Printing a Form in VB.NET

Hi there,
take alook here:

Thanks for the link. The example, however, doesn't seem to be written in VB.NET.

Hi again,
sorry about that...

get a PrintDocument from the toolBox.

Help on PrintDocument:

Help on Graphic.DrawString:

Double click on the PrintDocument to get to the  "PrintDocument1_PrintPage" event handler.

These links also don't seem to solve the problem. It appears that they concern printing of a document and not printing of a screenshot of the form displayed on the screen.

Hi,
have a look at this article

Hope that this helps you

Thanks for the link. For some reason, however, I can't declare PrintDocument1. The following

Private WithEvents m_PrintDocument As PrintDocument1

gives me the error message

Type 'PrintDocument1' is not defined.

despite the fact that I have installed the PrintDocument1 object from the ToolBox. What might be the reason?

planocz, this part of your code:

Private Sub pdoc_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles pdoc.PrintPage
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 0, 0)
End Sub

gives me the following error:

Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable.

Do you have any suggestions how to fix that?

Sorry I forgot to add this to your FORM...
 
  Private WithEvents pdoc As New PrintDocument

I hope it will help me as well, thats some great work guys. Keep it UP !!

Hi Guys

The above are great if you only want to capture the visible part of the screen - how would you work this if your form was longer than the screen and you used the scrollbar to move down it?  ( I have this issue at the moment!)
