I need your help in printing multiple window forms in a project. I have about 8 different forms in the project. I can print individual form using PrintForm. What I need is a function that I can call to print all or anyone form I chose.

I have an MDI window with multiple child forms. The user can hide or display child windows by checking/unchecking in a View menu on the main form, calling on either the Show or Hide methods for that form. Each time I call the show method do I also have to specify myForm.MdiParent = Me, or do I only have to specify that once, ie does vb remember that the form will always be a child? it doesnt appear to be a form property any more (from vb6).Second question relates to forms themselves. If I have created a form at design time, is it more efficient to create an instance of that form using New, or simply show the form as it is by just loading it.What are the pros or cons, memory and speed wise? In my case I will never need more than one copy of that form to appear, I'm using VB2005.

View 1 RepliesI have to make some automatization on a web server, I use Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic Windows Console Application. I want to make a load/performance test of the web server, so I open several Internet Explorer instances, and I login the application, that is not a problem. But after that I have a mess on the page and I cannot make any more automatization...The composition of the page after the login is like this: I have the default form, another form and a multiple data window(mdw) controller, which dinamically can switches the forms on this part.
The problem is that I don't know how to access the controls of this mdw forms. I couldn't find much about this mdw controller and I am not an expert.
My code is here:

mPage = 0

I have been researching for 2 weeks on how to do this, but no luck. My code opens an IE window and enters information in a website which causes a popup window to open. I need to save/print this popup window as a pdf and be able to code the filepath. I really need it to print silently without user input because of the volume I need. I assure you this is not for anything malicious, I am actually using it to make sure the firm I work for does not open a suit on any person in active military.
I use the following code to select the popup window as it is the 2nd open window

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 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?
View 2 RepliesI 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.

Private Sub PrintDocument3_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument3.PrintPage

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.

I'm having trouble many PDF files in the order that I send the print command using the following [Code]
It prints just fine other than it not being in the correct order. The only way I managed to get it in the correct order is by adding a timer and checking to see if there are any jobs in the print queue, which really slows down the printing process, especially when creating 500+ print jobs.
I was wondering if there is a better way to print these files, to where it will print fast and still be in order. A couple things I have in mind, but not sure if possible, is to create a text file or XML file that has the list of files to print and the quantity and queue the printer off that list or to convert PDF files to XPS documents and then using PrintQueue class to add the XPS file as a print job.

There is a way for printing multiple Word document at once via VB.NET code?
View 12 RepliesI want to be able to send an array of mixed documents to the printer. One document may be a word file, another a tiff file and another a jpeg.At the moment the only way I can do it is to open a seperate print preview for each document which is not good from the users point of view.

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 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 wrote a program to print deposit tickets using pre-printed deposit forms.The forms are the ones used by Peachtree Accounting.I have used this program with three different printers.All three printers are HP.Now I am using the program but the printer is a Lexmark and the print no longer lines up with the form.The print is now about 3/16" below the place where it was printing.I can change the program to reduce the starting place of the print but if another printer is used the print will be off again.If the HP printer is used then the print will be too high.How can I take this in account for each printer that may be used?

View 12 RepliesVB.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!
