    Print Preview bug ?

    Hi guys,

    Im trying to use the PrintDialog stuff in my graphics package to allow
    people to print their photos.

    It all works fine and the user can specific margins and photo size, but I
    can't get the preview to show the margins.

    I must be setting them correctly because they print ok, but no matter what I
    do the PreviewDialog just shows the photo "top left" and ignores the
    margins.

    Am I missing something ? Thats for any help.

    Todd.

      I remember wrestling with this a while back, but I can't remember the
      details.

      First off, you do realize that your PrintPage method is responsible for
      creating the margins by starting to draw down and to the right of the
      (0, 0) point of the Graphics object on which you're rendering?

      Nonetheless, I do remember some mess about the PrintPreviewCon trol not
      showing the page with the same margins that were coming out of the
      printer. I'll see if I can find any notes on that when I get back to
      work.

          Thanks Bruce,

          I've tried everything I can think of, apart from manually render the margins
          into the Graphic object myself ! :)

          The strange thing is that it prints fine, but just won't show in the
          preview. Ive tried both the PrintPreviewDia log and PrintPreviewCon trol,
          setting the margins to a fixed value in the constructor, pagePrint event and
          queryPageSettin g event.

          Thanks again for any help you can offer.

          Todd.
