View 3 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?
View 6 RepliesHow can I get my application to load the Sub Main at the start rather than loading a form on start up.
I have tried declaring 'Public Sub Main' on my forms and in some modules, yet in my project properties, it is not one of the options.
I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
View 2 RepliesI have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
I want a stopwatch thing, to start on the forst form, and stop on the last form, and to show the time.

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?

View 4 RepliesI have an A5 paper. I need to set the print document to this paper. But I can't change RawKind property of the print document. Please help. I tried that code, but it didn't work:

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 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?

Then of course the line psize.height = 200 always aborts because 'Kind is not set to custom'.
