Feb 17, 2009
I try to use printForm from powerpack , but is doesnot have fit size function. I use the following code to print , using setResolution to set the size to fit A4 paper. But I cannot print the scrollable area. 1) If using such approach, how can I print scrollable area2) With PageSetupDiaDialog, how can i set to default orientation to Landscape. I use pageSetupDialog.PageSetting.Landscapte = true, but there is error when it runs
Public Function calculatePrintPageNumber(ByVal form As Form, ByVal panelsize As Size) As Int32 Dim panelHeight As Integer = panelsize.Height Dim formHeight As Integer = form.Height Return System.Math. Abs(formHeight[code]....
I have form with text boxes that are collecting data from access database.Now I want to print this, but selectively.I know how to print whole form using PrintForm PowerPack. But I want to print only labels and text from text box.
I have created a form that we use for our employee goal setting. I would like to let the users print the form. The form is quite large and has scroll bars. I am trying to use the Printform to print the form. I would like to use autofit or some other type of scaling to get the form to fit on one page. I have done some looking aroung and have seen the following instrutions a couple of times.
1.Drag a PrintForm component onto the Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
2.Set the PrintForm.BodyContainer property to reference your Form
3.Drag a PrintPreviewDialog component onto your Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
4.Set the PrintPreviewDialog.Document property to reference the PrintForm component
5.Add a button and button click handler. In the handler call PrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog()
I don't know how to set the PrintForm.BodyContainer propery (number 2). I am using Visual Basic 2010 express.
I am looking for help with the DataRepeater in VB.Net PowerPack 3. This is Windows development were talking about not ASP.Net. I am able to set it up for a single dataset but I actually want to nest another DataRepeater inside of it. Anyone have experience with that? Is is possible? I've done it with ASP.Net but I realize were talking two different animals here.In my testing the top level repeater seems to populate fields but the nested repeater shows up empty. Nothing in it. My data tier is using LINQ to SQL.[URL]..
I'd like to know how to print a form to printer without using the vb powerpack. Also, I'd like for the users of my program to be able to save a copy of the form to a jpeg file. I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition 2008.
I am using the VB.Net printing powerpack to emulate the old Printer.Print from VB6.The printed output sent to a pdf doc via cutepdfwriter looks ugly/strange.
The generation of the shape is controlled at runtime by data read from a file to set all the properties I care about e.g. Size, Location, Color, BorderWidth etc. Now, I would like to render it on a form. This should be trivial, but I can't just add it as a control so something different must be done...
Dim rc As RectangleShape rc = New RectangleShape rc.Location = New Point(100, 100) rc.Size = New Point(150, 150)
Do I need to create some container on the form first, am I missing one of the commands to cause it to draw and/or connect it to a specific form, something else?
Im trying to set a forms size to fill my desktop screen is any function that does this or do you have to set the form size manually depending on the screen size each time ?
I'm have a program filled with forms for the user to enter data to determine fluid and reservoir properties. I want the ability to be able to print out the forms so they may be kept in binders. I'm using the PrintForm function from the Visual Basic PowerPacks but I'm having a problem getting some of the larger forms onto a single page. Is there anyway to zoom or autofit using this function? I've already tried adjusting the margins and that is not enough. I've been trying to look through the object browser but it hasn't worked very well yet.
I have a form which i need to print, however, I need to know how to format it, margins, etc... I've got it to work by adding the PrintForm powerpack and using the simple code below, but the margins are too big and it is not printing the rich text box I have.[code]....
I have created a windows application and it was working fine, then I added in the printform component from PowerPack3 and here the error starts. The application works fine on the computer I wrote it on, but when I move the exe over to another computer (which I have installed PP3 and the .net framework) I get an error. The only difference between the computer I am writing it on and trying to run it on, is that this computer has vb.net 2010 express edition installed. What do I need to do from here to get this working?
Right now, I have a PrintForm dragged onto the screen and it's named PrintForm1. I need to print this form in landscape mode so it fits all in one page.Here is the code I am currently using to print:
Private Sub Print_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Print.Click PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.CompatibleModeFullWindow) End Sub
I'm tired of having my dropdownmenu come up in my printpreview and print, so I've decided to use a timer and a progress bar to wait a few seconds before the print or printpreview is started.[code]The problem I have is when I go to print or printpreview, it will work but the program stops debugging and tells me that the form has to be focused. What up with dat?
If i draw a printform into my form from Visualbsic. poerpacks toll box then i get two errors:Error 1 'PrintForm' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing'. C:UsersAlvinDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projects[code]....

I have a form that I am using "PrintForm" to print out, however there is a notes section that can contain a lot of text, seeing as the Printform function only takes a bitmap of the form, it cuts off the text. I have another function that will print the contents of a textbox - I'd like to display this below the bitmap.
First is the code for printing the bitmap - second the textbox
PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = New System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0) PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable)
I would like to be able to print 3 pictures that go on an 81/2 x 11 paper vertically with 3 corresponding labelsI currently just use power packs to print screen image of my forms, but for this it wont work because the maximum size i can set the form 1036/780 is only about 2/3 the size of the 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click Dim PDFFileName, PDFTest As String Dim PDFNameLength, SlashLocator As Integer
I am creating a program that I would like to distribute. I am using printform in VB 2008 to print my form. My form is the size of my computer screen...15 in. If the program is run on a different computer with a different screen size, will it affect the appearance of the form on the screen or the printing of the form? If the form is run on a laptop, for example, with a smaller screen, will it cut off my form and thus cut off the form during printing? Will a bigger screen increase the size of the form and not allow it to fit correctly when printed? I was just curious and wondering.
I 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.
I'm trying to use PrintToFile from the Power Packs PrintForm Class and I have a question. I'm able to save the form to a file, but now how to print it later if needed. MSDN says that it's saved as an Encapsulated PostScript file. Adobe Illustrator claims it will open EPS file, but it won't open this one. How I can print this file in vb.net? If you've never used this before, here is my sample code to save the form to file in case someone wants to test it out.
If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Me.PrintForm1.PrintFileName = SaveFileDialog1.FileName & ".eps"Me.PrintForm1.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToFile Me.PrintForm1.Print(Me,PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable) End If
I'm using PrintForm which comes with PowerPack to print a form with a couple of Labels into it.But the letters appear a little blur and not clear at all, bad quality, I tried by increasing the size of the labels but the result was the same.Under the PrintForm parameters I only found one that could be relevant, the papersize but that doesn't helped too.
Now all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.
When I call PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable)Only the visible portion of the screen is printed.What else do I need to dobill
I have a Bindingnavigator on my form and is using Printform. Problem is whenever I execute Printform.print() only the 1st record is shown. How do I print the other records? How can I do a Print All?
I am attempting to publish a project I have just finished on a DVD. The problem I have is a lot of the computers this project will land on, have no internet capability.
How then do I get things loaded on their computers such as "MS .Net Framework 4 Client Profile" and the Powerpack dll?
I have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns. My goal is to have the font dynamically change size to be as large as possible without overflowing the fixed label size.
