showed a custom rich textbox control which had line numbers in its margin. Similar to what you woudl see if you we coding in the VB designer and you had your line numbers viewable.
I think it was two controls in one (i.e. two textboxes: one for the numbers, and the other for the text). However I cannot remember where I saw it.
I need stop printing and paper feeding in the middle of printing in dot matrix printer.(Like a POS Printer - When wrote 'End Doc' on POS printer can stop paper feeding)
I am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
I basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
I'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
I am setting up printing (to a printer or file) in my application, and it doesn't seem to print out any new lines that I specify. Here's some of my printing
' Loop through all of the text in the array For i = 0 To 9 If i Mod 2 = 0 Then

When I print the output to a PDF file using PDFCreator, it stacks all of the letters onto each other rather than creating new lines at the places I've specified. I've also tried using vbNewLine instead of vbCrLf, but I haven't had any luck. I searched the web for this but couldn't find anything about it.
The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.
I have the following structure:OLD: frmMain (WinForm)uscStat (UserControl with Grid) In frmMain I'm able to make some settings and load the result of the settings via LinQ into the Grid of the uscStat.
I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.
I am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
Is there a way to maintain application modified Settings in the settings files after a program update? i.e. I have 10 or so values in the settings file and the users can modify them... when I send a program update they revert back to what I initially programmed them to be.
i have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.
1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...
2. I'm not actually saving them when I think I am.
Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?
