How to print form ?

[C.K]

Hi,

I am doing a calendar program for printing. I have a vb form.
The form has a picture and a calendar grid made out of
buttons (I don't actually press the buttons, they were just
an easy way to make up the grid for the days of the month.
I now don't know how to print the form. If I will have to
use screen capture it will be dreadful, not to mention that
because the size of the form has to result on a fully covered
A4 page, it will not fit onto my 800x600 screen ?

The other way I was thinking to do the calendar was to use
an html page, because then I can add a picture and a table
quite easily. The down side is that javascript is not an ideal
language, and I really do need the dotnet calendar object.
Any ideas?

Re: How to print form ?

1.) Get the form up on your monitor
2.) Drag a photo copier near your machine
3.) Lift the monitor and place it screen down on your photocopier
4.) Set the scaling and press go.

Voila !

Mhm... I would implement separate printing code that is based on the
'PrintDocument' class to perform printing of the calendar.

You can check out the code found in this article:

http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/printform.html

It may help provide a good starting point for you, and it contains a link to
some code found on MSDN that may help as well.
