VS 2008 - How To Create Event For PrintDocument
Nov 15, 2010We have made on run time a printDocument object.

I want to use the added functionality (for word wrap etc) of the TextRenderer.DrawText method.... but this does not seem to work correctly on the Graphics object in the PrintPage event in the PrintDocument Object and does not take into consideration any transformations that have been applied. Does anyone have a replacement way or workaround for this?
View 1 RepliesI am printing my form by using the printdocument of VS and the printform found in powerpacks. I never got the preview to work so when ever I want to print I send my information on a new form (form1) which I have altered ( colour borders ) so it is printable. To print form1 I have added a toolstrip with a print button so when the user sees all is ok on the form1 he clicks on it which hides the toolstrip and prints form1. All this sequence works fine. The problem I have been getting lately is that I can print on the first try but when I call another form to print the toolstrip ( with the print button ) is always hidden. I have to exit the application and re enter to get it to show up. Any solution to this or even how to print in a better way. (have the preview to work for example ). I have tried to use printdialog to print but I have never been able to send the document to print.
View 4 RepliesI have this rather annoying problem when printing in VB.NET. I use the PrintDocument object and after it has done its job, the form gets minimized to the taskbar. I tried to force the focus on the form but to no avail. I was just wondering if someone else has encountered this problem and maybe has a solution for it?

The string is measured to determine how many characters and lines it contains via the following code:-
'Determine characters and lines required to print the core report data e.Graphics.MeasureString(str, printerFont, sz, strformat, chars, lines)I've implemented a pageNumber integer variable which I increment in the PrintDocument.PrintPage.
I'm wondering how to print the TOTAL number of pages, not just the current page? Could this be worked out via the number of lines and page type (portrait/landscape) and perhaps margins?
I create some reports or documents in my vb 2008 application using the Printing.printdocument object.I have no problem when i print to a printer but I also need to print directly to a PDF file, and specify the filename in the code. I don't want to have any interaction with the filename dialog box. It must be totally transparent to the user. Does anyone have an idea to help me? I don't find anything on the net?

I have a program that prints using the printdocument control. How do I check for errors in the program. Sometimes the program prints ok, sometimes the print does not print at all or give any feedback about the status of the print.
Bireirectional printing is enabled on the printer.
The program prints barcoded orders to a barcode label printer. The supplier's only cue to supply is the printed barcode label. I can see in the program that the orders are getting queued, and at certain intervals a timer runs to update each available order's status to "printed".As far as I am aware, there is no "Error" event of the printdocument control, and the printing is an asynchronous operation. So how should I check?

I have written a timeclock application for my employees and am trying to generate a report using a printdocument.The problem I'm having is finishing out the entries on another page. This code is causing the remaining entries to be printed on the same page over top of the original ones.Here is the basics of the code.
Private Sub prtReport_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles prtReport.PrintPage
Dim TitleFont As New Font("Times New Roman", 22)
Dim HeaderFont As New Font("Microsoft San Serif", 14)

.Font = New Font("Code 128", 28)

I am having problems trying to center some text. I created a printdocument and it has a company name and title and then other information I have the information fine but I wanted to center the company name [code]I know I have to get the width of the page then divide it by two and after that find out how long my text is then subtract that so it still prints center screen. Pretty much right now it prints out and runs off the right side of the page.But what I would like it to do is print in the Center but have equal margins on the sides of the page still.Just like clicking Center allignment on a word doc.
View 1 RepliesThe problem I'm facing is that PrintForm has a shoddy quality while getting the printouts and PrintDocument takes way too long to get on receipt printed (Almost 5-10 Seconds!)I'm either looking for an alternative for PrintDocument or somehow make the PrintDocument run faster

I'm sending a rtl text "Arabic" to a receipt printer. My problem is in selecting left and top coordinates for each line. If the paper width changes the whole procedure needs to be written for that specific width, because I'm measuring form the left edge. Is there a way in the printDocument object that flips the starting point from left to right?
p.s. the format string in the args.Graphics.DrawString() only select the direction of the printed string in case it has some numbers and symbols but it doesn't start the string from the right edge of the page.
The project I am working on requires me to printout a form and email the printout to another department within my company. I have the printout exactly the way I need it, but I am not clear on how to save the PrintDocument to an image. The following link has an example of exactly what I am trying to accomplish, but I just can't understand how how the PrintImage() sub works or how to use MyObj to do both.

I'm using the PrintPreviewDialog and am wondering how I can change a boolean variable after the PrintDocument has been rendered in the dialog window. I found out that using the dialog's Shown event fires before the PrintDocument has been rendered so the boolean gets changed before the document's been rendered. I can't use any of the PrintDocument's events to change the boolean since the preview dialog is not always used unless there's a way I can use the EndPrint event to detect that the PrintDocument's owner is the PrintPreviewDialog or an actual printer or something.

View 2 RepliesThis is a scratchy rough copy (Published as Version 1.1.0 because there was a huge logic error in 1.0.0), and I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers on how to make the code better. The heart of the program is here. I don't have the code for the SplashScreen, AboutBox, and the InstructionsForm because that is unnecessary. The main issue that I have is with the large EndSalesButton_Click event. The big block there is driving my eyes and brain crazy while trying to test the logic. So, to sum up everything, can anyone make that look nicer and easier on the mind? If you would like to run my program to better understand how it works, feel free to contact me at either of the two emails in the beginning declarations (lines 2 and 3)of the code below.

I need to pass a parameter to the event PrintPage of the PrintDocument relative to my PrintPreviewDialog in some way.I tought to inherit PrintDocument class adding to it a property with the parameter I need, creating MyPrintDocument class. Then, I would like to create MyPrintPreviewDialog class, in which I could override the Document property declaring it of MyPrintDocument type.The problem is that the Document property is not overridable and if I declare it Shadows the PrintPageEvent doesn't raise.

View 2 RepliesI have tried everything and read everything and I still can't set the height and width of a document? It always boils down to setting the kind to "Custom", however the
Dim psize As Printing.PaperSize
psize.Kind = PaperKind.Custom
always fails on property 'Kind' is read only.
Then of course the line psize.height = 200 always aborts because 'Kind is not set to custom'.

View 1 RepliesIn VB6 we had a code inside textBox_MouseUp to call textBox_KeyUp(-1, 0) and the signature of KeyUp was
Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByRef KeyCode As Short, ByRef Shift As Short) Handles textBox.KeyUp
Now when I migrate to .NET I changed the KeyUp event to Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox.KeyUp
How can I do this call textBox_KeyUp(-1,0) now from textBox_MouseUp event?
Do you know of a way of knowing the lenght a string will ocupy on a .DrawString using PrintDocument?
What I want to do is to break up a string in case it won't fit on the page, do not sugest to search for the lenght of the string itself because I am not interested in the number of characters, as you may know, PrintDocument "draws" the text on the page so on proportionate fonts, the number of characters is independent on the lenght of the output.
this is the line that prints the text:
vb.net
e.Graphics.DrawString(strText, New Font("Arial", 12), Brushes.Black, 10,10)
Of course I could use monospaced fonts like courier or the like but... well, I don't want to.
i have a printing to do and there are several ways to print.i know how to print using the printdocument or creating a crystal report and print or transfer the data into an excel sheet and then print(but it needs the excel to be installed in the host computer)but i cant understand which one is the best and mostly preferred.
