VS 2010 Use Print Form Power To Print A Windows Form From Console?
Jun 29, 2010
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 created my program in VB 2005 on my XP machine at home and installed PP3 to take advantage of the printform component. It worsk great for my purposes and was easy to install and code.However when I brought my un-compiled code to my office which runs Win 2000 I got an error, saying I didnt have the correct version. I assumed it would be back ward compatible, never assume especially in programming.
So my question is can I just delete all references to printform component on my program and install power pack2 , which does support Win 2000 and XP then re-install print component.Or is there another way to make this work? I am not finding alot of information on the web other then Power pack 3 doesnt support Win 2000?

Is it easier to print a VB.net windows form in Visual Studio 2010?
I have been struggling with this - the PrintForm utility in the Powerpack only prints the displayed portion of the current form.
I spent a lot of time creating a process which loops through each control on my form, converts to a bitmap, and drops it on the print document, only to finally discover that the RichTextBox control (which I used extensively) does not include a functional DrawToBitmap method.
I have already researched various ways of managing this, but if VS2010 will do it without jumping through the hoops then I'll spring for it like the sucker I am.
I can do this in Access and VB6, I believe, so I don't think this is an unreasonable expectation.

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.
Public Class VB_Sales
Const BONUSHOURS As Decimal = 160
[CODE]..............

I been playing around with some code I found on internet and I am probably almost where I need to be. Using the printdocument I am able to get the active form in my project to print. That works fine. MY nextr issue was to get the form to print so that it is Black & white. No shading etc.. So I found a routine on internet that will take image and turn to B&W. Problem: IF a text box fields background color is too dark then the entire box shows up in black. If a text box field data is Selected it also is too dark and comes out white.her is code I found for turnign to B&W
Public Function PureBW(ByVal image As System.Drawing.Bitmap, Optional ByVal Mode As BWMode = BWMode.By_Lightness, Optional ByVal tolerance As Single = 0) As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim x As Integer

I've been working of a Visual Basic Windows Form in Visual Studio 2010 as my first little VB project. It's a form which runs a stored procedure on SQL. I have this all working, however, the stored procedure has a PRINT statement execute if a duplicate is found and stops. What I'd like to do is have this PRINT statement display on the Windows form MessageLabel (label) or have a "successful" message displayed if there is no SQL print statement.

I need to print a windows form which contains radio buttons, checkboxes, and other controls.
Printform doesn't work - even with the scrollable option it only prints the visible screen.
The PrintDocument doesn't work, because I can't add controls to it.
I can't capture the screen image, because the form occupies more than the visible screen.

How to Print a Win form of VB.net after Print Preview?

Feb 21, 2011
Ok, so I done some reading and searching and I am confused on what is the best way to print my form that has 2 labels, 2 richtextboxes on it on get it to print to a 3x5 card or 4x7. I had this built in vb6 and used a picturebox but that method doesn't work in .NET. So what is easier, printform or printdocument or DrawString. I tried the printform but I don't want the whole form printed. Also read about DrawString as well. Honestly, I am confused on all of it.

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.

I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)

I want to Print the contents of Following Given form
This Form Contains: 5 TextBoxes - Name, Age, Sex, Date, And Referred Doctor And 1 DataGridView Containing Tests Performed on Patients - Test Name | Normal Value | P Value | Cost
I want to print this on a A4 Size sheet. I dont want to use bitmap image solution for this. That looks terrible, in which an image of complete form is displayed as "Print Preview". how to cleanly print out the content ?

I am trying to create bitmaps from data, display them in a particular way on another form and then save an image of the other form. I can print the form display correctly when the code is run on the form to be printed, however, I would like to cycle through a bunch of data files and the form_print event will only execute after the form_load routine has complete. So, I've tried calling the form.show from another form, but then the form_print event is not called. Generally, this is what I would like to do:

This is how you can take a picture of the form and print it.First thing you have to do is add a PrintDocument component to the form. You can get that from the Toolbox (way down the list). Then you need to add a PrintDialog to the form as well. Also a button that says "Print" is probably a good idea...Code:'We declare this here, cause were going to take the picture befor we show the print dialog'I tried to take the picture in the PrintPage sub but it didnt work, would print the dialogs, etc.'So we take the picture when the user presses the button, then show the dialog.Private Print_Image As Image
'This is used to take the pictureDeclare Auto Function BitBlt Lib "GDI32.DLL" ( _ ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, _ ByVal nXDest As Integer, _ ByVal nYDest As Integer, _ ByVal nWidth As Integer, _ ByVal nHeight As Integer, _ ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, _ ByVal nXSrc As Integer, _ ByVal nYSrc As Integer, _ ByVal dwRop As Int32) As Boolean

I have tried everything, downloaded programs, searched everything, subscribed to various forums and still I haven't got the solution to the following problem.
Using Visual Studio 2008 pro.
I wanted to create a report based on data from a form but that didn't work on CR because I couldn't transfer the richtextbox contents to the CR along with its formating and pictures. So abandoning that idea, I decided to create a form and print the contents. Once again the RichTectBox is creating major problems for me.
Does anyone know how I can print a form that has: Textboxes AND Richtextboxes (with formated text and pictures) The form will propably have 6or7 txtboxes and 1 rtb but that doesn't really matter if I figure out how to print 1 and 1 on one try.

Since the coming of Windows7 at our office we have sometimes the issue that the print spool is crashing.Users don't have admin rights to restart the service so that leaves them only at restarting their computer as solution.Which costs alot of time... As we cannot find a final solution to this problem I've begin to write a small tool so they can restart it..I've only hard code a local admin account in the source for this operate for them..
