Print the RichTextBox

[James Wong]

Hi,

I use the RichTextBox in my program.
It will use different language in this RichTextBox (chinese and english
characters), and it set the "DualFont" and use different fonts.
By the way, how can I print out this content to printer easily?

Thanks!

James

RichTextBox has a ContentsResized event, which will bring us the new
requested size in its event args. Is it what you need?

>2) Can I set the position layout of RichTextBox in paper?

I'm sorry that I couldn't understand what you mean. Could you please
explain more?

I look forward to your reply.

Re: Print the RichTextBox

Hi Linda,

I use the DualFont function in RichTextBox, but it seems not work.

example 1:
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Language Option = RichTextBoxLang uageOptions.Dua lFont
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Text = "{some chinese characters} ABCDEF"
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Font = New Font("{chinese font}", 12)
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Font = New Font("Gill Sans Ultra Bold", 40)

It occurs two fonts ("{chinese font}" & "Gill Sans Ultra Bold"), but the
font size is 40.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

example 2:
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Language Option = RichTextBoxLang uageOptions.Dua lFont
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Text = "{some chinese characters} ABCDEF"
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Font = New Font("Gill Sans Ultra Bold", 40)
RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl1.Font = New Font("{chinese font}", 12)

It occurs one font only ("{chinese font}"), but the font size is 12.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, I read this article. (
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;811401 )
If my project has many RichTextBox, can I print these contents in one paper?

By the way, how can I set the coordinates of print out paper using
RichTextBox?
e.g. adjust to center, adjust 2 cm in left side...

Thanks~

James

This is a quick note to let you know that I am researching on this issue

Re: Print the RichTextBox

Hi James,

Sorry for my delayed reply.

The LanguageOption property of RichTextBox is new in .NET 2.0. This
property gets or sets a value that indicates RichTextBox settings for Input
Method Editor (IME) and Asian language support. The default value of the
LanguageOption property of RichTextBox is AutoFont|DualFo nt. That's to say,
RichTextBox supports DualFont by default.

When a richtextbox supports DualFont, it doesn't means that we could set an
English font for ASCII text and an Asian font for Asian text at one time.
Instead, we should make use of the SelectionFont property of the
richtextbox to set fonts for the two kinds of text respectively.

For example, we could add two buttons called button1 and button2 on the
form. Click button1 to set an English font for ASCII text and click button2
to set an Asian font for Asian text. To set the ASCII text in the
richtextbox to the English font, select the ASCII text in the richtextbox
and click button1. To set the Asian text in the richtextbox to the Asian
font, select the Asian text in the richtextbox and click button2.

If my project has many RichTextBox, can I print these contents in one

paper?

In the sample provided in the Microsoft support website, the actual
printing work is done by the SendMessage Win32 API, which is called in the
Print method in the RichTextBoxPrin tCtrl class. This line of code is 'res =
SendMessage(Han dle, EM_FORMATRANGE, wparam, lparam);'. Note that the
richtextboxctrl control's Handle is passed to the SendMessage function.
This means that we could only print out the content in ONE richtextboxctrl
control at one time.

To print out the contents in several richtextboxctrl s at one time in one
paper, we could copy the contents in all the richtextboxctrl s into one
richtextboxctrl and print the total content out and restore the content in
the richtextboxctrl after the printing is finished. Suppose there're two
richtextboxctrl s on the form. The following is a sample to print out
contents in both richtextboxctrl s at one time.

void printDocument1_ BeginPrint(obje ct sender,
System.Drawing. Printing.PrintE ventArgs e)
{
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl2.Sel ectAll();
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl2.Cop y();

this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl1.Foc us();
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl1.Sel ectionStart =
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl2.Tex tLength;
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl1.Pas te();

checkPrint = 0;
}

void printDocument1_ EndPrint(object sender,
System.Drawing. Printing.PrintE ventArgs e)
{
this.richTextBo xPrintCtrl1.Und o();
}

how can I set the coordinates of print out paper using RichTextBox? e.g.

adjust to center, adjust 2 cm in left side...

You could make use of the DefaultPageSett ings property of PrintDocument to
set the page margin. The following is a sample.

this.printDocum ent1.DefaultPag eSettings.Margi ns.Left = 200;

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
