calling a printpreview function

[wildfire1982]

Hello, is there any way to call the printpreviewdialogs code? or below you can see basically what i need to do. I just cant pass the system.drawing.printing.printPageEventArgs reference. I need to pass it on to be able to call it. Any suggestions?

 

PrintDocument1_printpage(Me, Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

 

The reason i ask is that im trying to print a picture and i can get the printer to print but i just cant get it to drawImage.

 

Cheers

Hi wildfire,

 

this is some code of mine (excerpt) I hope this helps a little bit:

 

Protected oPrintPreDlg as New PrintPreviewDialog
Protected oProntDoc as New PrintDocument

...

oPrintPreDlg.Document = oPrintDoc 'What to print in printpreview
oPrintPreDlg.ShowDialog()
'oPrintDoc.Print() 'Would print the document to the printer
...

Private Sub oPrintDoc_Printpage(sender as Object, e as system.drawing.PrintEventargs)...
...
e.Graphics.DrawLine(...)
e.Graphics.DrawString("SomeText",...)
...
End Sub

 

You just need to define your printdocument-object. Printpage is the Event where you can define what to print. You do not need to define any PrintPageEventArgs or something like that. In the example I'd just draw a line and some text. There are also Methods for drawing images or whatever you want.

 

Any further questions, just ask
