I am rendering an SSRS datareport. I want to print it directly, without showing it on screen and without even showing the printer dialogue.I can send it to the printer without showing on screen but it displays the Print Dialog.
View 1 RepliesI am using this code to print a screen shot with the Adobe PDF printer driver.
It is all working fine except it also captures the printing dialog in the screen shot
There is a hide button on the dialog but it prints before i have the opportunity to select "Hide"
I also cannot find a property to use the hide option.[code]..
Is it possible that I could use the VB.net print dialogue tool to print a receipt from a payment? Like If I were able use a ready to print document which I will only be needing to change the amount, cash, change and name before printing. :D I dont want to use crystal reports because I know its really complicated.I am just a vb.net beginner here, learned everything I know in just 3 days. xD
View 3 RepliesHi, i have a form with size 850,900. When i print this, on the print preview the right hand side of the page is cut off. Is there a way to stretch the form so that the whole form is printed? Currently the form contains 4 datagrids, i don't know if this makes a difference, becuase if i resized these i wouldn't be able to see all of the text.
Also, on the print preview page, is there a way of displaying the print dialog box when pressing the print button, so that the local network printers can be selected?
We're using SQL Server Reporting Services embedded using the Report Viewer control on a Win32 VB.net page. Currently targeting .net 2.0, we can possibly move to 3.5 if it'll fix the issue.
When you view the report you can see the entire thing, however, when pressing print preview the last page of the report fails to be shown. The page number on the bottom of the report will say "Page 1 of 2" or Page "1 of N" but you can only actually see pages 1 through N-1.The same thing happens when you just try to print the report. But if I go to print preview, back to normal view, and print preview again I can see the entire report.
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.
Basically on my form I have a listbox containing data. Under the listbox I want to place a button named "btn_PrintData" or something to that effect. The user will click this, the print dialog box would come up and bingo they could print the contents of the listbox.

I am working on an application in VB 2008, converted from VB6, currently running in Win XP. This app processes data from several orbits of satellite telemetry and outputs to the printer a calculation result for each orbit of data. In VB 2008 there is a small dialog that pops up for each page that is printed.It is kind of annoying, continually covers up the program progress bar and, I think, generally slows things down.Is there some way to turn this off in program code when the printer is called?
View 10 RepliesThe problem is, the document is taking 2-3 seconds to process and print it. While it is printing this status box shows up and the default focus is on the cancel the button. The end-user(s) have a nagging habit of pressing enter twice, thus they end up canceling the print.
Here's the basic code I'm writing for printing the receipt.
Dim pd As New PrintDocument
AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf Me.DirectPrint
pd.DocumentName = "Printing Receipt"
pd.Print()
Here's the nagging box. [URL].
When using the PrintDocument1 control and you actually send a job to print, a dialog box comes up saying "Printing page 1 of document" with a cancel button. Is there a way to erradicate this dialog? I am writing a program where this dialog really is not needed and if anything, it just destracts the user for no reason.

In printing, I want to draw a square around the text that I am printing. I am trying to make notecards and would like to have text on one side and a word on the opposite side.

Can I use any of these controls to draw the box. What type of file(ex. doc or .pdf) do I store the file as if it has a graphic like this in it?

View 16 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.
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.
I have a class where I would like to call a print dialog sub within the class itself.In my class I have the

I copied the sub from a form class....which I believe removes the handler, so this does not work for me. How could I get this done?

I want to print bill on a roll paper using vb.net. The requirements are as follows: The width of the page is 300 pixels or 3 inches. The height of the page is variable, depending on the number of the rows in the datagrid. The page header will have an image. The names of the items could be long, so they should not be chopped, rather print on the next line.
How should I go about it?
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 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.
