VS 2005 - How To Set Margins To Print Out Image Of Form
Apr 20, 2009
As 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.
I 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).
I have a form that displays some data I pull out of a SQL server. Now I want to print this entire form on an A4 sized paper (including the static labels etc). see pic attached. write a function that would print the entire form once all the data is retrieved (EOF of the dataset)?
i have a form in which i have Name, startdate, end date, total hours, hourly rate, age and the total week hours. I want to print the name of employee with startdate, end date and total hours.
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.
trying to print a Form that I created using a VB.Net console application. My console application creates an instance of a Windows Form and fills it with data. I then created an instance of the Print Form class from the Microsoft Power Pack and am trying to get the form I filled with data to print but no matter what I've tried it just prints the command console window.
Dim firstPage As New FrontPage 'Windows Form Dim pf As New PrintForm 'Print Form Power Pack firstPage.Visible = True
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.
I've been searching for hours tonight searching existing posts, other websites and all i can find are examples of how to capture a image from a webcam.Does anyone have any code that simple talks to the camera device via WIA, and then saves every image found on the device to a hard drive?I found this code below. Credit i cant tell you as i have a bunch of different flavors of code, but this only saves the file as a tmp file, and not the actual image file i expected after selecting?
for my project "Shotty" (a screenshot capture, edit and upload utility)I am searching for a way to print the captured image. I don't want to implemet a complete printer setup printing code, so I thought it should be possible to save the image to %temp% and run the explorer integrated image printing on it.
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?
I 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?
I 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 have an Excel 2007 workbook chock full o' VBA macros that do various things, including one that jumps from chart to chart making PDFs of each using PDFCreator, based on some code I borrowed from Ken Puls (url...).However recently I and some users of the workbook started having problems where the PDFs would be created with either gray image artifacts over the charts,or the whole chart image would have a double of itself skewed slightly. It just happens the problems started after we did a global upgrade to Office 2007, though I had had 2007 installed on my computer for a while and tested and used the workbook extensively without issue up until then. Here is the part of the code that automates the printing:
Sub PDF_print_all() 'Author : Ken Puls (www.excelguru.ca) 'Macro Purpose: Print to PDF file using PDFCreator[code]...
The problem is not consistent either... sometimes it will print to PDF with an oddly shaped block of gray, and sometimes it will only have the whole chart image doubled. The only consistency I could find is that sometimes if an object is selected in a chart beforehand (a text box, chart line, axis numbers, etc) the gray artifact will partly mimic the shape of whatever object had been selected.I wish I could include example images to show exactly what's happening.I know it's not a problem inherent to PDFCreator because if I manually print to it in Excel, the PDF image looks perfect. It's only when I use the automated method that the problem occurs, so I thought maybe it was the code.
Dim workspace(1 To 4) As Long ' (1)=left (2)=top (3)=right (4)=bottom SystemParametersInfo &H30, 0, workspace(1), 0 ' &h30 = get workspace size Dim X As Long, Y As Long, w As Long, h As Long
X = workspace(1) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX Y = workspace(2) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY w = workspace(3) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX - X h = workspace(4) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY - Y
Move X + 0.1 * w, Y + 0.1 * h, 0.8 * w, 0.8 * h ' 10% margins
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.
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:
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?
