Set WebBrowser control to print portrait or landscape

Hi all,

I have a simple windows form application to print a web page using the WebBrowser control.

I just need to know one thing, how to set the orientation of the printed page to landscape or portrait.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi sedgwick,

No, I am using the WebBrowser.Print() method.

I need to print the web page automatically, without the user having to select any options.

If it makes any difference, the printer is PDFCreator as I am turning the webpage into a PDF document.

Thanks.

reourcesys, does the dll need to be registered on just your development machine or all user machines?

Hi peteredm,

The application I developed runs only on one computer, the main server, as such, we only registered the .dll on that server.

In short, the .dll would need to be registered on any computer where the application is to be run.

Hope this helps.

Afraid not, for a windows app that could be used on any machine in our organisation (hospital).

Looked into modifying the registry but can only find page orientation for ie5 & 6 not 7 which is what's used here. CSS3 don't work until ie9..

At a loss on this one...
