I am try to control which tray to print to from a VB form. (VS2008)The target printer is HP laserjet 4200 with a 4 tray TowerTray added. The test is below just cycles through the 16 options, but they all go the botton tray on the printer. The default tray is the top tray on the printer.Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.WordImports System.Drawing.Printing
Public Class PrintTest1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click testprint() End Sub
Private Sub testprint() Dim oWord As Word.Application Dim oDoc As Word.Document = Nothing

How do you go about coding pagesetup, print and preview in MDI text editor so that it works (VisualBasic 2008)
View 7 RepliesAs part of this project I'm doing for VB class I'm required to print out an image of the form. Anyways, the form is exactly 1024 x 780 so I have it set to landscape to fit better, but it still hangs off by an inch or so on the top and left margins. Here where I got the code from [URL]. I tried going under .DefaultPrintSettings and using Offset and Margins but changing them did nothing. I should also add that I know my printer can't print on every part of a page and that some of the image will be cut off, but I have been able to print within 1/2 inch of the edge of the paper before and when I print the form image it cuts it of at like 1 1/2 inches.
View 6 RepliesI set my print margins for my report to all be 0.3in.Top, Left and right would print 0.3, but the bottom part of my report would cut off and print on the second page. It cuts at a muck bigger margin, about 1inch(which is the default margin on a report).

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to programatically set the page orientation for an Excel worksheet to Landscape.I thought this would be easy... Everything I try gives me errors. I want something like this:
xlWorkSheet.PageSetup.Orientation = xlWorkSheet.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape
On this one, I get 'Public member XLPageOrientation on type Worksheet not found' and similar errors on other things I've tried...I got it! I was close :) xlWorkSheet.PageSetup.Orientation = XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape
I've automated quite a bit with excel and every so often one of these really annoying glitches pops up.I'm using Office 2003, all with latest service packs and everything, and basically I usually end up creating a lot of applications which automate excel, processing database information and exporting it etc, etc, etc.
I currently have finalized this most recent export process, which exports a moderately sized table into excel for the user to work with, but I wanted to adjust the printing area appropriately.SO, I set the PrintArea to the A1:K47 string, I set the FittoPagesTall/Wide to 1 and the Orientation to Landscape, and all of this is perfectly functional from my 2008 .Net 3.5 application. But in the open application window of the file i'm automatically creating, the page divider lines still show 4 pages of data. Now, I said to myself, i know that in the Page Setup Dialog I can set "Fit to Page" and it automatically adjusts the zoom factor (scaling) to fit the print area onto 1x1 pages.
The only property in the WorkSheet.PageSetup that appears to do this is the ChartSize property, but when I step over that line in the Application I'm debugging, I get the Exception:"Unable to set the ChartSize property of the PageSetup class"Now the only thing i've seen online about this error from Microsoft says it could occur when a printer isn't installed. That is not the case here.
I further looked up in the property and it said something about only being applied to "Chart Sheets" but when I try to use the workbook.worksheets.add() method witht the Type set to xlChart I get a com object disconnected from RCW error.NOw, I can manually go into the Page Setup Properties for the Excel Worksheet, and set the "FIt to Page" there, so How can I forcibly automate this exact same process without having to open the Excel APplicaiton.
I am creating a label program and I would like to set the margins of the page for each of the labels. There are 20 labels per 8 1/2" x 11" page at 1 14/16" H x 1 11/16" per label. I would like to know how to set the margins for each label on the sheet. Is there a chart that shows the X and Y coordinates of the page or is there a mathematical equation? Each label would have to be different is there similar code out there that I could get some Ideas?

View 2 RepliesI have some forms that were VS2005 forms the I moved to VS2010. The forms have a tab control and on the tabcontrol are some panel containers. If I add a multi-line textbox toa panel I'm seeing the text offset from the left margin. If I make a form from scratch the margin does not appear.Any idea where this left margin is coming from?Is there a way to set the left internal margin in code?

View 2 RepliesI use Report Viewer to create a report with display records from a database. I have a lot of data to display for each line, but the margin settings are limiting me. If I go to the Page Setup tab in Report viewer(Run time), I can set the margins to 1 (left and right) , and it displays my full line nicely. How can I programatically set the margins to 1 during loading of the form?

I searched many pages but unfortunately found nothing. In fact the problem is Printable Area. Microsoft says: The printable area of a page varies from printer to printer and is not guaranteed to be symmetrical.
Does anybody have any code VB which will print a 1cm x 1cm box on a page which is located 1cm from the top and left edages of the paper for any printer?
I think the answer to the question depends on finding hard margins of the printer.
I am printing a receipt with the following code:
Dim printFont As New System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 10, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)
e.Graphics.DrawString(sPrintText, printFont, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 6)

I want to utilize the maximum paper area (A4 size sheet). Therefore I must get the minimum margins that specific printer can handle. I have more printers attached to th pc, so I can not hardcode these values. I have tried to set margins to zero, but that results in printing outside the page at right side and bottom:
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 0
So my question is: is it possible to read the selected printers minimum margins without have to open a PageSetupDialog, and therefore make it possible to utilize maximum printing area with code only?
I want to set different margins in richtext box in vb express 2008
what I want to do is like this need to set left margin of 2.7" and right margin of 2.4" and one blank lines precede after that. and left margin 1.0" from the left edge of the page and the right margin is at 7.4" from the left edge of the page.
I would like the size of a label to be identical to the space used by the text inside. The height and width of a label does indeed change depending on its content (text property and its font), but there is a wide margin that I would like to remove.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to print a full page of lines, labels, and variables to match a physical form that I have. When I go to print the form, everything is moved down and to the right. I have tried to set the margins to 0 and have also tried OrginsAtMargins but neither have corrected the problem. So basically, I am trying to get the margins to be set at 0 so I can use the whole 8.5x11 (minus a little on the sides; about .25 of a inch) to print. What is weird is the print preview is fine but when it prints it's down and the right. So getting it so it prints how it does in print preview would be great. [URL].
View 1 RepliesIn onw of our application, we have some reports that need very specific margins that are dependant of the printer the user have. It is used to print into preformated paper with blanks to fill and depending of the printer, the printing is off by some margins. To make things worse, we don't actually control what printer is used because it is not an internal application.
The only solution I could think of is to let the user configure the margins somehow. I though I could just dinamycally change the report margins like I did with datasources and actual report ( I have one control that is used to display every reports from my application and it works alright), but I can't seem to find that damn property to do so. There is a margin property on the report viewer but it's for the form display so it doesn't cut it.What I was thinking to do is to define the margins before the user loads the report, i.e. when he clicks on the report button, I load the report, set the margins (or vice-versa is necessary) and then display it.
Before someone mention it, I know the user can, once the report is loaded, change the page setup to fit his needs, but this has two drawbakcs. First one is that it is not saved each time and I need it to be 'saveable' and by users. The second one is that Report viewer seems to have some bugs when the regional setting aren't set to what it's expecting and we can't force the users to changes their setting to accomodate one application.
If I use the following code to draw a rectange, do the values inserted into 'fromleft' & 'fromtop' set a co-ordinate from the top/left corner of the paper or from the top/left corner of the margins.
Dim R As Rectangle
Dim across As Integer = 5
Dim down As Integer = 13

The reason I am asking this question is because I am trying to print labels so the position of the labels on the sheet are fixed. When the printer is set to papersize = letter the first label is in the correct position but when I change it to A4 the first label has moved 4mm to the right. With the margins set to 0 I still cant get it justified correctly. The printer is obviosly capable of printing 4mm from the left because it does so when set to 'letter'. Can't use letter because I need the extra length of A4 for the bottom row of labels.

I have been able to do the exercise's in the first 2 chapters and half the exercise's in the third chapter of the text book (programming in visual basic 2008, Julia Case Bradley & Anita C. Millspaugh). but this one is making my head want to explode. please point me in the right direction with this.
Heres the problem. The company has instituted a bonus program to give its employees an incentive to sell more. For every dollar the store makes in a four-week period, the employees receive 2 percent of sales. The amount of bonus each employee receives is based upon the percentage of hours he or she worked during the bonus period (a total of 160 hours). The Calculate button will determine the bonus earned by this employee, and the Clear button will clear only the name, hours-worked, and bonus amount fields. A Print button allows the user to print the form. Do not allow missing or bad input data to cancel the program; instead display a message to the user.
Here's my code so far. its giving me the wrong results. i have tried many different ways,(hence the commented code) but I just dont know where im going wrong.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to do these from a simple text box. i.e. 'TextBox1'.
I'm just learning VB and it's only a simple text editor but I can't find any good sites or posts that help me in understanding how to do it. These are not really covered in any of the 'beginner' books I have acquired either.
My instructor told us how to print documents and how to use databases. What the instructor did not mention is how to print or print a preview of records within a DatabaseDataSet. The book "Programming in Visual Basic 2010" does not explain how to print or do a print preview of Database Source records from within a form. The only thing I was told was to test the print document first before you try to do a print preview. Within a form I used a DataGridView to add, delete, and update the database. So now all I need to do is figure out how to print the updated records from the DataGridView and how to print a preview of the records within the DataGridView. So I hope my question is clear enough to give me assistance on how I can perform these two actions. Thanks this would be a great help, and since the class is online we can get assistance from any sources that we have.
