I am currently trying to find a way to accurately print a complex form that I created in VB6.
I stumbled upon a company that has a very impressive package called Winform Reports.

Currently it is only supported in .NET.
Does anything like this exist for VB6?
I have a control that looks similar to the following:
I need to add slightly round ends where all that extra end space is. I'm not sure how to add these. It should look similar to the round ends on this page.
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 a VB.NET application that executes a test when the user clicks a "Start" button. The application communicates back and forth with a USB device and eventually stops when the USB device sends back a specific trigger, or if the user chooses to cancel the test. I would like to measure the time elapsed during each test and display it to the screen.The program is significantly complex and I have several timers that control sampling rate, the frequency of the output, the frequency of signals in a calibration method, etc.I tried two approaches so far, both of which led to invalid time measurements. I say they're invalid because I used several stopwatches I know to be accurate in addition to the system clock (the clock with a second hand that pops up when you double click the time in the bottom right hand corner of Windows XP) to measure the actual time of each test. Consistently, my program will indicate more time has passed than actually has.I tried simply dividing the number of samples I took by the the sampling frequency. I got back a time that was about 1.33 times greater than the actual time. This ratio would change with different frequencies, and even with the same frequency from day to day.
I tried using the DateTimePicker in my main form to measure the time passage. At the start of the test I'd record the start time, startTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, at the end of the test I'd record the end time, endTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, and then I'd set the text of a label equal to their difference, TestDurationLabel.text = (endTime - startTime).ToString. I initialized startTime and endTime as Dates. I get back a time that is about 1.2 times greater than the actual time.
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

I am currently working on a program that takes Visual Basic data in the form of a text file, and then stores this data in C++. Some of the data from Visual Basic is of the type Decimal. C++ has no built in type equivalent to decimal. I don't want to use double because there is a possible loss of significant figures if the numbers are large enough.One option is write my own decimal class.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a custom scroll bar. When dragging the slider, things work smoothing with what I have... that is if the users movements are smooth and slow-ish. When moving quickly the mouse move event doesn't seem to fire as accurately as I had hoped.. I attempted using the up and down buttons enter event for re positioning or "resetting" the slider whenragging is activated but still those events don't even fire when the mouse move event is firing. So I believe I hit a barrier of my .Net knowledge and hope someone here knows a way around this little issue.

View 7 RepliesI 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 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:
[Code]...
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

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.
