Question

Visual Studio SP1 PrintDialog

Asked by: sk33v3

This weekend I was having problems with Visual studio and decided to see if they had a patch for the problem I was experiencing, and found that they had SP1. So over the weekend I installed SP1 and that did indeed fix the problem I was having. Now I get in to work on a different project this morning to find that the print dialog will not print to the printer, prior to SP1 the code worked fine, am I missing something that I should have set?

Is this the print feature within Visual Studio or are you running an application that has a print dialog?

 

by: sk33v3Posted on 2007-07-16 at 12:28:48ID: 19498842

Using the print dialog within an application that I built.

What code do you have that is working with the print dialog?

Me.PDMain.ShowDialog()

PDMain is a PrintDialog Control on the form with the document set to PDInfo. When running the PrintPage event of the PDInfo Control doesn't even fire.

>>the PDInfo Control doesn't even fire
How are you configuring this to happen?

Bob

 

by: sk33v3Posted on 2007-07-16 at 12:57:20ID: 19499150

Well in the past what I seem to remember is that you assign the document, in this case PDInfo, you call the Showdialog method and when you select ok to print, the PDInfo.PrintPAge event fires and you draw to the graphics object. Now what is happening is the dialog shows and I click ok to print and the event never fires

What was the problem?  I was trying to set up a test, and I hadn't finished yet.

Bob

 

by: sk33v3Posted on 2007-07-17 at 19:50:28ID: 19510783

I just called the PDInfo.Print after showing the dialog. Not sure why but it doesn't look like the older code required the .print method.
